Vanna White has been a staple on Wheel of Fortune alongside Pat Sajak for decades. Pat, 76, is stepping down in 2024, and Ryan Seacrest will be stepping in as the permanent new host. But what about Vanna? The iconic letter-turner, 66, revealed who should be her replacement in a new interview.

That person is… Pat’s daughter, Maggie Sajak! “I think she’s a good replacement if I can’t be there for some reason,” Vanna told E! News. “She’s been around it her whole life, so I think she can fill in for me for sure.”

Maggie, 28, is already a part of the Wheel of Fortune family. She is the show’s social correspondent and turned the puzzle board when Vanna was a contestant on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune. She also filled in when Vanna had to host in Pat’s place as he recovered from surgery. Maggie has a stellar resume outside of Wheel of Fortune as well. Pat’s daughter recently graduated from Georgetown University Law School.

“She’s precious, she’s beautiful, she’s very good,” Vanna said about Maggie in her interview. “I think she learned a lot from her father because he’s such a good interviewer.” Vanna added, “I think she’s good for our show.”

Pat will be retiring as the Wheel of Fortune host after season 41 ends in 2024. After lengthy negotiations, Vanna has extended her contract by two years through the 2025-2026 season. Vanna and Pat have been working together since 1982, and the television personality admitted it’s going to be “really hard” to not be co-hosting alongside Pat after he steps down. “There’s definitely sadness and it is absolutely bittersweet for me,” she said.

The collection, which is “perfectly curated and beloved” by Vanna, includes a “Prizewinning Eyeshadow Palette,” “Face the Wheel Brush Palette,” and more.

BILOXI, Miss. (WLOX) - Just over a week after winning the largest sports wager payout ever of $75 million, “Mattress Mack” was at the Beau Rivage in Biloxi to place another big wager. On Tuesday “Mattress Mack” McIngvale placed a $500,000 bet on the Houston Cougars to win the college basketball national championship. If Houston claims the title with 10-1 odds, “Mattress Mack” would win $5 million. The Texas furniture store owner said he isn’t making these big wagers just for the thrill of betting. “I make these bets because we do promotions at the furniture store. Like if the Astros win the World Series you get your money back,” McIngvale said. “I won $75 million on that bet, gave back $73 million to the customers and the other $2 million was expenses. It enables us to run these great promotions. People love them especially with local teams like the Houston Astros and Houston Cougars. We’re having fun with these sports promotions, they work very well and it makes us relevant as a f...
