How many times does Vanna White clap each show?

Answer 1

Vanna White holds the Guinness book of wold records as television's most frequent clapper. Her bio on Wheel of Fortune.com says she claps an average of 720 claps per episode. I believe that may be in error and they meant a week's taping because they also say it is 28,000 per season and they show tapes 40 weeks a season.

Answer 2

In 1992, the "Guinness Book of World Records" listed Vanna White as the world's most frequent clapper. Vanna puts her hands together for contestants some 28,080 times a season - an average of 720 times per show.(see related link) It's not really a show since that would be 720 times 200 or 144,000 times a year, it's a taping day with 5 episodes 720 times 40 equals 28,800. So the 720 times is spread out over a day and not a half hour and her clapping is light and quick after a person guesses a correct letter. This is also more proof that it is a taping day of 5 episodes since they never have anywhere near 720 letters on a single episode.

Answer 3

28,000 times "In 1992, White was recognized in "The Guinness Book of World Records" as "Television's Most Frequent Clapper." Averaging 720 claps per episode, she puts her hands together more than 28,000 times per season!" see related link

If you do the math the 200 episodes would be 144,800 and it is likely that they meant a taping day which is 5 episodes, so that correct episode number would only be 144
