Freida McFadden is the queen of twists, but she never saw this one coming: Vanna White recommended her book The Housemaid on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.
When Paul Feig — who directed the upcoming film adaptation of McFadden’s wildly successful 2022 novel — appeared on a recent episode of the game show, he gave the movie a shout-out.
“You think about Bridesmaids, Spy, Heat. You are the go-to comedy director. What comedy is next for you?” Celebrity Wheel of Fortune host Ryan Seacrest asked, to which Feig, 63, replied, “My next comedy is not a comedy at all. It’s actually called The Housemaid.”
White, 68, didn’t waste any time sharing her endorsement of the psychological thriller, interrupting Feig to sing its praises.

“Thank you, Vanna,” he said. “Freida McFadden, the writer, is great. It’s a thriller with lots of twists and turns, but it’s a fun thriller, I will say.”
McFadden recorded the Celebrity Wheel of Fortune moment on TV and posted the clip via Instagram on Saturday, November 22.
