As Maggie Sajak<\/strong> put it, “S _ R P R _ S E !”<\/p>\n

Since Wheel of Fortune<\/em> host Pat Sajak <\/strong>underwent emergency surgery<\/a> to “correct a blocked intestine” in November 2019, there’s been a little rearranging at his famed longtime game show to make up for his absence. While co-host Vanna White<\/strong> has been filling in for him<\/a>, a somewhat new face popped up on our small screens on Monday night’s episode,. <\/p>\n

“It’s a bit confusing, but here’s the deal: Vanna will be hosting this coming week and the next. Then two weeks of shows I taped before my surgery. Then Vanna again the week of Jan. 6 with a special guest at the puzzle board,” Sajak tweeted at the start of December. “Then the planets will realign, and it’s back to normal.” <\/p>\n

That “special guest” he referenced was none other than his 25-year-old only daughter, Maggie, who returned to the show 24 years after making her first appearance as a 1-year-old tot. He and wife Lesly Brown Sajak <\/strong>welcomed her, their second child together, in 1995, after having son Patrick<\/strong> in 1990. <\/p>\n

“I made my debut on Wheel of Fortune<\/em> quite a while ago,” she told White before playing a clip of her as a youngster back in 1996. “I’m walking a little better now and hopefully I’m a little more eloquent than last time.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Big thanks to @wheeloffortune for having me and to @officialvannawhitefor making me feel at home,” Maggie wrote on social media. “See you all this week at the puzzle board!”<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, it sounds like she got a stamp of approval from her famous dad. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

“Another nice job by <\/span>@TheVannaWhite f<\/span>illing in this week on Wheel. I like the new puzzle person, too,” he tweeted. <\/span><\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Maggie also offered an update on her dad’s health after he assured fans his absence from the show this week was not a result of a relapse, but “because of the technicalities of the taping order and all that.”<\/p>\n

“He’s doing well,” she told White. “From the perspective of his daughter, it was a scary experience, I’m not gonna lie, but he’s doing great and I know he’s so excited to be back next week.”<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
