She's becoming a larger on screen presence, so everyone will become very familiar with her by 2024. Plus, she's pretty.

And they happen to be giving camera time to Jim Thornton this year too. Jim Thornton and Maggie Sajak?

Here's the difference, IMO- Jim's time on camera seems like just that- having his face on camera. Here's what he looks like so you can attach a face to the voice. Maggie's feels like they're trying to establish her on screen presence. She's on camera to establish a rapport with the people watching as well as the people she's directly interacting with.
For the record, in his Wheel profile online, Jim is rocking a fresh haircut, accompanied by a smiley face emoji tie- his Dad Energy is way too high to take over Wheel if they're trying to reach new demos. Not sure when/why we decided to suggest announcers as fitting backfills for open hosting gigs, but most of them seem like capable fill-ins, not permanent options.

This seems reasonable. Vanna will be 67 in 2024 and already has more money than she knows what to do with.

Just my thoughts on music: for some reason I really dig the Toss Up Puzzle music. I'd work out to it ;D
As for theme...well...at least the old Changing Keys tune is very much there, but doesn't sound like many other real instruments are.
Synths, an electric guitar here and there, typical "modernized" standards. It's not terrible, though.

Banning any "natural causes", I see Pat and Vanna retiring at the same time.
If that is the case, why would the Sajak name be downgraded to letter-toucher? It would only make sense to groom her as taking over daddy's position, which might put the spark in the show that is so desperately needed -- Pat is just phoning it in.
