Pat Sajak wants viewers to show some compassion. The 75-year-old longtime host of the popular game show took to Twitter on Wednesday after a moment in Tuesday's show went viral. Three contestants on Tuesday's show — Laura, Christopher, and Thomas — all tried to solve a nearly complete puzzle, the answer to which was the popular idiom, «Another feather in your cap.» After Laura guessed, «Another feather in your hat,» all three hopefuls struggled to complete the puzzle properly, trying «map» and «lap» until Thomas finally got the right answer. The moment garnered lots of criticism and online ridicule with many calling it a «fail» and @TodayInSports calling it the «worst 2 minutes in the history of .»Worst 2 minutes in the history of Wheel of Fortune pic.twitter.com/vGUnldCzVwSajak quickly came to the contestants' defense, tweeting, «It always pains me when nice people come on our show to play a game and win some money and maybe fulfill a lifelong dream, and are then subject to online ridicule when they make a mistake or something goes awry.»Specifically calling out the «feather in your cap» puzzle, Sajak added, «Sitting at home, it seems incredible that they couldn’t solve it, but I knew in real time what was happening.»He noted that a lot of people incorrectly use the phrase, «feather in your hat» and said the contestants were «stunned» when the guess was wrong. «Now imagine you’re on national TV, and you’re suddenly thrown a curve and you begin getting worried about looking stupid, and if the feather isn’t in your hat, where the heck can it be? You start flailing away looking for alternatives rather than synonyms for 'hat,'» he explained.
Dana Carvey updates status of friendship with Wayne's World co-star Mike Myers after alleged feud
12.02.2022 - 01:43 / wonderwall.com
The Howard Stern Show this week, Dana said the men's sometimes fraught relationship has "come full circle.""We've become very, very close friends. We just have too much history, we have an unbelievable amount of stuff in common … then we had so much shared history together riding the rocket of Wayne's World," he said. In the past, Dana said he was upset at Mike's Dr.
Evil character from "Austin Powers," which was based on Dana's impression of "SNL" creator Lorne Michaels. That's all water under the bridge, as Dana chalked up their reconciliation to maturity."The only good thing about getting old is you just sort of, you get a little more wisdom, you get a little more perspective and you practice forgiveness for others and for yourself," he told Howard.One of the catalysts for their friendship was a Super Bowl commercial they did last year.
The former "SNL" stars became closer after spending time together again. "It's very nice to have such a long friendship with someone," he continued. "I just feel like I came to know him in a much better way as we've been really, really talking a lot in these last couple years and put him in context, understand him and just really appreciate him."Interestingly, the men were never supposed to be forever linked. "Mike and I became a comedy team by accident, we were in a sketch, it became a movie, 'What does Garth do? What does Wayne do?', so there was conflict over how that was going to come together but we were just riding that rocket," he added.
"It wasn't personal."Following a historic week on "Wheel of Fortune," Pat Sajak is denying speculation of foul play. For the first time ever, three consecutive contestants won the $100,000 prize this week.
