a video posted to Instagram ahead of his last episode, set to air this coming Friday, Jun. 7, took viewers “behind the puzzle board.”A post shared by Maggie Sajak (@maggiesajak)“It looks like an election headquarters back here, with all these screens and everything,” Sajak said in the video, filmed and shared by his daughter, Maggie. “We can’t show a lot, because there’s certain things that are highly classified!” the host cheekily added.

shocking NSFW answer on the show. On the May 23 episode of the game show, Williams incorrectly guessed “right up the butt” while trying to solve a phrase puzzle, leading to wild reactions from the other contestants, host Pat Sajak — and the internet.But when he appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” Wednesday, Williams was in good spirits about his viral snafu.

told TV Insider. White, 67, has been on the show since 1982. She signed a contract extension to stay on the game show through the 2025-2026 season, so, ostensibly, she’ll be there alongside Ryan Seacrest, 49, when he takes over for Sajak in the fall.

on Monday night’s show, the three fan-favorite contestants Luidgi Altidor, Rufus Cumberlander and Cynthia King were asked to complete a “[hrase”As the letters began to appear, showing “_ _ N ‘ _ _ _ _ K A _ _ _,” King buzzed in but drew a blank, leaving the puzzle up to her two opponents to solve.But when “_ _ N ‘ _ LO _ K AW _ _” popped up, Cumberlander proudly, and enthusiastically shouted “DON’T LOOK AWAY,” to which Altidor and King celebrated with him for making the guess.“No, No, No, No, No,” Sajak yelled at the contestants who were busy giving fist bumps to each other and the timer trickled down to the incorrect buzzer.

“Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak, 77 — known for his snark — had one of his most shocking reactions yet, when a contestant bombed an easy answer. On Tuesday’s episode, contestant Brittany was trying to solve a “phrase” puzzle in an attempt to win $11,200.The puzzle read: “ ‘A_ _T_ING’ ‘IS’ ‘POSSI_ _ E.” But, instead of solving the simple puzzle, Brittany spun again and requested an “R.”The audience gasped, clearly shocked, while Brittany seemed regretful. Sajak said, “I’m sorry, no R.”The next contestant, Susan, was able to solve it: “Anything is possible.”Neither Susan nor Brittany ultimately won, as the third player, Grant, got $27,000 before the bonus round.

“Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.”Ritter, who was competing with fashion designer Christian Siriano and “Schitt’s Creek” actress Sarah Levy, was trying to solve a puzzle in the “family” category that spelled out “Travis & Jason Kelce.”The “K” and “C” in “Kelce” were the only letters missing but Ritter — as well as her celebrity teammates — still couldn’t figure out the puzzle. Host Pat Sajak told Ritter to keep spelling, so she guessed “C,” leaving one letter left on the board to solve.“What is this word?” Siriano, 38, asked. Ritter spun again and guessed “K” to complete the puzzle, winning $48,250 for St.

wrote on X, formerly Twitter, after watching the episode. “She thought the platypus was filled? with what exactly? #WheelOfFortune.” Another fan said, “Where did this lady think an F was going to go in this puzzle?,” with a thinking face emoji. “A Duck-Filled Platypus!?” one viewer tweeted, expressing their confusion over Wright’s incorrect guess.

another “Wheel of Fortune” snafu.Fans have slammed the long-running game show once again as a contestant failed to guess what some viewed as a mischaracterized final puzzle on the episode that aired Wednesday night.After Laura Young, Spencer Morris and Briantae Maddox competed for the cash prize, however, some claimed that the bonus question was not categorized properly.Young, who was positioned to win a grand prize of $100,000, could not come up with the right answer after all four of her letter guesses failed to appear on the board.The final category was titled “Place,” with Young opting for the letters C, D, P and O with the show’s picks of R, S, T, L, N and E.Host Pat Sajak — who is leaving his post as the show’s long-time emcee later this year — didn’t look too happy with her choices, appearing to roll his eyes at her answers.With the puzzle reading “_R _ _EL ” “_ _ L _ _ _ _,” Young was unable to come up with the correct phrase before time was up. The answer? “Gravel walkway.”@WheelofFortune You don't know the difference between a place and a Thing!! Gravel Walkway is NOT a place.

according to TV Line — and that episode will double as the veteran show’s Season 41 finale.Ryan Seacrest takes over from Sajak for Season 42 when “Wheel of Fortune” returns this fall, with Vanna White back as the show’s iconic letter-turner.Sajak taped his final episode on Friday, April 5.Sajak announced last June that he was leaving “Wheel of Fortune” after hosting the show for 40 years.“Well, the time has come,” he said in a statement. “I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last.“It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months.

Monday night’s episode of “Wheel of Fortune” where he shocked viewers by pretending to host.He glided onto the colorful neon-lit stage with famed letter-turner Vanna White while OG host Pat Sajak was nowhere to be found.“Here are the stars of our show, Jared Leto and Vanna White,” the MC announced as the duo walked in, linking arms.“Have a great show and see you soon,” Leto said before taking his place by the puzzle board.The saying is Sajak’s routine phrase that he tells White, 67, at the beginning of every episode of the ABC game show.The “Suicide Squad” star continued without hesitation: “All right everybody, grab those devices, it’s time to give away some money. A $1000 in our first toss-up, the category is on the map.”Then in an instant, the trivia show zipped back to Sajak, 77, hosting like normal.Fans were confused by the act, taking to social media to express their befuddlement.

