Pat Sajak <\/strong>is in recovery after undergoing an emergency surgery.<\/p>\n

In a statement shared to the Wheel of Fortune Twitter<\/a><\/em>, the show revealed they canceled Thursday’s taping of the game show due to Sajak undergoing emergency surgery to “correct a blocked intestine.” They share, “He is resting comfortably and looking forward to getting back to work.”<\/p>\n

Despite Pat being bedridden, the show must go on! Production on the 37th season resumed on Friday and in his absence his counterpart, Vanna White<\/strong>, <\/strong>is taking on the role of host. <\/p>\n

This upcoming season will air on TV on Dec. 9.<\/p>\n

There’s no doubt that Pat Sajak will be back on-set in no time. In the long Wheel of Fortune<\/em> history, Sajak and White have rarely taken a break from their duties. The few occasions Vanna has been absent for extended periods of time were due to the death of her husband John Gibson<\/strong> and to go on a honeymoon with her second husband George San Pietro<\/strong>. <\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Likewise, Pat’s taken few days off in the over 35-years he’s been host of the syndicated program.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n

Interestingly enough, he’s recognized as the longest-running game show host ever, surpassing the record of even Bob Barker<\/strong> of The Price Is Right<\/em>. Moreover, the show celebrated its 7,000th episode this May.<\/p>\n

It’s safe to say they won’t be going away any time soon.<\/p>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n
