Vanna White, known for revealing letters of the puzzleboard on 'Wheel of Fortune,' took on a different role Monday night: host.

White, 62, filled in for Pat Sajak as he recovered from emergency surgery. Production was halted for a day before White stepped in.

Not to worry, the puzzle board didn't go untouched, as a person dressed as Minnie Mouse took on the task.

Monday's episode, filmed in November during Sajak's time off, will kick off her three-week run as host before Sajak, 73, returns to his post.

The official Twitter account for the show tweeted Monday afternoon to tease the unmissable episode.

She continued, 'Normally I just stand there and I turn my letters, and I’m just happy as can be not having to worry about anything else. But here I am controlling the game. So logistically, it was much harder. But I know every aspect of the game, which helped so much.'
