I SAID IT 1ST - When Vanna's contract is up at the end of the year. They are going to let her go... She hasn't been need in years and is way over the hill.

[earlthepearl]

Give me her job. I'll do it for half of what she's making.

[dannydanko]

Pat carries the show tho, Vanna doesnt even have to speak til the end and then its just joking aroung or talking to Pat. With that said i was surprised to find out Vanna wasnt making 10 or more million a year, she shouldve negotiated a LONG time ago, shes almost 70 now sheesh.

[donkimble]

Why shouldnt she get same thing sajak gets....!!! Looks like discrimination to me... Ladies deserve same salary as men... We have fought this crap for the past 50 years....

[Mr.Reckless]

A $3 million-a-year salary is not bad for a person who's just a letter-turner.

[MEvans-ttri]

WHY ARE U JUST NOW SPEAKING OUT AFTER 18 YEARS U SHOULD HAVE SAID SOMETHING 15 YEARS

[Dnn]

Hold out for 100% of what that over exposed, over used seabassmouth makes. If I will ever watch, it will be for Vanna.

I understand that Ryan Seacrest will be paid 28 million per year. If he can double Sajak's salary, then Vanna should get at least half.

[stringerbell]

They gonna let her walk and get some younger look. But Ryan Seacrest is Gawd awful 😖 ... Kelly Ripper said it

[rachelgz]

Only HALF?! She deserves the SAME PAY!!

[billm]

Let her walk. Pat is gone...she needs to go too. Not going to get younger viewers with grandma on the stage.

[freddiemac]

I think it's time for Vanna to retire. She had an amazing and successful career on wheel of fortune. She should enjoy retirement.

Vanna white is 66 years old. Shes been on the show for 40 years. She hasn't gotten a raise in nearly two decades. When you hear Wheel of Fortune, you always think Pat Sajak and Vanna White. We don't know how long Pat will stay. We also don't know who the next host will be. And it may be her with her daughter changing the tiles. I would pay her atleast we know where this is going.

[edwardharris]

The number one advocate for wage equity for Vanna White should've been be Pat Sajak a decades ago. It makes me wonder how he treats her when the cameras are off.

[debbiebasche]

18 yrs with no raise ?! Vanna deserves it !!

[richardhernandez]

Pay Vanna 5 million for 1 year. Throw her a retirement party the following year. Then, replace Vanna with Maggie Sajak starting with a beginning base salary of 3 million, followed by performance bonuses. How's that?

[rhondennis]

No raise, please. Who actually believes that?

[amostlyreasonableguy]

Yeah, only making 54 million dollars over the last 18 years. She’s been truly bamboozled.

[excitingtimes-hhbu]

She would deserve if she was a teacher, a fireman, a policeman, or someone who really contributes to society!

Why wait for Seacrest.. This is not the time. Keep your laundry private. 🎉 Good luck.
