A \u201cWheel of Fortune\u201d contestant has taken the internet by storm after a hilariously wrong guess on Monday\u2019s episode that quickly went viral.<\/p>\n
The puzzle in question read: \u201c___E OURSE_F A ROUN OF A___AUSE,\u201d with just a few letters missing. The correct answer was \u201cGive yourself a round of applause.\u201d But when contestant Will Jordan took his turn, he confidently guessed: \u201cTreat yourself a round of sausage.\u201d As anyone watching can imagine, his answer was far from correct \u2014 and the moment quickly became internet gold.<\/p>\n
The clip of Jordan\u2019s comical \u201cmissolve\u201d has now been viewed over half a million times on X (formerly Twitter), leaving viewers in stitches. Fellow contestant Kitina Thomas correctly solved the puzzle shortly after, but the real fun came when host Ryan Seacrest couldn\u2019t resist joining in on the joke.<\/p>\n
\u201cWill, I kind of like yours better,\u201d Seacrest said. \u201cThat sounds better than just clapping right now.\u201d His lighthearted commentary only added to the hilarity of the moment.<\/p>\n
After the slip-up, Maggie Sajak, daughter of the show\u2019s legendary former host Pat Sajak, caught up with Jordan to get his thoughts on the mishap. The retired Coast Guard veteran, now working as a school resource officer in Connecticut, humbly explained his gaffe.<\/p>\n
\u201cI tell you, when the lights are on, and you know, the stars and Ryan Seacrest, Vanna White \u2026 I just went blank,\u201d Jordan acknowledged. \u201cBut if your dad, in retirement, is watching this show, maybe cracks a beer and gets a laugh, it was worth it.\u201d<\/p>\n
Maggie assured Jordan that her dad would definitely tune in, and Seacrest joined in with a special message for Jordan\u2019s family, holding up a cue card.<\/p>\n
\u201cPlaying \u2018Wheel of Fortune\u2019 live is a whole different ball game than playing at home, but Will was a great sport about his missolve!\u201d the show captioned the viral post.<\/p>\n
Jordan\u2019s lighthearted mistake has not only entertained fans but also sparked a charitable cause. As the holiday season approaches, he is using his newfound fame to encourage donations to the Rocky Hill Human Services Food Bank. The police department, where Jordan serves as a school resource officer, shared on social media that the viral moment has helped bring attention to the food bank\u2019s important work.<\/p>\n
Jordan himself joked that his mistake would likely lead to \u201csausages in my locker and police car,\u201d adding, \u201cWe\u2019ll try and have some fun with it.\u201d<\/p>\n
In a delicious twist, sausage company Johnsonville has even jumped on the \u201cround of sausage\u201d bandwagon. They are offering a free Johnsonville product to customers who share stories of kind acts they\u2019ve done or witnessed, using the hashtag #KeepTheInternetJuicy.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
