‘Wheel of Fortune’s’ Pat Sajak will be out for a week due to surgery, however that did not stop long time host Vanna White from teaming up with his daughter, Maggie, as her co-host.
Vanna White is teaming up with a new Sajak.
Longtime "Wheel of Fortune" letter-turner White, 62, filled in for host Pat Sajak while he recovered from surgery, and now, Pat's daughter Maggie has stepped in to turn the letters on the board.
In a video posted to YouTube, Pat Sajak told fans that there would be a special letter-turner on the show before White introduced Maggie, 25, to the studio audience.

Maggie said that despite Pat's surgery being a "scary experience" for her, he's now "doing great and he's so excited to be back next week."
Maggie also reminded viewers that she made her "WOF" debut many years ago as a young child and showcased a clip of Pat introducing her in 1996 while she mumbled in typical baby talk.
