Pat Sajak made his first public appearance since undergoing emergency surgery for a blocked intestine three weeks ago.

The longtime host of Wheel Of Fortune, 73, attended the Washington Capitals game against the Tampa Bay Lightning on Friday in DC with his daughter Maggie, 24, by his side.

The game show host has been enjoying time with his family at their home in Severna Park, Maryland for the Thanksgiving holiday.

In a photo obtained by hockey blog RMNB, Sajak looked happy and healthy dressed in a red Capitals pull-over jacket.

Showing his allegiance to his adopted home state of Maryland, he also wore a black Baltimore Orioles baseball cap.

His daughter Maggie was all smiles to his right in a white furry top and her long blonde tresses pulled back off her face with a hair clip.

Pinch hitter: It was announced that Vanna White would take over as host until Sajak returned

'Always great to see Pat around the arena,' NBC Sports Washington's Craig Laughlin said during the third period of the game.

'Loves his hockey. He's getting better. He says the worst has passed Joe B after that surgery so well wishes to Pat and the family.'

The day earlier, on Thanksgivings, Sajak took to Twitter to give thanks to his fans, friends and followers, and to show off his sense of humor.

'At our Thanksgiving meal today we discussed politics (“Who votes for more cranberries?”), gender issues (“Is that a boy bird or a girl bird?”) and climate change (“That oven is making it warm in here!”). Hope you’re having a good one, too!

Road to recovery: Sajak posted that 'the worst had passed' three days after surgery

Wheel Of Fortune first announced that Sajak underwent emergency operation on November 8 and that he would temporarily be replaced as host by Vanna White.

Within three days, Sajak tweeted that 'the worst had passed', and that he'd be out of the hospital soon.

'I'm happy to say that my surgery was a total success with absolutely no after effects expected,' he began in a tweet the following day, November 12.

'But the best news is that when I came out of the operating room, I was 63 years old!' he joked, while adding the hashtag #10MoreYearsOfWheel'

Keeping it warm: White jokingly put Sajak at ease by saying his job is 'safe... well pretty safe'

During his recovery, White even took the time to jokingly put her colleague at ease by posting a snap of the two together on Twitter.

'Wheel Of Fortune without @patsajak is like a word without vowels,' she began in the caption.

'I'll fill in the blanks until you return. Rest up and we'll be solving puzzles in no time. (Don't worry, your job is safe! Well, pretty safe.)'

The first episodes White taped as host are expected to begin airing December 9.
