Vanna White will be hosting Wheel of Fortune for a short time.

She will take charge of the show while Pat Sajak recovers from surgery.

Sajak underwent “emergency surgery to correct a blocked intestine,” the show said on Friday.

The surgery prompted the cancellation of Thursday’s taping.

So who will turn the letters? Mickey Mouse is the obvious choice!

A source with the show tells TMZ that the person turning the letters will have mouse ears.

Wheel of Fortune is currently taping its shows at its Los Angeles studio for Disney Week.

Our taping on Thursday was canceled because host Pat Sajak underwent successful emergency surgery to correct a blocked intestine. He is resting comfortably and looking forward to getting back to work. Taping resumed today as scheduled and Vanna White has stepped in as host. pic.twitter.com/09zYOCE4hL
