Vanna White is in the middle of contract negotiations for Wheel of Fortune and fans are going to be upset when they learn how she’s allegedly being treated.

"Jeopardy!" champion James Holzhauer is never one to shy away from sharing his feelings, and that holds true with his thoughts on the new host of "Wheel of Fortune." Earlier this week, it was announced that Ryan Seacrest was officially taking over hosting duties on the popular game show after Pat Sajak finishes filming the upcoming season, and Holzhauer joked that they should have taken notes from "Jeopardy!". "Wheel of Fortune went about this all wrong," he wrote on Twitter. "First you subject the contestants and viewers to an endless parade of temps who don’t prepare before hosting," he continued.

own wheel of fortune.A “lawyered up” White, 66, won’t continue her long run on “Wheel of Fortune” unless she makes at least half of what Pat Sajak has been making, according to a new report from TMZ.“After 41 years as a model employee and more the face of that show than [Pat], asking for 50% of what he makes seems like a no-brainer,” a source close to White told the outlet.Sajak, 76, has hosted “Wheel” since 1981, while White joined the show a year later as the iconic letter-turner.Amid Sajak’s retirement, Seacrest has been named the new host of “Wheel of Fortune,” The Post confirmed Tuesday.But while Seacrest said he “can’t wait to continue the tradition of spinning the wheel and working alongside the great Vanna White,” it remains unclear if White will join Seacrest, salary depending.Sources told TMZ that White is negotiating for the pay disparity between her and Sajak to be addressed considering they are essentially co-hosts of the beloved game show. In fact, they are even introduced on the show as equals: “Here are the stars of our show, Pat Sajak and Vanna White.”TMZ also 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.Since 2005, White has received only bonuses, not raises, according to Puck News.Meanwhile, Sajak reportedly makes about $15 million a year — five times the amount as his counterpart.
