The Man Responsible For One Of The Most Embarrassing TV Game Show Moments Explains His Thought Process 😱

Yeah, it didn't go over well with the viewing audience.

The video has been viewed over a million times, adding to Kaufman's humiliation. He took to Twitter this week to set the record straight and explain how his brain made such a colossal mistake.

People understood, and cut Kaufman some slack, even if they keep laughing at him.

And in this funny twist:

Sometimes it feels good to laugh at our big stupid brains.
