When did Maggie become a lawyer?

As The Sun reports, Maggie’s legal license was issued on September 7, 2024, by the State Bar of California.

The Wheel of Fortune personality graduated from Princeton University, completed a postgraduate program at Columbia University, and graduated from Georgetown University Law School in Washington, D.C., in May 2023 .

What does Maggie’s legal career mean for her work at Wheel of Fortune?

So, does this mean Maggie’s Wheel of Fortune days are going to end soon?

It looks like Maggie is enjoying her career at Wheel of Fortune before making a major move.

Once Maggie begins practicing law, she won’t have time to pursue a second career.

Maggie hasn’t hinted that she’ll be leaving Wheel of Fortune anytime soon.

Some Wheel watchers hoped that Maggie would follow in the footsteps of her famous father Pat Sajak and one day replace Vanna White as the show’s longtime tile turner.

Maggie — whose brother Patrick Sajak is a doctor in York, Pennsylvania — had the opportunity to do just that for a week while her father recovered from emergency surgery in 2019.

Vanna even supported Maggie as a suitable replacement, should she ever need one.

In October 2023, Vanna told Francesca Amiker of E! News, “I think she’s a good backup if I can’t be there for whatever reason.”

“She’s been there all her life, so I think she can replace me for sure,” Vanna added.

Vanna noted that Maggie inherited her father Pat’s charm, which she said “rubbed off” on the aspiring lawyer.

Vanna had other kind things to say about Maggie, gushing, “She’s precious, she’s beautiful, she’s very good.” I think she learned a lot from her father because he is a very good interviewer.

With a future as a lawyer on the horizon, Maggie may not be interested in a lifelong career in front of the camera like her father.

For now, however, Maggie continues to provide Wheel watchers with exclusive behind-the-scenes content.

Maggie gets backstage access and previews upcoming events. She also interviews candidates, staff and crew.
