"Wheel of Fortune" fans seem to love Pat Sajak's daughter Maggie so much that they want her to have a regular role on the popular game show. Last month, Pat announced his plan to retire after the upcoming season, marking an end to 42 years of hosting the show. Weeks later, Ryan Seacrest was officially named as his replacement, but judging by several comments on social media, fans believe the job should have gone to a more familiar face.

Vanna White has signed a new deal to return as host of ABC’s Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, which involves a significant salary increase, we hear.

It appears that Vanna White is one step closer to securing a deal to stay on Wheel of Fortune.

“lawyered up” White, 66, has reportedly negotiated her salary deal with “Wheel of Fortune” — but only for the celebrity competition, not the daily syndicated show.According to TMZ, Sony Pictures has made it clear that they’re not going to be flexible when it comes to her demands.White’s lawyer, Bryan Friedman, negotiated the deal for “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune,” sources told the outlet. The letter-turner’s gig on “Celebrity” was reportedly up, while she still has one more year in her contract for syndication, so Friedman addressed the more urgent matter to start.The negotiations for White’s salary for the syndicated show have been put on pause due to the writers’ strike.It’s previously been reported that White wanted to make at least half of what Pat Sajak has been making, which Friedman allegedly relayed to Sony, but they wouldn’t disclose how much Sajak makes for “Celebrity WoF.”TMZ claims that Sajak, 76, makes just upward of $400,000 per episode for the celebrity competition, while White settled for $100,000 per episode in her new deal — a “meaningful bump” from her previous contract.The outlet previously confirmed that White’s salary is $3 million a year — and that she hasn’t gotten a single pay increase for the last 18 years.

Daniel D'Addario Chief TV Critic In my earliest years, the evening didn’t end until Vanna White said good night. I was in one of the parts of America where “Wheel of Fortune” comes on after “Jeopardy!” (the only proper order — a roughage-filled meal, then dessert). And I’d insist on staying up past the last ad break to hear the chat between White and “Wheel” host Pat Sajak for 45 seconds or so, wrapping on a sincere-sounding sendoff that gave me the all-clear to trundle up the stairs. Why did I have to wait for the last moments with Vanna? Well, part of it was a child’s literalism: she hadn’t said good night, so it wasn’t yet that time. But part, too, was an attempt to wring out every last moment of White’s particular charm from “Wheel’s” half-hour. White — perhaps even more than Sajak, a consummate emcee of the old school — seemed to represent in one person what “Wheel” was all about. A model for an endless array of spectacular gowns and an ornament on a show whose gameplay didn’t strictly require a letter-turner as technology improved, she represented all the glamour and luxurious promise of cash prizes, free vacations and the gilded sunlight of California. And yet presenting in complete earnest, from her glee or sorrow for a contestant who won the game or who bought the wrong vowel to her utter commitment to trading pleasantries with Sajak, she was a fabulous contradiction — a quintessentially middle-American celebrity.

Vanna White isn’t impressed with how Wheel of Fortune is shaping up post-Pat Sajak.

Vanna White‘s supposed disappointment just keeps on turning. The 66-year-old “Wheel of Fortune” letter-tumbler reportedly feels like the producers have a “lack of respect” for her.A source told the Daily Mail that the game show bosses also think she’s “replaceable.”The news comes just weeks after host Pat Sajak announced his retirement after over 40 years.Ryan Seacrest was quickly announced as the replacement for Sajak, 76, which apparently led to some skepticism on White’s part.The insider alleged that she feels “disappointed” because the show’s heads “didn’t give her more of a chance to take over Pat’s job, or that she wasn’t able to give her two cents on the replacement.”White seemed to be blindsided by Seacrest’s host announcement.However, she still “respects” the “American Idol” alum, 48, and is “happy to work with him.”“But it just shows a lack of respect in her eyes that they have for her,” the source claimed.

wheel-y grateful for his time on “Wheel of Fortune” — even though Ryan Seacrest is taking his place soon.On Thursday, Sajak, 76, paid tribute to Merv Griffin, the creator of “Wheel of Fortune,” on what would have been his birthday, and thanked the presenter for taking a chance on him all those years ago.“Merv Griffin, the creator of ‘Wheel of Fortune,’ was born on this date in 1925,” Sajak wrote on Twitter.“I owe the man so much,” the message continued. “He absolutely defied network executives by insisting on hiring an unknown local TV weatherman to take over his show in 1981.

she’s lawyered up and is asking for a raise for her role on “Wheel of Fortune.” Last week, Ryan Seacrest was named as the new host of “Wheel of Fortune” and is set to take over after Pat Sajak retires next year — while there’s still no word on White’s status.“Vanna, you got a sweet situation right now,” Jordan told TMZ on Monday. “Don’t mess it up, but at the same time, get a little extra money because if they’re bringing Ryan Seacrest in, we all know Ryan Seacrest is about that coin.

amid reports the longtime “Wheel of Fortune” letter-turner is holding out for half of retiring host Pat Sajak’s reported $15 million salary. According to Puck News, White, 66, hasn’t received a raise in the last 18 years — just bonuses.

This is bound to get everyone’s blood boiling!!!

announced that Ryan Seacrest — whom Cohen derided on live television two years ago — would be Pat Sajak’s replacement when he retires from “Wheel of Fortune” next year.“Seemed like it was gonna happen,” Cohen said about Seacrest’s new gig in a TikTok video interview captured by comedian and street journalist Adam Glyn.Glyn then asked Cohen if he had gotten a phone call from the ABC network to take the gig.“No, no, no, no, no, no,” Cohen said with a chuckle in response. “No, by the way, I have eight jobs including the best show job on television at Bravo, so I’m booked and blessed.”But Glyn continued to press Cohen, asking him, “Do you feel like you’re actually sometimes considered a late-night host, like, in that group?
