“Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak is on the mend following emergency surgery, the show’s official Twitter account said on Friday.
“Our taping on Thursday was canceled because host Pat Sajak underwent successful emergency surgery to correct a blocked intestine,” the tweet read.
“He is resting comfortably and looking forward to getting back to work,” the statement added.
Per the tweet, taping for the show resumed on Friday as scheduled and Vanna White has taken over hosting duties as Sajak, 73, recovers.
Last Friday, Sajak stepped out with White, 62, and Alex Trebek on the Hollywood Walk of Fame to celebrate the unveiling of a star honoring producer Harry Friedman.
