Pat Sajak’s daughter Maggie is ‘warming up’ for Vanna White gig on ‘Wheel of Fortune’
Host Pat Sajak’s daughter is taking a turn at “Wheel of Fortune.”
Maggie Sajak is gearing up to fill in the big high heels of letter-turner Vanna White for a temporary period.
Maggie, 28, shared on her Instagram Stories Monday that she’s prepping to take the 66-year-old’s place on Wednesday’s episode of “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.”
“Warming up for Wednesday,” she wrote on a clip of herself walking to the iconic electric green game show board. The blond bombshell rocked a bright yellow top and a black leather skirt.
The trivia show episode will feature guests such as “Jeopardy!” hosts Mayim Bialik and Ken Jennings as well as Vanna White competing against each other for the ultimate prize.
In her next IG story, Maggie re-shared a teaser trailer from Bialik, 47, for the episode, and the law school student says: “I hope to make Vanna proud.”
Her father then interjected in the trailer: “I think I’m gonna cry.”
Maggie’s roots run deep in the game show world and has been a part of the “Wheel of Fortune” family since she was a baby.
According to the show’s website, Maggie visited the game show’s set when she was a young girl and she often joined her dad on stage.

She has also been the series’ social correspondent since 2021.
“The Wheel of Fortune staff and crew have always been like an extended family,” Maggie said in a statement about the job at the time.
“And I’m thrilled to be working with them. 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. Plus, I get to use the carpool lane with my father,” she joked.
Maggie has been shooting behind-the-scenes clips and interviews with the show’s staff and contestants as well as sharing them on the show’s website and social media channels.

Wednesday isn’t the first time that the country music singer has taken over White’s job.
In January 2020, when Sajak, 76, was recovering from surgery, White took over as host to fill in for Pat while Maggie made her debut as a letter-turner.
Both Sajak and White have signed on to host “Wheel of Fortune” through the 2023 to 2024 season.
The longtime emcee even claimed recently that he likes to hide in White’s garden at night.
On the May 3 episode, Sajak joked: “So when you’re away from the exciting world of show business, is there a place to go to relax to get away from it all?”

White answered back, saying she loves to spend her free time in her backyard.
“Yeah, my garden in my backyard! It’s peaceful it’s quiet — there’s trees, there’s birds,” she said.
“That’s a nice change of pace,” agreed Sajak. White then inquired her co-host where he likes to spend his downtime.
“Uh, you don’t know this, but it’s actually your garden,” Sajak quipped. “I’m usually there about 2, 3 in the morning. Don’t be alarmed!”
