Wheel of Fortune’s Maggie Sajak swipes Vanna White's signature move in new video as fans say Pat's daughter should host

Jun 11, 2024

WHEEL of Fortune social media correspondent Maggie Sajak has disclosed that she's torn between two of the biggest movies that hit theaters this summer.

Maggie's newest post on Instagram was a video of her exhibiting the ensembles she would wear to the premiere of the movies Barbie and Oppenheimer.

The 28-year-old's clip began with her walking into the frame from the side, wearing a black sleeveless blazer and a lengthy pleated black skirt.

Behind her was a stage curtain that matched the color of her get-up.

Maggie turned over her shoulder in front of the curtain, and in the blink of an eye, she was sporting a form-fitting bright pink one-sleeve dress with a thigh slit.

Her bubblegum-hued gown heavily resembled the style of dresses that Wheel of Fortune personality Vanna White, 66, dons on the game show.

Also, how Maggie pushed the black curtain to unveil a pink one, much like Vanna does when revealing the program's letter board, proved that she was imitating Vanna.

She even mimicked the hands-on-hips pose that Vanna tends to do after she's finished presenting.

Maggie joked that the outfit represented what she'd sport when she went to see Barbie and Oppenheimer - the pink look was obviously for Barbie.

"Me walking straight from Oppenheimer to Barbie...Which new movie matches your vibe?? #barbenheimer," she captioned.

Fans inundated the social media personality's comment section with tons of accolades, as they have done under her past posts.

Late last month, Maggie's fans went wild after she shared photos of herself looking similar to the toy doll Barbie on Instagram.

The two selfies on Maggie's carousel post showed her smiling and smizing.

Everything about each photo was identical, except for the minimal change in her facial expression.

Maggie's bouncy voluminous hair cascaded glamorously around her face as if a wind machine blew it into the perfect position.

Her earrings peaked through her long middle-parted blonde tresses.

Fans praised Maggie's photos for being gorgeous and beautiful.

One fan complimented: "You are very sweet and very gorgeous Maggie."

Other fans were just interested in whether or not she'd get promoted from her current position as a social media correspondent on Wheel of Fortune to a host in 2024.

"Hi Maggie. Is the old man gonna let you take his spot next year?," one fan questioned.

Another suggested: "WOW-WEE!!! I hope you take your dad’s place on Wheel of Fortune. I’ll watch it every night!"

Pat Sajak, 76, revealed that he wouldn't return to host the game show next year because he's decided to retire in June 2024.

The game show legend began hosting in 1981 and has done so with Vanna for the last 40 years.

The major news for Wheel of Fortune came after the season finale of Season 40 which aired on Friday, June 9.

The following Monday, June 13, 2023, as no new episode aired, Pat dropped the announcement when the show would air in many affiliates (7 p.m. ET).

The TV stalwart tweeted: "Well, the time has come. I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last.

"It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all."

Pat will host until June 2024, at which point he will step down.

Near the end of June, Wheel of Fortune announced via Instagram that American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, 48, would take over for host Pat at the end of next season.

With a glammed-up photo of the TV personality, the caption stated: "It’s official! Starting in 2024, Ryan Seacrest will take the stage as the new host of Wheel of Fortune.

"We're so excited - Welcome Ryan!"

Ryan also shared a lengthy statement on social media and confirmed co-host Vanna will remain on the puzzle board in September 2024.

The TV star said: "I'm truly humbled to be stepping into the footsteps of the legendary Pat Sajak.

"I can say, along with the rest of America, that it's been a privilege and pure joy to watch Pat and Vanna on our television screens for an unprecedented 40 years."

Ryan concluded: "I can't wait to continue the tradition of spinning the wheel and working alongside the great Vanna White."
