Wheel Of Fortune has been around for a long time, and thus has had a considerable amount of time to put together tons of different categories. The show is one of the best game shows of all time for a reason, and one of those reasons is its broad variety of options, from “Rhyme Time,” which has been around since the ‘90s, to more recent additions like “What the Fun,” a category that was only added during Ryan Seacrest’s tenure. Recently, Pat Sajak’s daughter Maggie (who may one day be up for the TV gig) asked the two hosts about their “favorite” category on the show, and frankly, I think they got it all wrong.
If you were to ask Ryan and Vanna, they surprisingly would not choose a classic WOF category as their favorite. Going through a wide swathe of popular options, the two eventually latch onto Pet Peeves” as the best of the best. This is interesting given the category was only introduced on the show back in January of 2025. Seacrest had only taken over the show, landing it a serious ratings boost, a few months before.
