Vanna White is taking a week off from Wheel of Fortune, but it is not a vacation. That is because our favorite hostess tested positive for COVID-19.
Since it is Teacher’s Week on the game show, they got a teacher to fill in for her. Not just any teacher, California’s Teacher of the Year Bridgette Donald-Blue. Even though she teaches elementary school math, she did a good job turning letters. And I am sure her students are very proud of her.
When it comes to Ms. White, Pat Sajak said she was feeling fine and was just suffering from sniffles.
As we know, there is plenty of misinformation out there about the COVID-19 vaccine. There are people who say don’t get it. But they are wrong. It will help lessen the symptoms of COVID-19 and prevent you from getting really sick with it. I know people who have long COVID, and I want to avoid that like the plague. And COVID-19 is a plague.
Because so many people are hesitant to get it due to the lies, famous people are asking people to get the shot to protect themselves and others.
Today, Mr. T, who told us not to do drugs in the ’80s, is telling us to get the COVID booster and the flu shot. I grew up watching Mr. T, so when he tells me to do something, I am going to do it. And I pity the fool who doesn’t.
Steve Martin Short were going to bring their shenanigans to Las Vegas this weekend, but they had to postpone their shows.
The Wild and Crazy wrote, “Dear fans and enemies,
“Unfortunately, our sold-out shows at the Wynn in Las Vegas this Friday and Saturday has to be postponed because of rampant Covid in our crew and one other essential guy. We are sorry for any inconvenience, but we are moving to mid-December, where your tickets will be honored with an added ‘date-moving tax,’ of nine thousand dollars.”
Hopefully, “the essential guy” will be feeling better soon. He is a national treasure, even though he is Canadian, and needs to be around for a long time.
Sherri Shepherd is one of the few daytime talk shows that is still airing during the strike because she doesn’t employ any WGA writers. However, her show will not be going live for the rest of the week.
That is because the host tested positive for COVID. So, instead of her going live, they will be airing repeats of Monday’s and Tuesday’s episodes.
Sherri said, “I am absolutely heartbroken that I cannot return to host my show this week. As soon as I get the all-clear from my doctor, I look forward to coming back strong to deliver the fun, laughter and a real good time.”
Hopefully, she will be better soon.
As COVID cases rise, please protect yourself from the virus. Wear a mask, and get the new booster shot.
Broadway legend Chita Rivera was supposed to speak about her memoir Chita: A Memoir at the New York Public Library of Performing Arts yesterday, but the 90-year-old had to cancel.
The NYPL wrote, “Unfortunately, Chita Rivera has tested positive for COVID, and will be unable to attend our panel discussion on Monday, September 18. We will follow up to all who have signed up for the event if we have any updates in the future. We hope to schedule a new date for this event.
“In the meantime, please keep Chita Rivera in your thoughts. We hope to see you soon at the Library for the Performing Arts.”
Hopefully, she will be better soon and not suffer any lingering effects from the virus.
