Vanna White may not be letting go of the wheel just yet…
The 66-year-old half-Puerto Rican television personality and game show letter-turner is currently in negotiations with Wheel of Fortune leadership to stay on the long-running game show after Pat Sajak‘s impending retirement, according to EW.
At this point no deal has been reached, and everything is still up in the air.
White, like Sajak, has been a part of Wheel of Fortune for more than four decades, and her future with the show has been unclear in the wake of Sajak’s announcement earlier this month that he’s retiring at the end of the show’s upcoming 41st season.
According to Puck, which first reported the news, White is seeking a raise after not receiving a pay increase in 18 years, though she has received some bonuses in that time.
She reportedly makes about $3 million a year, while Sajak makes nearly five times that much.
When Sajak announced his retirement, he said that “the time has come” and added, “It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months.” He’ll remain on board as consultant to the show for three years.
Last year, White admitted that she struggled to imagine Wheel of Foirtune with different cohosts.
“Everybody relates Wheel of Fortune to Pat and Vanna. We’re like Ken and Barbie, you know?” she told PEOPLE. “We’ve been in everybody’s homes for 40 years, so it would be weird having somebody else turn my letters.”
She added that she couldn’t really fathom doing the show without Sajak at her side.
“We’re a team,” White said. “That’s depressing. I don’t even want to think about it.”
