“Right in the Butt” Wheel of Fortune Contestant Goes Viral
- Funny
- Offensive
May 25th, 2024 – On a recent episode of America’s favorite word-guessing game show, “Wheel of Fortune,” things got a little… unexpected. Contestant Tavaris, in a moment of either genius or blunder (depending on how you look at it), took a wild guess that left the audience, fellow contestants, and even host Pat Sajak speechless.
The category? Phrase. With only a few letters revealed, Tavaris, with unwavering confidence, belted out, “Right in the butt!” The studio erupted in laughter, with one contestant audibly exclaiming, “What?!”
Sajak, ever the professional, managed to keep it together, simply responding with a dry, “No,” before moving on to the next contestant, Blake. Blake, clearly tickled by the entire situation, chimed in with, “This is the best!”
Sajak, with a hint of amusement in his voice, acknowledged the absurdity, replying, “Yeah, that’s, that’s it. I think.” Tavaris, realizing his mistake, sheepishly admitted, “Much better answer.”
The internet, of course, had a field day. The clip of the exchange quickly went viral, with social media buzzing about the “Wheel of Fortune clip you will be seeing many times” and a moment worthy of the “Wheel of Fortune Hall of Fame.” Even Merriam-Webster’s official Twitter account got in on the action, jokingly asking users to stop sending them the clip!
This hilarious incident serves as a reminder that sometimes, the most memorable moments on game shows aren’t the big wins, but the unexpected turns and bursts of laughter that come along the way. While Tavaris may not have walked away with a fortune, he certainly left his mark on Wheel of Fortune history.
