5/9/2023 Culver City, CA – Maggie Sajak, the daughter of Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak, will be turning letters for the second time on the show this Wednesday in place of Vanna White, who will be competing in that days’ Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. Sources say that Maggie was chosen by her father without any audition or competition, and that many other qualified candidates were overlooked.
“Here we go again. It’s a clear case of nepotism,” said one disgruntled worker, who wished to remain anonymous. “She probably doesn’t even know the alphabet. I’ve been working here for 10 years as a camera operator, and I’ve always dreamed of turning those letters. But I guess it doesn’t matter how hard you work or how talented you are, if you don’t have the right connections.”
Another worker, who also requested anonymity, expressed similar frustration. “I think it’s unfair and disrespectful to Vanna, who has been doing this job for decades. She deserves better than to be replaced by some spoiled brat who only got the gig because of her daddy. I mean, what’s next? Is Pat going to make his son the next host? Is he going to rename the show ‘Sajak of Fortune’?”
Some fans of the show also expressed their dissatisfaction with the decision on social media and were quick to roast Maggie’s upcoming appearance, using hashtags like #NepotismOfFortune, #WheelOfFavoritism, and #MaggieGoHome.
“Who does Pat Sajak think he is?” said one anonymous source. “He can’t just hand over his daughter the most coveted job in television. She has little experience, no charisma, no talent. She’s just a pretty face with a famous last name. It’s an insult to Vanna and to the viewers.”
“This is ridiculous. Maggie Sajak is not a letter-turner. She is a singer. She should stick to what she knows and leave the wheel alone,” tweeted @WheelWatcher69.
“Wow, I can’t wait to see Maggie Sajak turn letters on Wheel of Fortune. I’m sure she will do a great job. Just like her dad does at hosting. And spelling. And being funny. And not annoying,” posted @SarcasmQueen on Facebook.
Some of the most popular tweets were:
– “@PatSajak: Proud to announce that my daughter Maggie will be turning letters on Wheel of Fortune this Wednesday. Tune in and support her! #ProudDad”
– “@WheelWatcher: @PatSajak More like #ShamelessDad. How about giving someone else a chance? #NepotismOfFortune”
– “@MaggieHater: @PatSajak Your daughter is a joke. She can’t even spell ‘wheel’. #MaggieGoHome”
Maggie Sajak, who is a country singer, defended her decision to accept the offer posting a photo of herself smiling next the wheel, “I’m honored and excited to be part of this iconic show,” she said. “I grew up watching my dad and Vanna, and I have nothing but respect and admiration for them. I hope to do them proud and have some fun along the way.” #DreamComeTrue
Pat Sajak said he was proud of his daughter and confident in her abilities. “She’s a smart and talented young woman, and I think she’ll do a great job,” he said. “Besides, it’s not like it’s rocket science. You just touch the screen and the letter lights up. Anyone can do it.”
The episode featuring Maggie Sajak will air on Wednesday at 7 p.m. ET on NBC.
