Vanna White, the beloved game show icon, has recentIy negotiated a pay raise for her role on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, according to a new report. While she remains in talks to continue on the show after Pat Sajak’s departure, her pay for the regular Wheel of Fortune show is still undetermined. The negotiated deal pertains specifically to her invoIvement in Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, a 13-episode spinoff featuring 27 celebrities.
The agreement, reportedly reached through her attorney Bryan Freedman, known for representing high-profiIe figures such as Tucker Carlson and Megyn Kelly, is said to be worth $100,000 per episode.
This amount is considerably lower than the reported $400,000 salary Sajak, aged 76, earned during the show’s first season.
For White, this deaI represents a significant increase from her previous contract, as she had reportedly not received a raise in 18 years. However, the discussions surrounding her payment for the main Wheel of Fortune show, which she helped popuIarize since its debut in 1982, have hit a roadblock.
Currently earning $3 million, just a fifth of Sajak’s salary, White has requested 50 percent of Sajak’s $15 million annual earnings. Negotiations concerning this matter and her potential cut from the $400,000 weekly saIary for Celebrity Wheel of Fortune are still ongoing.
Despite settling on the $100,000 per episode deal for the spinoff, discussions about White’s continued role on the original game show remain unresolved. Sajak is set to retire at the end of the upcoming season, with Ryan Seacrest slated to take over the hosting duties, earning a staggering $28 million per year.
‘We Left. As Did LOTS of the Crowd’: Fans Shame Miranda Lambert for Her Behavior at Montana Festival – What Happened?
Miranda Lambert is facing backlash for her behavior at the Montana Festival. On July 14, a video shared by an attendee shows Lambert reprimanding the crowd during her performance, causing many to leave. Wearing a cowboy hat and denim dress, she addressed the audience sternly, saying, “Are we clear?” and pointing out specific individuals.
One attendee noted, “We left. As did LOTS of the crowd,” while another criticized, “This is terrible.” A TikToker remarked, “Respect your fans more. Without them, you’d be some nobody working at Dairy Queen.”
However, some fans defended her. “Honestly she was amazing. We were right up front and loved every second of it,” one concertgoer praised. Another admirer commented, “She is just brutally honest. Something so many of us lack.”
This isn’t the first time Lambert’s actions have upset fans. At a past Las Vegas concert, she stopped performing “Tin Man” to scold women taking selfies, stating, “These girls are worried about their selfie and not listening to the song, and it’s pissed me off a little bit.”
Social media users have mixed feelings, with some calling her behavior “out of line” and others supporting her no-nonsense attitude.
