The famed host appeared on his final episode of Wheel of Fortune back in June. In an interview on Good Morning America, Sajak sat down with his daughter, Maggie, 29, where he expressed gratitude for more than four decades on the show.

“Somewhere along the line, we became more than a popular show,” he said. “We became part of the popular culture. And more importantly, we became part of people’s lives. And, that’s been awfully gratifying.”

Now, Maggie is carrying on her father’s legacy, as she serves as Wheel of Fortune‘s social media correspondent.

Upon Pat’s return for his final season of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, he will be joined by Vanna White, his Wheel of Fortune co-host of more than three decades.

Celebrity Wheel of Fortune premieres Monday, Oct. 14, at 8 p.m. EDT on ABC.
