Wheel of Fortune Sensation Will Jordan put a positive spin on his colossal failure earlier this week. Instead of running from the incident on air, he celebrated its appearance with a 100-person watch party and the local news to see how the sausage was made.

On the Monday, Nov. 11, episode, Jordan, a 23-year Coast Guard veteran and now police officer from Wethersfield, Conn., pulled off what the Internet has dubbed the most hilarious wrong guess ever. He called to answer a “Phrase” riddle. Only a few letters were blank and the correct answer was “Applause”. However, Jordan guessed wrongly: “Treat yourself to a round of sausages.” » Immediately, her compatriot Kitina answered correctly. “Will, I prefer yours”, host Ryan Seacrest joked afterwards. It was the wrong answer heard around the world, joining “Right in the ass” in the WoF history books.

Jordan appeared in a segment on WNTH News 8 the day after. He presented his watch party when the episode aired with 100 of his closest friends at a local pub. WNTH sent a reporter who spoke to Jordan and his proud son, who encouraged his father to audition.

“Every night he watched the show, and he did it pretty well,” Shawn told the station. He put on a WoF t-shirt, while his father wore a matching one for the big occasion. Jordan admitted the taping was “overwhelming” compared to playing at home, but said all the staff members were “really nice.”

The segment then cut to everyone watching the fateful moment, with Jordan standing near a spotlight and his buddies, all holding their breath, seeming to expect something to happen. When “Treat Yourself to a Round of Sausage” came on, he walked towards a door and the room lit up with laughter.

“The wind cut my sail, didn’t it?” Jordan told WNTH, reflecting on the immortal response. “I’m like, ‘Oh my God, six to eight million people just looked at the wrong answer.’ And it’s also a bit funny, I must say. Nothing inappropriate. I heard a little gasp from the audience.

Jordan was seen making out with friends, one of whom wore a ‘Treat Yourself to a Round of Sausages’ apron. He also shared that he started a raffle for his local food bank, already raising $1,000.

A fan shared the local clip with a WoF Reddit forum, where others said they loved his sportsmanship and that he was using his 15 minutes for a good cause.

“It’s super cool that he turned his mistake into a charitable act.” He’s treating the community to a round of sausages,” one fan wrote.

“I should have asked him about the K…” wrote another.
