Contestant's Embarrassing Fail on 'Wheel of Fortune'

Everything was going just fine for contestant Sima on Tuesday’s Wheel of Fortune. She was taking her last spin before solving an almost-finished puzzle. But her spin landed on “Bankrupt,” and the turn went to the next contestant. It seemed certain that Kevin would solve it as there was only one letter left in “A STREETCAR NA_ED DESIRE.” However, the answer, “A Streetcar Named Desire,” was obvious to everyone except Kevin, who spun the wheel and asked for a ‘K.’ The audience let out a startled gasp, and Pat Sajak issued the disappointing “No” to poor Kevin before turning over the board to Lisa, who managed to get the correct answer.

Given the steamy nature of Tennessee William’s famous play, it’s not too hard to imagine that some off-off-off-off Broadway theater has presented a naked version. And apparently there’s at least one person who’d pay money to see it. Pat Sajak quipped to the winner, “Although you got the right answer, I’d rather see Kevin’s play.”

‘Wheel of Fortune’ airs weeknights. See local listings for details.
