<p>&#8220;Wheel of Fortune&#8221; has <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/new-host-chosen-to-succeed-pat-sajak-on-wheel-of-fortune" target="_blank" rel="noopener">chosen a new host</a> – &#8220;American Idol&#8221; alum Ryan Seacrest, according to a Tuesday statement from Sony – but outgoing host Pat Sajak&#8217;s longtime letter-turner Vanna White, 66, may or may not be ready to join him.</p>
<p>According to a <a href="https://puck.news/vanna-white-would-like-a-raise/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> from Puck News, White, 66, hired an attorney last week amid claims that she had not had a pay raise in nearly two decades. The report claimed that White, who has been turning the iconic letters since 1982, has been stalled at $3 million per year for the last 18 years – occasionally receiving bonuses rather than pay raises. Sajak, in contrast, pulled in $15 million annually for hosting the show – according to a Forbes <a href="https://www.forbes.com/sites/natalierobehmed/2016/10/06/the-worlds-highest-paid-tv-show-hosts-dr-phil-leads-with-88-million/?sh=74425167343b" target="_blank" rel="noopener">report</a> published in 2016.</p>
<p>White hired attorney Bryan Freedman, known for his aggressive representation of television personalities against their respective networks. Freedman <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/2023/04/25/business/media/carlson-lemon-lawyer-freedman.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made headlines</a> recently when he was reportedly hired to represent <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/tucker-carlson-and-don-lemon-hire-the-same-attorney-after-both-were-fired-report" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ousted cable news hosts</a> Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon against Fox News and CNN, respectively.</p>
<p>White&#8217;s contract is up at the end of the 2023-2024 season, and Freedman is expected to &#8220;hit the pay discrepancy issue hard &#8230; as well as possible gender discrimination with respect to White’s salary&#8221; if Sony Pictures wants to keep her on the show.</p>
<p>White has not yet commented on Seacrest&#8217;s announcement, but the the former &#8220;Live with Kelly and Ryan&#8221; host made it clear that he was looking forward to the new gig.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m truly humbled to be stepping into the footsteps of the legendary Pat Sajak. I can say, along with the rest of America, that it’s been a privilege and pure joy to watch Pat and Vanna on our television screens for an unprecedented 40 years, making us smile every night and feel right at home with them,&#8221; Seacrest said in a statement.</p>

<p>&#8220;Pat, I love the way you’ve always celebrated the contestants and made viewers at home feel at ease. I look forward to learning everything I can from you during this transition,&#8221; he added. &#8220;I can’t wait to continue the tradition of spinning the wheel and working alongside the great Vanna White.&#8221;</p>
