Wheel of Fortune has been a mainstay of American television for more than 40 years, thanks in no small part to its dynamic duo of hosts: Pat Sajak and (the far more fabulous) Vanna White.
Just two weeks ago, Sajak announced he’ll be retiring in 2024, leaving his position as host up for grabs. Most fans assumed White would be his natural successor, having been synonymous with Wheel of Fortune just as long as Sajak.
But alas, the show had different ideas, and on Tuesday, it was announced that American Idol host Ryan Seacrest would be taking Sajak’s place.Snubbing White for Sajak’s job is one thing.
But the situation revealed a far more glaring injustice against White: she hasn’t gotten a raise… in 18 years!Apparently, White’s salary has stagnated at $3 million a year for nearly two decades.
