Maggie, for her part, has followed in her dad’s footsteps and worked on the team at Wheel of Fortune as the official social correspondent since 2021. Because of her long connection to the show and the cast involved, she said cohost Vanna White, who remains on the show, is part of her family. (Pat shares Maggie and son Patrick, 34, with wife Lesly Brown.)

“Jokingly, we say she’s Aunt Vanna, but I really have known her since before I was born,” Maggie told Us. “She’s great, I love being able to see her now at work. We have a lot of fun, I pull her into TikToks I’m doing and things like that, so she’s the best.”

Maggie continued, “She really is such an icon, such a legend and such a great person too. She’s as sweet as she seems.”

The social correspondent gushed to Us about what it was like growing up on set.

“It’s such a special show to so many people and it’s more than just a show, which sounds maybe kinda cheesy, but it really is. I mean, this is bonding among generations. This is the time that families eat dinner together. I mean, it’s really special,” she explained. “When people have come up to my dad or told me how special the show is to them, it goes beyond just ‘I love that show’ and to be a part of it now is really meaningful to me.”
