Pat Sajak's daughter appeared on stage and revealed that it was not the first time that she has been on the show. The younger Sajak had visited her dad in 1996 when she was just a toddler during one of the tapings. After a small piece of footage from her early visit was played, Maggie joked that she's walking a little better now and that she's hopefully a little more eloquent than she was during her last appearance.
