While Seacrest’s many accomplishments make him a top contender for the role, fans have someone they want to take over for Pat — his daughter, Maggie Marie. As it turns out, Maggie is familiar with the inner workings of the long-running show, as she’s followed it since childhood and started working as its social media reporter in 2021.
