Can I add my wife to my extension I filed back in April? I filed it in TurboTax and thought I had added her. We file jointly. I was going to call the IRS Tax Advocate.

I swear I had added her social security and everything when I filed the extension back in April. Extensions are closed now, but I want to file jointly with her and see if I can add her to to my extension by calling the IRS. Is this even possible?

Yes.  Just file your Joint return as normal.  You don't need to  update the extension form.  Add her under My Info.

You can file your 2023 tax return as Married Filing Jointly regardless of how you entered the filing status on the Form 4868 extension request.

If you paid any taxes with the extension request make sure it is included in your 2023 tax return.
