If you aced the contest or just scraped by, you’d want to show off. But what if you goofed up big time? Would you slink away in shame or crack a smile?
Matt, a “Wheel of Fortune” contestant, made what could be the show’s all-time blooper. He pocketed $23,350 after a showy performance. But his colossal blunder stole the whole episode’s thunder.
The task was to crack a word puzzle pronto. It was a three-word phrase in the “people” category. Matt had two moves: guess a letter or the whole sentence. He went for the letter “N.” Now the puzzle read: N_ T – _ N _ R _ T _ _ N TH_.
Matt took a sec to mull it over. Then, to everyone’s shock, he blurted out “The Greatest Buttercut.” Not a single “N” in sight! The right answer? “THE NEXT GENERATION.” Check out the hilarious goof here.
