As a gamer who has grown up watching Wheel of Fortune, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia and excitement whenever I think about Maggie Sajak potentially taking over from Vanna White. Having been surrounded by the show since birth, it seems only fitting that she would one day become an integral part of the Wheel family.
Growing up on the Wheel of Fortune set was like a second home to me, given my dad, Pat Sajak, has been the charismatic host for over four decades. Now, as an adult, I’m part of the team myself, serving as the show’s social correspondent. Could there be bigger opportunities ahead? For years, whispers have suggested that I might eventually step into Vanna White’s shoes and take on the role of co-host and letter-turner. Honestly, it seems like a natural progression given my family ties and love for the game!
The speculation over Maggie Sajak eventually taking over for Vanna White certainly hasn’t stopped since Pat Sajak officially took his leave from one of the best game shows of all time. In fact, if anything, the murmurings have only gotten stronger, thanks in part to Maggie and Vanna’s social media activity. Take this Instagram post:

The game show Wheel of Fortune seems to emphasize the resemblance between Maggie Sajak and Vanna White, noting their striking physical likeness. It’s almost as if Vanna is Maggie’s sister! Is Wheel subtly suggesting its future or merely appealing to viewers who have missed Pat Sajak since seeing Ryan Seacrest as the new host? Whatever the reason for keeping the Sajak family connection so prominent on Wheel of Fortune, it’s effective, as Maggie’s Instagram posts are flooded with comments such as:
- Are you going to take Vanna space when she retires? You would make a perfect one – littlemisss71
- Do it Vanna, pass the letter turning torch to Maggie cause Ryan is going to be a Royal Pain in Your Backside.😊😊😊 love ya and if you decide to do what Pat did I will forever ♥️ miss you.😊😊😊 – christopho621
- Please start turning those letters we need to see u daily on TV let’s go – lassaad0607
- I hope you’re the next letter revealer, Maggie! – chrisriouxartist
- Hey Maggie, I think you’re very pretty and would be a perfect replacement for Vanna when she steps off the show. Hope your dad is doing well. – merrickthedesignerandfoodie
Some viewers speculate that “Wheel of Fortune” may have subtly foreshadowed a future change, as Pat Sajak’s daughter and Vanna White exchanged identical “Hi Barbie!” greetings on set. The strongest indication that Maggie Sajak might assume the letter-turning role is her previous experience standing in for White, such as when she filled in during White’s competition on “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune” against Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik from “Jeopardy!”.
Vanna White endorses the idea, commenting that given Maggie Sajal’s long-standing connection to the set, she could be an excellent choice as a replacement.
Time alone can reveal the fate of Vanna White’s position once she departs, however, I must confess that the speculation about Maggie Sajak seems somewhat plausible compared to the idea of Kim Kardashian taking over on ‘Wheel of Fortune’.
Don’t forget to catch the debut of Wheel of Fortune’s season 42 on Monday, 9th September. Look up your local listings for the specific time and channel.
