According to a report from Puck News, White, 66, hired an attorney last week amid claims that she had not had a pay raise in nearly two decades. The report claimed that White, who has been turning the iconic letters since 1982, has been stalled at $3 million per year for the last 18 years – occasionally receiving bonuses rather than pay raises. Sajak, in contrast, pulled in $15 million annually for hosting the show – according to a Forbes report published in 2016.

White hired attorney Bryan Freedman, known for his aggressive representation of television personalities against their respective networks. Freedman made headlines recently when he was reportedly hired to represent ousted cable news hosts Tucker Carlson and Don Lemon against Fox News and CNN, respectively.

White’s contract is up at the end of the 2023-2024 season, and Freedman is expected to “hit the pay discrepancy issue hard … as well as possible gender discrimination with respect to White’s salary” if Sony Pictures wants to keep her on the show.

reminds me of an old story thats been told several ways.....

a heart surgeon is picking up his ride from the shop. the mechanic says, "hey Doc, I guess we're in the same business. You rebuild hearts and I rebuild engines. Except I get $3500.00 and you get $35,000.00".... The doctor said, "well, yeah, but can you rebuild the motor while its running?"

anyway, Vanna's contract is up, Sajak is retiring, Fancypants Seacrest is moving in and Whoopie will be the letter turner as soon as she shows proficiency in the alphabet, and get an electric scooter.

I feel sorry for anyone who only makes $3 Million dollars a year for turning letters and looking good.
How does she earn those bonus's?

$3 Million bucks a year . Why does she wait for 20 years before bringing this up?
She was probably afraid if she asked for a raise they would find a new letter turner, so she waits until her number is just about up and starts whining.

I am surprised she wasn't let go long ago. In the beginning she was actually needed and actually did something. Now it is just for show. A human isn't needed to "turn" the letters.
