(The show has existed in some form since 1975.) The 26-year-old will become better known to Wheel of Fortune fans with her new job, but she’s been in the public eye before. She also has a music career, once took over Vanna White’s role on Wheel of Fortune as the letter-revealer, and modeled some denim looks for Teen Vogue.

Maggie is a country music singer. As a teen, she released a single called “First Kiss” in 2011 and another single, “Wild Boy”, in 2013. “First Kiss” was featured on the CMT reality series Sweet Home Alabama.ae0fcc31ae342fd3a1346ebb1f342fcb “I’ve always wanted to be a singer,” Maggie told CMT in 2013. “But I also always dreamed of being a doctor, and Princeton was my dream school. So I thought I’d lay the ground work for med school while I’m in college.” She also shared that her parents’ love of the genre influenced her. “Since I was little, my parents listened to a lot of country,” she told CMT. “My dad lived in Nashville for a while, and he appreciates older country. And my mom loves Faith Hill and Martina McBride. I appreciate the older music, and new artists like Luke Bryan and Carrie Underwood. But I really love the folk singer-songwriters as well. All of that has shaped the kind of music I’m making now.” When Pat had to undergo intestinal surgery in 2019, White filled in for him and Maggie filled in for White. And that wasn’t her first time appearing on the show, either. During her time co-hosting, the show played a clip of Maggie’s debut on Wheel of Fortune when she was only a year old. “I’m walking a little better now, and hopefully I’m a little more eloquent than last time,” Maggie joked.
