Pat Sajak is on the road to recovery after undergoing surgery for a blocked intestine ... opening the door for Vanna White to host "Wheel of Fortune."
Production sources tell TMZ ... Pat is going to be sidelined for two weeks, during which Vanna will fill his shoes on the hosting front.
"Wheel of Fortune" is currently shooting Disney Week at its Los Angeles studio ... and our production sources tell us the person turning the letters will have mouse ears ... in case you can't figure it out, we're talking Mickey Mouse!!!
The show announced it canceled its Thursday taping because Pat went under the knife, and taping resumed Friday with Vanna stepping in as host. Sajak is said to be resting comfortably and looking forward to getting back on the job.
Pat's been the host of "Wheel of Fortune" -- the longest-running syndicated game show in the country -- since 1982, and Vanna's been turning the letters since then as well.
'Wheel' and "Jeopardy" are owned by the same company and are 2 of the most successful shows in TV syndication. Pat's now laid up, and Alex Trebek is battling pancreatic cancer and is undergoing a second round of chemo, though he has not missed a show.
Get well soon, Pat!!! And, Alex.
OOooh! That’s baaaaaad!
But I laughed!
That looks like a triple sawbuck to me.
I had this problem and it was a result of having my appendix removed when I was 15.
It really started to appear when I was about 30 and was having acid reflux problems though nothing was done at that time. I was taking Zantac 150’s like they were Tic Tac’s.
At age 45, I was completely blocked at the junction where my appendix was. The emergency surgery they scraped the excess scar tissue at that junction, and I haven’t taken so much as a basic antacid in the 15 years since.

She hasnt turned the letters in years. They light up and she touches them and the letter is revealed. They could have the computer do it, but the fans are loyal and demand it.
Eating my wife's cooking.
If Vanna is hosting, who’s turning the letters?
Prayers for Pat’s speedy recovery.
I take it you never watch any soap operas.
Cute lady, I always preferred Susan Stafford.
Get well soon Pat. My mother also watched the show all the time as did I for many years.
Nice to see normal comments here. I just saw this article on Fox and all the comments are mean and sarcastic. Liberals have invaded Fox’s site, no doubt the same ones take all the polls Fox does that always go against Trump.
Peculiar proclivities, and unorthodox approaches to gustation, mastication, and other dietary activities, might play a part in that.
(Best wishes for Pat Sajak and Alex Trebek.)
Enjoyed that intro vid....and wish Pat a speedy recovery, as well.
If Vanna is hosting, whos turning the letters?
Per the thread OP/article......

Ha ha. How did you guess? You are right. Should of thought of that.
Its called being a normal healthy weight. Unfortunately, we seem to have forgotten what that looks like in this country.
#37 “How do you get an intestinal blockage?”
I know a meatloaf recipe that could clear that in a jiffy....
“a blocked intestine ... opening the door for Vanna White...”
Block, then open. TMZ does not have the best writers.
Prayers for the wonderful Mr. Sajak.
I wonder if the second was an A?
My dog had this happen after he swallowed one of my boot socks.
