The popular game show switched things up as they welcomed "Jeopardy!" hosts Ken Jennings and Mayim Bialik as contestants on "Wheel of Fortune." Vanna will also join the hosts in the game show switch-up.

"Things are a little different around here tonight. We’ve been on the air with our sister show ‘Jeopardy!’ right next door for decades, but this is the first time that we’ve been able to invite them to ‘Wheel of Fortune,’ to play our game," Pat explained.

Leading up to the highly anticipated episode, "Wheel of Fortune" shared a sneak peek on its social media account of Pat introducing Vanna during the game.
