A "Wheel of Fortune" game show gaffe left fans perplexed after Wednesday night’s episode. A contestant named Carla racked up a total of $6,750 while spinning the wheel, however the scoreboard appeared to be set to $0 the next time she appeared on screen.

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.

A "Wheel of Fortune" contestant made a risky move during the bonus round. During Wednesday’s episode, a game show player named Bradley snuck in a special message before solving the puzzle. The phrase on the letter board spelled out "HAPP_  T_  HEAR THAT," with only two letters missing from the puzzle.

awkward moment with a contestant after he tugged on his facial hair — something he said he’ll “never do again.”Contestant Greg Weichert, from Florida, sported a big, bushy gray beard as he revealed that he’s been “helping out” Santa Claus for 25 years. 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. During Tuesday night’s episode, the longtime host had an awkward encounter with a contestant who shared similar features to Santa Claus. "Now, Santa Claus needs help in the holidays, he needs helpers and I understand you fill that role," Sajak said to the game show player.

surveyed the internet, referring to an incorrect guess during Teen Week. “A) Fregh…B) Fireplace… I’d go B since it changed the entire game.”On that episode, contestant Khushi was one letter away from a trip to Antigua when she incorrectly solved the board that read “FRE_H TROPICAL FRUIT.”Twitter users accused the teen of “zoning out” and missing the seemingly obvious “FRESH.”“The fregh tropical fruit one also changed the game.

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. Micki was three letters away from winning not only the million-dollar wedge, but also a trip to Croatia.  Before announcing her letter, audience members are heard in the background cheering her on once the wheel landed on the Croatia wedge.

"Wheel of Fortune" has been on television since 1975 – so a few mistakes are expected. The game show's longtime host, Pat Sajak, recently scolded a contestant who got ahead of themselves and made a wrong move during an episode.

cheesy oversight almost cost a “Wheel of Fortune” contestant thousands in prize money. Angie Gautney, a teacher from North DeLand, Florida, appeared on Wednesday’s episode of the beloved game show, in which two tricky letters nearly separated her from taking home $7,300.

Reluctantly teamed with some of the world’s best operatives (Aubrey Plaza, Cary Elwes, Bugzy Malone), Fortune and his crew recruit Hollywood’s biggest movie star Danny Francesco (Josh Hartnett) to help them on their globe-trotting undercover mission to save the world.As the title “Ruse de guerre” (ruse of war) suggests, there’s plenty of scheming.

Guy Ritchie‘s new movie Operation Fortune: Ruse de Guerre is now in theaters and lots of fans are ready for an action-comedy to be back in the cinema.

2019’s “The Gentlemen,” he’d have the usually dapper Hugh Grant play a sleazy journalist who refers to England only as “Angleterre” in an East End accent, and in 2021’s “Wrath of Man” he showcased frequent collaborator Jason Statham’s ability to switch from hilarious to killing machine.With this director, we’re never so much watching an espionage or crime movie as enjoying another off-the-rails Guy Ritchie attraction. That is, until “Operation Fortune,” the co-writer and director’s most uninspired movie in a minute. Lazily bopping around to exotic locales like Cannes, France, Antalya, Turkey, and Doha, Qatar, it’s a generic collage of mega-yachts, luxe hotels, fancy parties, disguised identities and tame fights that add up to a big nothing.Worry not about your blood pressure at “Ruse de guerre.” One chase scene in sunny Antalya, with actor Max Beesley on a vespa, is downright soothing.

When a movie gets tangled up in all kinds of financial problems, delayed for over a year, played out internationally, sent straight to streaming in Canada, and then finally getting the green light to open in the U.S. via a new distributor and thrown into theaters with virtually no notice or time to mount a marketing campaign, you have to think there must be something very wrong here.
