Most contestants on game shows proudly tell everyone to watch when they win. But for Wheel of Fortune contestant Matt, things were a little more complicated.
Even though he won $23,350, viewers couldn’t stop talking about one huge mistake he made during a puzzle round. The category was “People,” and after correctly choosing the letter “N,” Matt guessed an answer that didn’t even include the letter at all.
The puzzle looked like this:
T H _ N _ _ T
_ _ N _ R _ T _ _ N
The correct answer? “The Next Generation.”
Despite the hilarious blunder, Matt still walked away as the episode’s big winner.
