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.

We already knew that ChatGPT could be a problem regarding critical thinking and creativity, so maybe we should have anticipated the mindsets that would develop, snubbing independent thinking when tools like ChatGPT are available.

Disney princesses are usually known for their whimsical singing and befriending creatures from all across the animal kingdom, but Princess Rapunzel at Tokyo DisneySea may have misunderstood the assignment.

Earlier this week, Rapunzel was caught on video at DisneySea in Tokyo, but she didn't go viral for her cheery demeanor or her singing voice, which passers-by can hear from the base of her elegant tower. Rather, it was a pair of intruders who put her in the spotlight.

And a TikToker has followed that lead by developing a chart that predicts a man's political persuasion based on his hair alone—and bald men are NOT happy about it.

Republicans Slammed For Soulless One-Word Response To Democrats' Trans Day Of Visibility Tweet

According to research by the Williams Institute at UCLA School of Law, transgender people in the United States were over four times more likely than cisgender people to be victims of violent crime based on statistics from 2017-2018. A study by the non-profit Everytown for Gun Safety found the number of trans people murdered in the U.S. nearly doubled between 2017and 2021.

In the last 5–9 years, those figures have only increased as the Republican Party has made trans people the target of many of their political campaigns and legislative actions.

Pete Hegseth Slammed After Calling Off Investigation Into Army Helicopter Fly-By At Kid Rock's House

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth was criticized for calling off the U.S. Army's investigation after MAGA musician Kid Rock posted a video of an Army Apache helicopter doing a fly-by at his Nashville home.

In the brief clip, a helicopter that appears to be an AH-64 Apache—an attack helicopter used by the U.S. Army and National Guard—flies at low altitude near his estate in Whites Creek.
