Maggie Sajak is famously known as Mat Sajak's daughter, but she is a star in her own right, with several accomplishments under her belt.

Many have seen her on television, particularly in the long-running game show series "Wheel of Fortune", where she started as Vanna White's replacement for turning letters.

She is now a fixture on the show as a social correspondent. "I'm excited about the opportunity to bring an insider's look at the show with new behind-the-scenes features, interviews, videos, and insights", she said. Maggie also added:

"The 'Wheel of Fortune staff and crew have always been like an extended family, and I'm thrilled to be working with them."

Maggie is Pat's daughter with his wife, Lesly Brown Sajak. However, the young star is close to her stepmother.

Maggie Was Just a Toddler When She First Appeared on 'Wheel of Fortune'

Although she only became a regular on the show in recent years, Maggie has already stepped on the "Wheel of Fortune" set years ago at only one year old. Back then, Pat brought his little girl to work and introduced her to White.

Maggie was an instant hit with the audience, who fell in love with her giggle and off-balance stance then. It wasn't until 2020 that she stepped in as the letter-turner while Pat left to recover from a medical procedure.

Maggie Sajak Has Many Talents

Besides her on-screen career, Maggie also pursued different crafts, including her real passion, music. She was only 12 when she started playing the guitar and writing songs. In 2011, Maggie released her debut single, "First Kiss", with a music video directed by CMT Award winner Trey Fanjoy.

The Maryland native's career eventually bloomed as more of her tracks were released. Maggie now has her songs featured on Apple music.

Maggie also had an interest in fashion and appeared in Teen Vogue's "Get Schooled in Fall's Smartest Denim" segment in 2013, where she shared her favorite denim pieces.

Although she already seems to have a budding career, Maggie is still pursuing another degree. After graduating from Princeton University and earning a postgraduate program at Columbia University, she is now attending law school.

Vanna White Gave Maggie a Tutorial at Letter Turning

Maggie is undoubtedly a role model to many. However, she does her job excellently with help from those around her, including White. Previously, Maggie revealed that White gave her a tutorial for turning letters in the game show.

"She gave me a little tutorial, like on our refrigerator, of how to press the letters and how hard to press them and all of that," Maggie said. "She was so gracious in teaching me, and you know, she had a big job to do that week, too, filling in for my dad."

Ultimately, Maggie did a fantastic job and left her father proud. It was undoubtedly a difficult situation filling in big shoes, but with the duo's teamwork, everything paid off.

Maggie's Brother Patrick Is a Doctor

Maggie isn't the only one who is making her father proud. Her brother, Patrick Michael Sajak, is also pursuing his career path in the medical field. In May 2021, Patrick officially became a doctor.

According to his father, Patrick insisted he is called "Dr. Sajak" moving forward. "Lesly and I couldn't be prouder", Pat said during a "Wheel of Fortune" episode.

Although Patrick remains a private person with no known social media presence, he sometimes appears on Maggie's Instagram posts.
