'Wheel Of Fortune' Fans Think Vanna White Should Keep Hosting Even After Pat Sajak Recovers
This week's episodes of "Wheel of Fortune" are being hosting by Vanna White for the first time in the show's 37-year history. The episodes were recorded last month while Pat Sajak recovered from emergency surgery for a blocked intestine.
Fans of the game show all seem to think she's doing an amazing job, and some even say she should remain the host.

"She should’ve had countless opportunities to host before this," one person tweeted.
"Let Vanna continue hosting, Pat can turn letters when he gets back," someone else wrote.
"If you ask me it should be the other way around. pat sajak should be the one who turns the letters on the show," another noted.
"She's the best one to do it...It's where she should be," another said.
Sajak explained in a tweet how the hosting duties will work for the next few weeks.
"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. Then the planets will realign, and it’s back to normal," he wrote.
"I was probably the most nervous — and excited at the same time — to be able to fill in for Pat while he was away," White told Us Weekly on Tuesday about filling in. "But I’m proud to say that he is healthy and back at work."
"I have never even thought of hosting the show. Never crossed my mind," she continued. "But obviously, I stepped in, took one for the team to fill in for him because I’m very familiar with the show after all these years. And our executive producer thought I was the perfect person to do that in his absence. So it was good. It was different. It was fun. But I’m glad he’s back. … I learned that I was very uncomfortable doing it and agreeing to do it because it was just so out of my comfort zone, but I learned that I could step up to the plate if I had to."
