‘WOF’: Is This Vanna White’s Last Contract?
Could this upcoming contract be Wheel of Fortune’s co-host Vanna White’s last? She has been trying to negotiate a much higher paycheck, comparable to longtime host, Pat Sajak. Unfortunately, there have been some kinks along the way in getting her what she wants and needs. So, will this be the end of her dealings? Read on for more details.
Is This Vanna White’s Last Contract?
Wheel of Fortune is set to undergo some major changes after Season 41. Pat Sajak will retire after hosting since 1981 whereas Vanna White is still trying to make things right for herself. It recently came out that she has not gotten a pay increase in nearly two decades. Furthermore, she apparently only makes three million dollars a year whereas Sajak makes fifteen million so it’s a big difference. Now, with the things in motion to make this last year for Pat the best year, the hope is that Vanna’s contract can get sorted. Sadly, it has not been so easy.
According to She Knows, the current contract being negotiated for Vanna White is hopefully going to be her last. Per the Daily Mail, a source had this to say about the whole situation: “They want her next contract though to be her last contract so there is a little more maneuverability to change things up in a few years when they look for her replacement.” Okay, so it appears that they are not pushing her out just yet.
However, the source did go on to say: “It is a matter of who is going to budge first, but they both aren’t blinking yet. Vanna wants to go out on her terms and retire when she is ready with a nice paycheck to end it all.” It does seem that everyone involved wants the same things. They just have some minor issues that need to be resolved. Clearly, if this is the final contract, everything needs to be done to perfection to make everyone happy. Hopefully, someone will budge because the show must go on.
Vanna’s Replacement
Fans will get a taste of what it will be like if Vanna White is replaced. In October, someone else will be filling in for Vanna as these episodes were filmed in July. This raised eyebrows with fans questioning if Vanna’s time was done or if they were testing out new letter turners. As it turned out, she had just fallen ill with Covid. As of now, if all goes the way she would like it, Vanna will get her dream contract. Then, she will transition to the new WoF with future host, Ryan Seacrest for Season 42 until her time is up.
