On social media, many viewers were stunned after a viral clip showed a Wheel of Fortune contestant giving the ‘Worst Wrong Answer’ in the show’s history.
In the episode of Wheel of Fortune, a contestant made a misstep in the spotlight after giving the ‘worst wrong answer’ ever.
This incident left viewers baffled and sparked debates among them.
The incident quickly became viral after Will’s puzzling guess during a critical moment in the game.
The question that stumped the Wheel of Fortune contestant
On the November 11 episode of Wheel of Fortune, contestant Will Jordan shocked viewers with what many are calling the worst wrong answer in game show history.
Will, from Connecticut, was competing alongside Kitina Thomas and Chantel Toran for the jackpot.
Host Ryan Seacrest asked the contestants to guess the phrase based on the following clue: “_ _ _ E _OURSE_F A ROUN_ OF A_ _ _ AUSE.”
When Will buzzed in, he boldly answered with: “Treat yourself a round of sausage.” Needless to say, the guess was far from correct.
Fans couldn’t believe what they heard, as the actual phrase was “Give yourself a round of applause,” correctly guessed by fellow contestant Kitina.
Host and contestant reactions to Will’s answer in the game
Host Ryan Seacrest responded jokingly, saying, “Will, I kind of like yours better. That sounds better than just clapping right now.”
Maggie Sajak, Pat Sajak’s daughter, also chimed in, asking Will how he felt after the blunder.
Will humorously admitted to the pressure of being on TV, explaining that the lights and the famous faces threw him off.
Despite the embarrassing moment, Will remained a good sport.
“When the lights are on, and you know, the stars and Ryan Seacrest, Vanna White… I just went blank,” he explained. He added, “But if your dad, in retirement, is watching this show, maybe cracks a beer and gets a laugh, it was worth it.”
Many viewers express their shock about Will’s bluder
The clip of Will’s blunder quickly went viral, with thousands sharing it on social media.
In the comment selection, many suggested that Will’s bluder could go down one of the worst guesses on the Wheel of Fortune of all time.
One person said: I would have called for an ambulance, and report that he’s having a stroke. Good God what was he trying to say?
A second wrote: I watched this live on TV and when he said that it actually caused me physical pain.
While a third commented: Good God! That wasn’t even close! We know what’s on his mind.
Another added: I watched this last night and I couldn’t believe he said that. He also messed up a few other times like asking for the K that made no sense.
Someone else said: What did Seacrest do? Hand him a piece of paper with the word sausage spelled on it
Despite the mishap, Will left the show with $8,000 (£6,296) in his pocket, securing third place.
Kitina finished as the runner-up with $10,500 (£8,263), while Chantel took home the jackpot of $13,000 (£10,230).
While Will’s wrong answer may have been one of the most entertaining moments in Wheel of Fortune history, he took it all in stride.
The clip will likely live on as one of the most memorable game show moments for years to come.