Wheel of Fortune” fans were audibly surprised by a moment on Thursday’s episode of the popular game show.Contestant Tara Brown beat the odds twice when she managed to land on the small $1 million wedge at two different points, and both times, she failed to secure the big prize.Fans of the show, hosted by Pat Sajak and Vanna White, know that the $1 million wedge works differently than the others – when a contestant lands on it and then correctly guesses a letter, they pick it up, and if they solve the final puzzle, then the $1 million prize will be available to win after the bonus round.The first time Brown obtained the wedge, it was when the contestants had nearly solved a puzzle in the “Let There Be Light!” category.

“Wheel of Fortune” contestant won last night’s game but failed to correctly guess the bonus puzzle.After the episode aired, fans of the game show began rallying around the contestant, insisting that she had actually named the right answer to the puzzle but that host Pat Sajak had failed to recognize it.The contestant, a woman named Tamara, chose “What Are You Doing?” for the category for the final puzzle. After co-host Vanna White turned over both the letters the show traditionally provides and the ones Tamara chose, she was left with “___N_NG A B___ _L_B.”“Now pay attention what’s up there,” Sajak advised.

Wheel of Fortune” fans went wild on Friday after the showrunners seemingly bungled the answer to one of the categories.The awkward flub came during the show’s Express round when host Pat Sajak introduced the category of “Rhyme Time.”After being able to solve the puzzle, the answer read “Absolutely Positively,” which several critics of the show were quick to point out … does not rhyme. “Absolutely Positively is NOT a rhyme,” one person posted on X (formerly Twitter).“Hey @WheelofFortune,” another person wrote. “Care to explain how these two words rhyme Because they absolutely positively DON’T.”“Love your show and have for years… HOWEVER hello?! ‘ABSOLUTELY POSITIVELY’ does NOT rhyme,” reamed another angry “Wheel” viewer.

fans are often quick to criticize contestants, and the winner of last night’s episode was no exception.A woman named Tina came out on top at the end of the episode and moved on to attempt to solve the bonus puzzle. When she was not able to guess the correct answer, viewers immediately took to social media to call her out.When she was allowed to choose the category for the bonus puzzle, Tina chose “Event.” After the six letters the show regularly provides and the four she picked herself, she was left with a puzzle that read, “M__OR _L____RD.”After making a face, her first guess was “minor blizzard.” She looked more and more panicked as time ticked down, repeating “minor” and trailing off.

Pat Sajak once again caused an uproar on social media after the longtime “Wheel of Fortune” host told one player to “shut up” during Tuesday’s episode — even though he was joking. The moment came just before the show’s bonus round when Sajak, 77, was tallying up the points from the most recent round. “According to my math, by $200…” Sajak began before he was interrupted by contestant Angela Omezie, who screamed when she realized she won the round.

wheely vicious.One “Wheel of Fortune” contestant found herself the butt of several online jokes after she missed a very easy bonus round puzzle. Contestant TaRhea Marshall managed to make her way into the legendary game show’s bonus round Friday with a whopping $25,898, and a chance to score a brand-new car.In the final round, Marshall was presented with the customary “R, S, T, L, N, E” letters after telling the show’s host, Pat Sajak, that she wanted to attempt the show’s “Food and Drink” category.After telling Sajak, 77, that she wanted to add the letters “C, B, G and A,” the puzzle read as: ” “BAGELS & _ _ _G_N_TS.”The pottery painter was then given 10 seconds to solve the mystery puzzle. Marshall attempted to solve the puzzle by shouting “bagels and beignets” and “bagels and croissants,” but she ultimately failed.

contestant Shauna Williams is going viral for not pronouncing an answer correctly — even though she solved the puzzle correctly. On Wednesday night’s episode, her incorrect diction cost her the win.The category was “Same Letter” and the response was: “congenial company & clever conversation.” “Congenial” was mispronounced and host Pat Sajak wasn’t happy to give her points.“Uh, no,” the longtime emcee, 77, said when Williams uttered the phrase wrong. Player Steve Sporre then said the reply correctly and scored the points.

due to an unfortunate mishandling of his cue cards.Sajak, 77 — who’s in his final season as the warhorse host of the game show — was getting set to ask Jason, a psychiatric nurse practitioner, about his relationship status when he mis-shuffled his note cards, resulting in an awkward exchange.“Married man?” Sajak asked Jason, who appeared confused by the question.“No, I’m single, actually,” he answered after waiting a beat.“You know, I’m sorry,” Sajak said, laughing. “I just messed up a card, hold on.

tapped to replace Pat Sajak on “Wheel of Fortune,” which he will take over once Sajak retires in mid-2024.“I’m beyond excited. I mean, Pat Sajek is a legend. No one can replace him,” Seacrest said Friday on “Good Morning America.”“Vanna White, she’s become a dear friend.

strikes again.“Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak, 77, who has become notorious for his blunt comebacks, lobbied yet another verbal bomb at a contestant this week after she criticized one of the show’s puzzles. During the bonus round, player Jill tried to guess the phrase on the letter board with the category, “What Are You Doing?”The “Wheel of Fortune” letter board puzzle read, “_ _ _ C _ N _ _ _ R _ _ _ N _ _ N,” after Jill chose the letters “C, M, H, A,” which added on to the provided letters of “RSTLNE.”Jill tried to solve the puzzle by saying, “Blocking our… score… hmm… Working our… ahh no!”Once the buzzer rang, the answer to the puzzle was revealed as “Voicing our opinion.”After failing to provide the right answer – and losing a chance to win $40,000 – Jill complained, “What kind of puzzle is that?”Sajak quipped, “It’s a puzzle you didn’t solve.”Perhaps poking fun at his own infamous attitude, Sajak then said, “It’s getting testy here on Christmas.At the end of the episode, Sajak tried to make light of the matter and jokingly gave a recap of what happened.
