Maggie and Pat Sajak are both known for their work with Wheel of Fortune. However, the two have also appeared in other projects together. Recently, Maggie got a few fans talking after a certain share with her father, one that involved a shout-out to a famous reality show.
Maggie & Pat Sajak Often Appear In Videos Together Following His Retirement From Wheel Of Fortune
Pat Sajak is known for his work with Wheel of Fortune, first joining the show as a host in 1981. He stepped down from the position in 2024, being succeeded by Ryan Seacrest. Following this, he continued to host Celebrity Wheel of Fortune until the following year.
Maggie Sajak is Pat’s daughter who has worn many hats over the years, from country music singer to Inside Edition correspondent. Since 2021, she has served as a social media correspondent for Wheel of Fortune, often featuring in promotional videos for the series.
Now that Pat has retired from the show, he has the time to make more appearances with his daughter, especially on social media. The father-daughter duo recently poked fun at themselves in a recent Instagram video where they lip-synched audio from Keeping Up With the Kardashians. During the video, Maggie lip-synced to audio from Kourtney Kardashian, sharing, “Have you ever come across somebody more difficult than yourself?” Pat then imitated Scott Disick, as the audio, “You’re up there,” played.
Some Fans Were Quick To Defend Pat, Calling Him ‘America’s Dad’
Maggie captioned the video, “Had to get my sass from somewhere.” In other words, Maggie suggested that if she was “difficult,” then she was just taking after her father. In fact, on the video, she boldly wrote, “When your dad matches your energy a little too well.”
The video was clearly meant to be tongue-in-cheek rather than Maggie seriously criticizing her father. Still, many fans came to Pat’s defense, feeling that even the implication that he was “difficult” was taking things too far.
Of course, some fans likely just wanted to comment on how fun it was seeing Maggie and Pat work together on a video. That said, a few fans had to admit that they could relate. Some comments included:
- “Pat Sajak is America’s Dad, we grew up with him too.”
- “Your dad is an icon.”
- “Hope your Dad is enjoying his retirement. Miss him.”
- “@maggiesajak my mom said the only person she has ever met more difficult than my dad is his daughter. That’s me.”
- “It’s been said I get my stubbornness from my dad.”
