This is about to change, though, as Pat is planning to retire from Wheel of Fortune at the conclusion of the 2023-24 season, which is set to begin in September.

In his statement about the new job, Ryan indicated Vanna will stay on as his co-host.
Amid the lineup changes on Wheel of Fortune, Puck reported last week that Vanna hasn't received a raise in 18 years for her role on the syndicated game show and is in negotiations on her deal, which is apparently set to end after the upcoming season.

Vanna and Pat also co-host Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, which is not syndicated.
The report did note that Vanna has received bonuses "but never a straight pay increase."

According to Puck, Vanna makes "about $3 million a year," though Pat makes "almost fives times as much."

Puck did not state specifically how much Pat makes for Wheel of Fortune.
Vanna has reportedly hired Bryan Freedman, a lawyer who has previously represented Tucker Carlson and Chris Cuomo, to help broker a new deal.
