Pat Sajak’s daughter is ready to fill in for Vanna White on “Wheel of Fortune.”

On Monday, Maggie Sajak, 29, took to her Instagram to share that she is filling in for White on Wednesday’s episode of “Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.”

“Warming up for Wednesday,” Maggie captioned a boomerang of herself walking in front of the famous game show board.

All proceeds from Wednesday night’s episode will be donated to charity.

“I hope to make Vanna proud,” she said on social media, with Pat chiming in, “I think I’m gonna cry.”

Maggie Sajak shared Mayim Bialik’s post announcing she will be competing against White on “Ultimate Host Night.” Also competing on Wednesday night is Bialik’s “Jeopardy!” co-host, Ken Jennings.

This will not be Maggie’s first appearance on “Wheel of Fortune.”

According to the game show’s website, Maggie made her debut as a 1-year-old, when she joined her father on stage during an episode. She also took on White’s role while White filled in for Pat for a week while he was recovering from surgeries.

Maggie Sajak graduated from Princeton University and finished a postgraduate program at Columbia University.

“The Wheel of Fortune staff and crew have always been like an extended family,” Maggie said in a statement shared to the website about her position.

“And I’m thrilled to be working with them. It’s a real privilege to be able to treat the show’s longtime viewers to a look at what goes on when the cameras aren’t rolling. Plus, I get to use the carpool lane with my father!”
