‘Wheel of Fortune’ Contestant Fails Hilarious Riddle That Somehow Involves Sausages

A “Wheel of Fortune” contestant came up with the bratwurst answer imaginable.

During the November 11 episode of the popular game show, a contestant named Will attempted to solve the riddle “Give yourself a round of applause.” More than half the letters were already filled when he guessed “Treat yourself to a round of sausages”, the last in a series of long line of ridiculously poor guesses this practically ensured his induction into the Wrong Answers Hall of Fame, if such a thing existed.

After host Ryan Seacrest revealed that Will’s answer was wrong, Kitina correctly solved the puzzleprompting Seacrest to have fun with Will.

“I prefer yours,” he said. “That seems better than just clapping now.”

After the match, Will spoke with social media correspondent Maggie Sajak, who called his guess a “misresolution” about his mistake.

“I tell you, when the lights are on, and you know, the stars and Ryan Seacrest, Vanna White, I went blank. But if your retired dad watches this show, maybe have a beer and laugh, it was worth it,” he joked of Sajak’s father: Pat Sajak, former host of “Wheel of Fortune.”

Will also alluded to his job and how he was bound to be the butt of some jokes.

“And I’m sure I’ll have sausages in my locker and in my police car when I get back, so we’re going to try to have some fun with that,” he said before Seacrest came over for him sign a reminder card. .
