One contestant’s Wheel of Fortune answer brought him anything but big money.
On the May 23 episode of the iconic game show, a player named Tavaris Williams left the crowd and host Pat Sajak speechless when he answered a toss up puzzle with a very NSFW answer.
With the category “Phrases,” Tavaris saw the letters “_ _ _ _ I _ T _ E B _ _ T!,” and immediately buzzed in with the response, “Right in the butt!” The answer drew a loud gasp from the audience, with fellow contestant Tyra exclaiming, “What?!” Sajak let him down with a gentle, “No.”
So what was the real answer? Well contestant Blake was able to guess the puzzle correctly: “This is the best!”
It was not, in fact, the best for Tavaris, as the Florida native gave a chuckle and quipped, “Much better answer.”
And as Sajak—who is enjoying his last season as Wheel of Fortune host—pointed out during Tavaris’ interview, “You’ve already made an impression on us.”
