“Wheel of Fortune” candidate speaks out after wrong answer goes viral

A “Wheel of Fortune” contestant gave a hilarious — and some say the best — wrong answer to a letterboard puzzle during Monday night's game show.

With some of the letters already solved, contestant Will Jordan confidently spoke up and declared, “I want to solve the puzzle,” before replying, “Treat yourself to a round of sausage.”

However, the correct sentence was actually: “Give yourself a round of applause.”

A clip of the hilarious moment was shared on the long-running game show's Instagram account in a video post, along with the caption: “Playing Wheel of Fortune on stage is a very different game than at home, but Will was a great sport.” Wrong decision!”

Jordan also told Wheel of Fortune social correspondent Maggie Sajak after the show that being on stage was a completely new feeling for him.

“I'm telling you, when the lights are on and, you know, the stars and Ryan Seacrest, Vanna White…I just go blank,” Jordan said. “But if your father (former 'Wheel of Fortune' host Pat Sajak) watches the show in retirement, maybe drinks a beer and laughs, then it's worth it.”

“When I get back I'll definitely have sausages in my locker and in the police car, so we'll try to have some fun with it,” Jordan added.
