First off, let me say I have never watched this show but of course I'm familiar with it... I just don't watch game shows.

There is a story out now that with Pat Sajak retiring Vanna has finally thought it was time she got a raise - she has not had one in 18 years. There is also some talk that she should make equal pay to Pat Sajak (who was making 15M to Vanna's 3M).

Why did she wait so long to advocate for herself? The timing is not good for her because the producers may feel that it's time for a completely new lineup. She might even be shown the door (I hope not for her sake). Her bargaining power would have been far better 10 or 15 years ago.

Does she deserve equal pay to the host? She should probably be making much more than she is after 40 years on the air but it's a very different job. She does have to look good 100% of the time and come across with grace and poise with the occasional byplay with the host.

The host, on the other hand, also has to look good all the time, has to speak on camera, and interact with contestants. A very different job than letter turner.

I wonder why Vanna waited do long?
