Wheel of Fortune is back to filming Season 43 of the hit game show. This will be the second season without legendary host Pat Sajak at the helm.
However, the game show still has one Sajak on set. Sajak’s only daughter, Maggie Sajak, returns as Wheel of Fortune’s social media correspondent.
Maggie Sajak Shares Wheel of Fortune Return Ahead of Season 43 Premiere
Taking to Instagram, Sajak teased fans with her return to the Wheel of Fortune set. Looking fabulous as a lady in red, Sajak rocked a short mini dress and a smile to share some behind-the-scenes fun.
Set to Taylor Swift’s hit “You Belong With Me,” the video kicked off with Sajak in the parking lot as she ran to the Wheel of Fortune stage door. Sajak danced her way through the halls before stepping onto the Wheel of Fortune set.
There’s no question Sajak’s thrilled to be at work. She even said as much with the words written across her video. “You look happier,” and “thanks, I am back on set for Season 43,” flashed across the video footage.
“September 8th can’t come soon enough!✨” read the caption on her Instagram share letting fans know the new season will be here in less than two weeks.

The comments were filled with Wheel Watchers ready for the show to return. “Welcome back!!❤️” “Very anxious for season 43!! 😁” and “I’m looking forward to wheel of fortune next month” were some of those fan responses.
What Is Maggie Sajak’s Role on Wheel of Fortune?
In 2021, Sajak became the official social media correspondent for Wheel of Fortune. This position is exactly what it sounds like: Sajak creates digital content and conducts behind-the-scenes interviews for Wheel of Fortune’s social media platforms.
Although she’s focused on her social media job, Sajak filled in for Vanna White when she was a contestant on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune in 2023. The stint gave her a “change of perspective” as she’s not usually in front of the board.

It’s not a surprise that Sajak got involved in the family business. After all, she grew up on the Wheel of Fortune set, watching her dad host for 41 seasons.
When Ryan Seacrest took over as host last year, Sajak stayed on and has been helping keep her father’s game show legacy alive. Sajak’s clearly happy to still be involved with Wheel of Fortune, even without her dad on set.
