Rashad Jennings was just one letter away from solving a puzzle involving director Quentin Tarantino—and he fumbled it badly.

Former New York Giants running back Rashad Jennings epically fumbled trying to solve a Wheel of Fortune puzzle involving a famous Hollywood director.

On Wednesday's Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, with one letter left to solve the puzzle, Jennings couldn't figure out that the phrase "Driving to Reno with _uentin Tarantino" should be completed with the letter Q.


The puzzle was, of course, referring to Academy Award-winning director and screenwriter Quentin Tarantino–who is known for films like Pulp Fiction (1994), Django Unchained (2012), and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019).

Although the accomplished filmmaker is familiar to most general contemporary-moviegoing audiences, it's not entirely shocking that there are people, let alone a pro athlete, who would not be familiar with Quentin Tarantino.

With a $4,050 winnings tally, Jennings chose to go for another spin and guessed the letter P would solve the puzzle.

The audience audibly groaned in disappointment after rooting for Jennings, who thought "Puentin" Tarantino was a real person.

Here is the clip.

Social media users face-palmed.







At least he's still a champ.

After announcing his retirement from the NFL on December 8, 2017, Jennings went on to dominate in another competitive field with Season 24 of Dancing with the Stars.

He was paired with professional dancer Emma Slater, and together they won the competition on May 23, 2017.

Democratic Rep. Says What We're All Thinking About Trump's 'Beyond Insane' Cabinet Picks

Democratic Massachusetts Representative Jim McGovern gave his blunt assessment of President-elect Donald Trump's bizarre Cabinet picks thus far, calling them "beyond insane."

With Trump recently having picked Matt Gaetz (who faces sex trafficking accusations) for attorney general, Tulsi Gabbard (who has ignited concerns due to her ties to Russia) for director of national intelligence, and Pete Hegseth (a Fox News host accused of sexual assault) for secretary of defense, and Robert F. Kennedy Jr. (an antivaxxer and conspiracy theorist) for secretary of health and human services, Senate Republicans are very much divided on confirming them.
