Vanna White feels like a ‘third wheel’ now that ‘control freak’ Ryan Seacrest is the host
Wheel of Fortune’s Vanna White reportedly feels like a ‘third wheel’ during Ryan Seacrest’s brand new tenure as host of the iconic game show.
This doesn’t come as a major shock to fans, as she noted: “I thought maybe I should retire, too,” when her co-host of 40 plus years stepped away from the stage.
“But Ryan is a control freak,” the source claimed. “He finally told her he’s doing things his way and he’s not trying to be Pat Sajak!”
“So Vanna is again relegated to the background, but now it’s not with Pat, someone she knows and loves, but a new guy, Ryan.”
“It’s not that she doesn’t like Ryan, but her chemistry with Pat was just much more natural,” the source said: “With Ryan, it feels forced and she doesn’t want that to come across to loyal viewers — and producers fear the audience will notice it as well.”
Money is also an alleged issue for the leading woman of the fan-favorite ABC gameshow.
The seasoned star reportedly went 18 years without a raise in her salary before she fought for a new deal last year that nearly doubled her former $3 million salary.
Because that number is nothing compared to what Seacrest, 49, is bringing in, which is said to be upwards of $28 million, Vanna may be eyeing the exit before then.
