Longtime "Wheel of Fortune" host Pat Sajak had a "depressing" moment with a contestant. Jennifer, 76, who lives in Texas but was born in England, failed to solve the puzzle during Wednesday’s episode. Not only did the game show player lose out during the bonus round, but her answer to the tricky puzzle was as disheartening as her loss.

"Wheel of Fortune" has brought families together for generations.  During a recent episode of the beloved game show, a contestant touched viewers’ hearts by sharing a special moment with longtime host Pat Sajak.  "I have a note that just says ‘grandparents’ on it," Sajak revealed. "Yes, I used to watch the show as a kid with my grandparents, my granny and my bumpa," Taylor, the "Wheel of Fortune" player, explained.            View this post on Instagram                       A post shared by Wheel of Fortune (@wheeloffortune) "They’re no longer with us, but I’m here as a tribute to them." Sajak responded, "Yeah, I hear that a lot, and it’s nice to hear from you.Thanks for being here." On the "Wheel of Fortune" social media account, the shared video was accompanied by a sweet photo of what appears to be Taylor as a child with her grandparents.  The caption read, "What are your memories watching Wheel with your family?" "Wheel of Fortune" co-host Vanna White shared her experience in the comments section.  "I watched the daytime version of Wheel and even wrote in to be a contestant on the show in the late 70's! It all worked out!" Fans also penned their precious moments when watching the popular game show.

PsychCentral describes ichthyophobia as “a persistent and irrational fear of fish” in which people “might fear seeing, smelling, touching or eating fish.”Sajak asked the contestant if the phobia came from a childhood experience, to which Laumb replied, “It’s a long story, Pat. We don’t have time.”Sajak however didn’t take the bait.Later on, Laumb moved on to the bonus round of the game show and as Sajak was coming over to congratulate the winner, he turned to another contestant and drew out a plastic fish.“Can you do me a favor? I don’t want her to see this, just hold onto this,” said Sajak handing the fish to the contestant.Laumb was then spotted groaning and covering her eyes but was seemingly laughing.That’s when Sajak decided to concede and say sorry. “Ashley, you all right,” asked Sajak.

A post shared by Wheel of Fortune (@wheeloffortune)After the bizarre exchange, a troop of viewers ripped Pat on social media. "Pat, what you did with the fish was psychologically abusive to the contestant," one person said. Others called him "naughty" or "shady." Still, many, many others backed Pat, saying the gag was funny and harmless. Demi Moore is sharing the same roof with her ex-husband, Bruce Willis, and his current wife, Emma Heming, according to a new report. A source told RadarOnline.com on March 8, "Demi has moved in, and she is not leaving until the very end."However, later in the day, Bruce's wife, Emma Heming, denied it.

Pat Sajak is once again being called out for creating an awkward moment with a "Wheel of Fortune" contestant. In an episode that aired last week, Sajak was speaking with a contestant named Ashley about her fear of fish, and he eventually took things a step further by actually presenting her with a fake fish. The conversation started during the interview segment of the show, when the host approached Ashley he said, "You don't like fish.

He has a big, blended family of six children, 14 grandchildren and nine great-grandchildren.“I started a real beard about six years ago, it made all the difference in the world,” Weichert explained.

After four decades of hosting "Wheel of Fortune," Pat Sajak has shocked viewers with a new game show move.

A "Wheel of Fortune" contestant spun the wheel of misfortune as she missed out on two major prizes.  During an episode of the beloved game show, a player from Louisiana named Micki guessed the puzzle letter incorrectly, causing major disappointment among fans.
