SAJAK SLIPS UP, QUITE FRANKLY

Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak accidentally gave away the bonus round answer during Thursday’s broadcast of the game show. Sajak was speaking to a contestant when the letters “___ TE _ RAN _L_” were left in a puzzle. “I’d rather be standing here than there, quite frankly,” he said. “Quite frankly” was the answer, but the contestant didn’t seem to catch the slip-up and didn’t figure out the puzzle before time ran out. Sajak addressed the incident in a video that aired after the episode, telling cohost Vanna White he realized his mistake right as he said it. “I wonder how many people at home caught it,” he remarked. “... But it goes to show you that people are concentrating and they’re not paying any attention to me.” Sajak, 74, has been hosting Wheel of Fortune, the longest-running syndicated game show in the U.S., since 1982.
