Maggie Sajak can always lean on Vanna White, especially when it comes to “Wheel of Fortune.” No one knows the puzzle board on the famous game show better than White. So, when Maggie had to step in for the co-host, she looked to her for some advice.
In 2020, the “Wheel of Fortune” family had a brief health scare after host Pat Sajak had to undergo emergency surgery, per CBS. However, even with Pat missing, the show went on. The network decided to have White host in the meantime, and have Maggie step in for White’s role. Leading up to the show, Maggie got some great advice from the expert herself. Maggie told Yahoo!, “So Vanna actually came over to our house the night before we were going to tape. And she was like, okay, so you just walk along the puzzle board. And she gave me a little tutorial on our refrigerator of how to press the letters, and how hard to press, and all of that.” While this may have been the first time Maggie stepped in for White, it wouldn’t be the last.
Maggie took on the letter board once more in 2023 after White was set to be a contestant on the show, per Yahoo!. Now that she was a little more familiar with how everything worked, Maggie was prepared to take on the job.
