Social Media Has Mixed Reactions To Vanna White Hosting ‘Wheel Of Fortune’
As we reported last month, Pat Sajak had to undergo emergency surgery to correct a blocked intestine. Since he was set to be out for two weeks, Vanna White stepped in to host Wheel Of Fortune.
Although the shows were taped last month, they are just beginning to air. Many viewers are hitting social media to give their opinions on how Vanna White is doing, and there is a mix of reactions. Some are calling White awkward, some are defending her, and some are just cracking jokes about the show in general. Read some of the best tweets below.

Y'all saying Vanna is awkward on her first day as though Pat isn't still super awkward 36 seasons later #wheeloffortune

Love Vanna but her performance as host proves she’s been zoned out this whole time which tbh I’m not mad. #WheelofFortune

Some of yall complain about not getting a promotion after a year or two. Vana White patiently waited 40 years to finally get promoted to host WOF, and smiled every damned day. #wheeloffortune pic.twitter.com/EKvu5EEjTm

You know humanity has to suck when people feel the need to pick on Vanna, who's helping out a dear friend. You jerks make me so flippin' mad!!! #wheeloffortune

I think Watching #WheelOfFortune right now is not a good time to take drugs. Because you'll be so freaked out seeing Vanna standing where Pat use to stand. Then seeing Minnie Mouse standing where #Vanna usually stands. I think even Snoop Dog will feel like he smoked too much pot!

I know the haters on social media won't like this, but I thought @TheVannaWhite did a very good job for her first time hosting with only a short notice. I'm sure she will improve in future episodes, first time doing something new can be nervewacking. #wheeloffortune pic.twitter.com/NeGw3sHhJV

How is #wheeloffortune not trending with @TheVannaWhite hosting? I feel like I'm in an alternate timeline! Also now I want to see @patsajak take a swing at working the letter board... pic.twitter.com/R6jnNQkces
