“I don’t even want to think about that. I mean, we’re a team,” she told People.

This comes in response to Pat telling the magazine that they’re “closer to the end than the beginning.”

“I wouldn’t bet on seeing us in, like, ten years; I would say,” Pat admitted.

Vanna and Pat built an iconic legacy together at Wheel of Fortune.

Pat joined the show in 1981, and Vanna joined a year later.

Vanna is nearing her 40th anniversary on the show – a milestone she is grateful to achieve.

“It’s incredible. I cannot believe it’s been 40 years. Honestly, I’ve loved every minute of it,” she said.

“Who still says they love their job after 40 years? Me!”

As for the show after their impending exit, the co-hosts don’t know if Wheel will stay on the air.

“We’ve been in everybody’s homes for 40 years, so it would be weird having somebody else turn my letters,” Vanna said.

“I can’t imagine. Everybody relates Wheel of Fortune to Pat and Vanna. We’re like Ken and Barbie, you know?”

Vanna’s presence on the show became so legendary her persona inspired the runway theme in RuPaul’s Drag Race All Stars, All Winners.

Wheel of Fortune has aired since 1975; Chuck Woolery and Susan Stafford initially hosted the show.

The show stands as the longest-running syndicated show in the US.
