With Pat Sajak announcing he's retirement there was some question about Vanna White. But there is one thing for sure, finding out there might be a "height" requirement, Carla Rea is doubtful "Wheel of Fortune" is in her future!

On The Mike & Carla Morning Show, everyone was wondering with Sajak leaving in less than a year, would Vanna stick around. So, on The M&C Morning Show, Mike O'Brian asked Carla Rea if she ever thought about applying for Vanna's gig? Clearly one the most cushiest jobs in America, Carla would be perfect.

"Wheel of Fortune" might need more than just a new host!

However, Carla was quick to point out that with the height of the letters, she might not be able to fill the bill. Always being supportive, O'Brian came up with a solution that might actually help her get the gig.

As funny as it was, the idea did make sense and the show wouldn't skip a beat! We will say that it would make the show more interesting though. Overall, the idea is still a work in progress!

But let's get back to Pat Sajak...you would replace the longtime game show host? Ryan Seacrest was mentioned as the frontrunner for the gig, but Whoopi Goldberg thought she would be a great host!

We do know that they are not considering a former contestant like they did on another show. But it would be great if Carla got picked up by NBC to c0-host the game show. She would be a bit more sassy than Vanna, that's for sure!

Nonetheless, listen to the segment, enjoy and let us know who you would like to see host. We all love the show and it would be great if someone could keep it going that we all enjoy. Just think about it, then you tell us. If for nothing else, listen to hear Mike's idea on how Carla could actually work the letters despite her lack of height!
