— Wheel of Fortune (@WheelofFortune) February 27, 2020 “That is correct,” Sajak informed her before jokingly imitating another contestant’s shocked and impressed facial expression. While Taya could. Wednesday's Wheel of Fortune was a fun one. All three contestants were excellent and thoroughly entertained the viewers. In fact, it was so fun that Pat Sajak was ready to 'lift the ceiling' off.

July 29 (UPI) -- Sony Pictures Television told USA Today in a statement that Alex Trebek, 80, of Jeopardy! and Pat Sajak, 73, and Vanna White, 63, of Wheel of Fortune are returning to Los Angeles studios for new episodes.

'While some things may have changed behind the scenes and on the set to keep everyone safe, fans can expect to see the same Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy! they have come to love when the season starts,' the statement said.

Both shows are slated to resume production this week and next, Deadline.com reported.

Wheel of Fortune and Jeopardy!suspended their audience tapings and then stopped filming new episodes all together around mid-March amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

Trebek had announced a year before the delay in the show's production that he was diagnosed with Stage 4 pancreatic cancer. More recently, he said that his cancer treatment is going well and he's 'feeling great.'

The show recorded some classic episodes during the hiatus and Trebek said that he is eager to return.

'The productions have protocols in place in accordance with current government guidelines to protect contestants, staff, crew and talent from the spread of COVID-19,' a studio spokesperson told People.

Is Pat Sajak Retiring

Prevention measures due to COVID-19 at Wheel of Fortune include a redesigned wheel that allows contestants to stay six feet apart. At Jeopardy!, contestants will be spaced out further and away from Trebek at his lectern.

Along with social measures, other changes include: allowing only staff and crew on stage, providing everyone behind the scenes with personal protective equipment, testing contestants before they come on the show and testing staff and crew on a regular basis.

'Wheel of Fortune' viewers were doubled over in laughter during Thursday night's episode after one of its puzzles revealed a risqué message.

Contestant Adam Goodell scored $2,450 and advanced to the bonus round for solving the puzzle, 'Brushing up on my Italian sausage' — a phrase that got much more attention than the player who guessed it.

Those watching at home immediately took to Twitter to express their disbelief over the solved puzzle, which was dubbed 'kinky' and 'hilarious.'

'Yeah, I don't know about this one #wheeloffortune #ohvannapickmealetter,' one user wrote, sharing a photo of his television screen with the proof.

'I found the 'Brushing up on my Italian sausage' puzzle on #WheelofFortune tonight hilarious for some reason!' another commented.

Others found it hard to believe the family-friendly game show let it slide.

'Bruh what intern must made the puzzle 'brushing up on my Italian sausage' I'm dead,' one social media user said.

Another tweeted: 'Brushing up on my Italian sausage' may be one of the most lurid-sounding #WheelofFortune puzzles ever.'

'So apparently the solution to a puzzle on Wheel of Fortune yesterday was 'Brushing Up On My Italian Sausage'...and I think the jokes write themselves,' another user wrote with several laughing face emojis.

'That doesn't sound right,' pointed out another.

Pat Sajak Wheel Of Fortune Retire

Host Pat Sajak even joined in on the laughter. After the scandalous puzzle was revealed, he provided a smirk and quickly said, 'Uh...it's a grilling expression.'

This is far from the first time the popular game show has drawn giggles from the viewership. Just last month the audience was captivated after one contestant's guess during the game's Bonus Round had the crowd erupting in laughter.

Contestant Marie Leo was tasked with solving, '-----NG -A--' and in a matter of seconds she blurted out, 'Chasing Tail.'

Realizing her flub, the contestant immediately said, 'No,' before her time ran out. The answer was revealed to be 'Kicking Back.'
