Ryan Seacrest's dream of hosting with Vanna White is finally coming true after it was announced that White, 66, extended her contract with "Wheel of Fortune" through 2026.

According to TMZ, White got a "substantial pay increase" with the deal.

Incoming "Wheel of Fortune" host Ryan Seacrest revealed last week that he hoped to work with her on the ABC show.

"I love Vanna White," Seacrest, 48, told Fortune Magazine. ..... 

White - who makes $3 million a season - had reportedly been seeking a raise from the show's producers, claiming that she only received bonuses for the last 18 years.

She reportedly "lawyered up" and was asking for half of current host Pat Sajak's $15 million a year salary.

"After 41 years as a model employee and more the face of that show than [Pat], asking for 50% of what he makes seems like a no-brainer," a source close to White told TMZ.

The insider also claimed that Sony had been "very difficult" amid the discussions.

White's sudden decision to lawyer up came after a source told the Daily Mail that she feared being let go from the series after Sajak's upcoming exit.

"The next year is going to be quite the ride and Vanna wants to be a part of it all even after he leaves, and she hopes they don't force her out," a source close to White told the outlet.

The source later stated that White - despite being temporarily replaced - had no desire to leave the long-running show despite her initial contract ending in 2024.

"Vanna doesn't want to leave 'Wheel of Fortune' even after Pat's announcement of retirement, and she would highly consider taking over his role as host on the show," the anonymous source claimed.

Appearing on "Good Morning America" on Monday, Seacrest enthusiastically told anchors Robin Roberts and George Stephanopoulos how excited he was to take over for Sajak for when he retires in 2024.

"Pat is a legend, but coming in there and give a lot of money to these contestants really is the best part of the whole thing," gushed Seacrest.

The “American Idol” judge has even already started practicing in front of his dog.

"I'm shouting out the puzzles and my dog is staring at me," laughed the host. "I'm also practicing the hosting part in my living room just to make sure I have the rules down."

Seacrest's comments came mere days after the first episode of Sajak's final season was interrupted by the pregame show for Monday night football ahead of the Buffalo Bills vs. New York Jets game.

Sajak, 76, announced in June that his final spin at the syndicated game show would conclude with the show's 41st season.

"Well, the time has come. I've decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last, the game show host tweeted. "It's been a wonderful ride, and I'll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all. (If nothing else, it'll keep the clickbait sites busy!)"

Sajak has hosted “Wheel” since 1981, while his trusty letter-turner White joined the show a year later.

Seacrest - in! Ryan Seacrest will soon be working alongside Vanna White on "Wheel of Fortune" - and he's ready.

"This is such great news," Seacrest, 48, told Willie Geist in a pre-taped sneak peek of "Sunday Today With Willie Geist," which aired on TODAY Wednesday.

"Vanna has been such a staple on that show and in our living rooms for so many years," he continued. "I have been very excited to work with her, but now that it's official I can say, ‘Congratulations Vanna! I can't wait.'"

Hours earlier, White's contract renewal was officially confirmed following months of negotiations. According to TMZ, White, 66, locked in a "substantial pay increase" and her contract is now through 20 ..... 

Seacrest won't be joining the ABC game show until current host Pat Sajek steps down in 2024. He announced his upcoming retirement in June.

For Seacrest, it's "super important" to have vet White when he makes his debut.

"She's beloved by this country and by the viewers and I can't even imagine standing next to her on that set being able to say, ‘Okay, let's get to it.' It's great news," he told Geist. "I'm very, very happy to hear it and very happy I'll be able to work with her."

He joked that White will be his go-to for advice. "Vanna, please tell me what to do!" the “American Idol” host teased. "I can say, ‘How does this work? Where do we go now? What's next? Okay, got it.'"

Seacrest officially ended his run on "Live with Kelly and Ryan" after six seasons in April. Kelly Ripa's husband, frequent guest host Mark Consuelos, replaced him behind the table.

Vanna White recently extended her co-host 'Wheel of Fortune' contract through the 2025-26 season.

In a pre-taped clip from "Sunday Today With Willie Geist," Seacrest shares that he's thrilled with White's return.

"This is such great news," the new "Wheel of Fortune" co-host began. ..... 

On Tuesday, Fox News Digital confirmed that White has extended her contract with "Wheel of Fortune" for two years as longtime host Pat Sajak prepares to leave in 2024.

White signed a two-year contract extension as co-host of the popular game show through the 2025-26 season as Seacrest will take over for Sajak in fall 2024, according to a statement provided to Fox News Digital.

Terms of White's new contract were not disclosed.

According to Seacrest, it was "super important" important that White remained as co-host of the popular game show.

 ..... It's great news," he said. ..... 

Seacrest shared with Geist that he will be turning to White for advice when he steps into the co-host role.

"Vanna, please tell me what to do!" Seacrest said. ..... 

Before Seacrest became a household name, he found a mentor in broadcasting legend Dick Clark, who helped propel his career from standing on the sidelines to shining in the spotlight.

Seacrest not only hosts multiple shows across a variety of platforms, he also works behind the scenes as a producer on some of the biggest television shows.

Pat Sajak announced his retirement from “Wheel” in June after hosting since 1981. The program first premiered in 1975 with Chuck Woolery and Susan Stafford.

"As previously announced, Wheel of Fortune's Season 41, which kicked off this past week, will be the last for host Pat Sajak," the statement announcing the show's 41st season said.

"The show will celebrate the 41-derful seasons with him at the helm. Co-host Vanna White has extended her contract for an additional two years, keeping her revealing letters at the iconic puzzleboard through the 2025-2026 season."

White became Sajak's regular co-host in December 1982 after Stafford left the show months before.
