The Story Behind Wheel
Wheel of Fortune was created by Merv Griffin in 1975. It was first hosted by Chuck Woolery and Susan Stanford. Then in I think 1980 Susan retired and Vanna White took her place. In 1981 Chuck wanted a pay raise from $300,000 to $500,000 but Merv was only offering him $375,000 and so he walked. Pat Sajak took his place and him and Vanna are still hosting Wheel of Fortune as of this time.
