MAGGIE Sajak has fans thinking she’s ready to take over as co-host of Wheel of Fortune after posing for photos with her famous dad, Pat and Vanna White.

Fans previously called for Maggie, 29, to replace Vanna, 66, on the long-running game show following her father’s retirement.

On Friday, Maggie made her co-hosting abilities more apparent when she shared a photo of the trio on set on Instagram.

She stood in the middle, sporting a skintight black top, black high-waisted shorts, tights, and thigh-high boots, with her long blond locks flowing straight down as she smiled for the shot.

Her father matched with a black suit, and Vanna in a body-hugging black one-shoulder dress with her blond hair in loose waves.

“Having a blast during Super Heroes Week! We love seeing confetti on the floor,” Pat Sajak‘s daughter captioned the post, mentioning the show’s theme for the week.

IN THE FAMILY

Fans gushed over Maggie’s presence and called for her to take the lead on Wheel of Fortune.

“You really should be the next host once your dad retires,” one person commented.

“Definitely a great group and Maggie looks like she is about ready to be the boss!!” wrote another.

“You should definitely take Vanna’s place when she inevitably leaves,” encouraged a third.

In July, Pat, 77, announced he’s retiring as host this year, and American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, 49, will take his place.

The move left many wondering about Vanna’s fate on the show, as she’s been by Pat’s side throughout most of his over 40-year career.

Ryan later confirmed that Vanna would remain on the puzzle board when he stepped in, and earlier reports revealed that she fought for a pay increase.

Still, viewers hoped Maggie would become more involved onscreen and again begged her to become the new host.

“She has such classic features. Wish she was going to be the new host,” a fan recently commented on Maggie’s Instagram post of her rocking a sexy black gown.

Someone else commented on a later post of Maggie donning another black ensemble, “Really wish that you were taking over your dad’s job. You know it better than most. Not looking forward to your dad leaving.”

Wheel of Fortune host timeline

Premiering in 1975, the beloved game show has had a few different iconic hosts in its nearly 50 seasons.

1975 – 1981 : Chuck Woolery was the original host of Wheel of Fortune until he departed in 1981.

1981 – June 2024: Pat Sajak took over and became a beloved Wheel of Fortune host for over 40 years.

September 2024: Ryan Seacrest was declared the newest host as Sajak announced his retirement.

Fans previously claimed they spotted clues that Maggie would eventually succeed Vanna after noticing her behavior on social media.

It happened when Maggie shared a video of her walking around in a beachy pink dress and high heels while soaking up the sunny weather.

Some thought she mirrored how Vanna walks to the puzzle board at the start of each episode.

“Maggie is ready!” one fan said in the comments.

WHEEL TAKEOVER

And others thought she hinted at becoming the show’s next co-host in an earlier clip of her and Vanna wearing sparkly gowns on the game show stage.

“Maggie is future Letter turner???” a fan wondered.

“Passing of the guard,” remarked another.

“Bye bye Vanna,” said a third.

“Maggie should keep her father’s show on air. Pat was the best at Wheel now it’s time for Maggie to keep Wheel running,” begged a fourth.

Pat’s final episode will be in June after the conclusion of season 41.
