During a January 2020 episode of “Wheel of Fortune,” Maggie Sajak came on the show, filling in as a letter toucher. But while this might have been her first appearance as an adult, Maggie made her debut on “Wheel of Fortune” in 1996 when Pat brought her to the show. “I’m walking a little better now, and hopefully I’m a little more eloquent than last time,” Maggie quipped, referring to her debut appearance.
In 2021, Maggie became a more permanent member of the “Wheel of Fortune” family after she was hired as the gameshow’s official social correspondent. In her role, Maggie gave fans a better glimpse of the show by sharing exclusive videos across the show’s social channels. “It’s a real privilege to be able to treat the show’s longtime viewers to a look at what goes on when the cameras aren’t rolling,” Maggie said in a statement at the time. “Plus, I get to use the carpool lane with my father!”
Two years later and Maggie is stepping into a much bigger role. On May 10, the 28-year-old made her debut as co-host of “Wheel of Fortune” as she serves as a temporary replacement for Vanna White, her father’s longtime partner on the show. “I’m so happy and I have some iconic high heels to fill … I hope to make Vanna proud,” Maggie gushed, per Fox News.
