Two Wheel of Fortune contestants are in the running to take over Pat Sajak's spot as the most loved faces on TV.

Okay, that may be a tad hyperbolic, but still, WoF fans are certainly obsessed with mother and son duo Liz and KC Wright, who appeared on Tuesday's (Nov. 14) episode.

After introducing themselves, KC wasted no time gushing over his mom. "She’s 92 years old," he said to great applause. "She spent the first 88 years of her life in Oklahoma with my dad. They, for 62 years, traveled the world, a hundred countries and seven continents. He passed, and she moved down five years ago to be with me."

KC continued, "And I say, you know, the first 18 years of my life, you taught me how to use a spoon, do all the things, watch Wheel of Fortune. And then, the last five years, I’ve been able to try to give something back to her."

"Well, you’re a good son," Sajak said before passing the mic to Liz, asking, "What's his best trait? What do you like most about your son?"

Without hesitation, Liz replied, "Oh, he’s the greatest father in the world."

But the duo didn't come on as contestants to show off their love for one another. They were there to compete and win big–which they did.

As the show continued, Liz and KC worked together to solve the first puzzle, correctly guessing "The Adventure of a Lifetime," which was pretty fitting for the moment, according to Liz, who exclaimed, "That's this."

The pair then went on to complete the second–with barely any letters on the board, may we add–guessing, "How the Grinch Stole Christmas," and the third puzzle, "Precious Metals," earning them a trip to Antigua, a running total of $25,500 in prize money and a spot in the bonus round.

After selecting the "Food & Drink" category, the board reset to read: "DR_ _ _ LED _ _ NE _."

The head-scratching puzzle wasn't enough to trip them up as the two worked together, sounding out possible answers for the last puzzle. Eventually, Liz leaned in to whisper what she thought was the answer to her son, and as you could probably assume, she got it right, "Drizzled Honey."

Their clean sweep inspired fans, who took to social media to congratulate the winners.

"She's so unbelievably astute!" one YouTuber commented. "Probably spent most of her 91 years doing crossword puzzles and watching Wheel, that's for sure! :)."

"The mother & son duo we're on fire, congratulations to both of them," a second added.

"What a blessing Ms. Liz is! Thank you Ms. Liz for warming our hearts You and KC are winners!!!" someone else exclaimed.

"What an amazing lady! She played like a champ! Would love to hear her bio. KC and Liz blessed to have each other," a fourth wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

"My eyes are watery," added another. "Liz is too cute! Great puzzle solver too!!! Her son KC’s intro was touching."
