Wheel wants to make the transition between Pat and Ryan seamless and having Vanna there would be wonderful to make that all happen. According to a new report, the powers that be have doubled down on wanting White to return to show for Ryan Seacrest’s transition, but they’re also allegedly looking further into the future with her negotiations. Wheel of Fortune pushed back on this, which the co-host of 41 years reportedly saw as a sign of disrespect.
It was reported earlier this summer that Vanna White had lawyered up in order to renegotiate her contract to include her first traditional pay raise in 18 years.
