GoogleNews 09/20/23 1:11:04 PM #1:	Wheel of Fortune will still have one familiar face after longtime host Pat Sajak leaves the iconic game show: Vanna White has signed on for two additional seasons, meaning that after the upcoming 41st (Sajak's last, which started filming last week) she'll be there to welcome new host Ryan Seacrest in the 42nd season and will continue through at least the show's 2025-26 season, aka No. 43, People reports. The most shocking reveal in TMZ's story about White's contract renewal is that, according to the gossip site's sources, the 66-year-old hadn't received a raise in 18 years. Of course, she has now; sources say her deal includes a "substantial pay increase." She had been making $3 million a year, a far cry from Sajak's $15 million per season, despite the fact that the two seemed to be given equal billing on the show. Sources say White's lawyer, during what were reportedly "very difficult negotiations" with Sony, got Sony to remove a clause from White's contract releasing the studio from any legal claims from White. Sources say her attorney is considering suing Sony for gender discrimination, given the huge discrepancy in pay. White in June also made a new deal to return as host of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, which also reportedly included a significant pay raise, Deadline reports. --- https://news.google.com/ <cite>GoogleNews posted [p:976194384] in For First ...

Damn_Underscore 09/20/23 1:19:07 PM #5:	despite the fact that the two seemed to be given equal billing on the show. How is this true at all? Anyway, Vanna White is one of the GOAT games show personalities of all time, and the last one remaining from the 80s I think (after Pat retires). I hope she stays around awhile --- Yes it's true.

El_Marsh 09/20/23 2:50:29 PM #12:	Given how replaceable her position is (they don't actually need a person to do it, after all), it's probably less a case of her being snubbed and more a case of staying "content" so that she can keep what she has. The only reason that they're even doing it now is because they can't cite "budget" now that the biggest contract is going off the table. --- http://i.imgur.com/0APl48O.gifv Chiefs win! Chiefs win!

I hope she stays around awhile they literally introduce them as the stars of our show, and they come out at the same time.

I mean, I imagine staying in character, keeping her body in condition, and constantly working on the details of her appearance are the difficult parts of the job. Celebrity TV money isn't like a traditional job, though; the amount you're worth isn't really based on what you do so much as how much your show is worth and how integral your identity is to that show, since that's your bargaining power. --- "That is why war is so tragic.

El_Marsh 09/20/23 3:13:58 PM #15:	I mean, the 1980s DOS Wheel of Fortune game didn't have a male host but it very pointedly had a Vanna White character. I'd argue that the only thing more iconic to the show is the Wheel itself, not that Sajak isn't important to the formula. --- http://i.imgur.com/0APl48O.gifv Chiefs win! Chiefs win!
