She also connected with this show family as an online correspondent. Maggie viral many private videos like behind-the-scenes clips and interviews, on social media, and on the show’s website. She also host the show on behalf of her father when Pat was going through surgery.
“The reason is, honestly, I’ve never liked the idea of imposing the host on the game. That always bothered me a little bit. We finally got to talking. We said, ‘Look, someone’s spinning the wheel anyway. We’ll save time. We’ll just let them spin it, whoever turn it happens to be. So the final spin, at least as far as the host is concerned, is gone, but the final spin remains. I’m just not doing it,” Sajak said.
