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.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves. One such example is drinking more matcha, especially if you really like coffee or think you have a caffeine addiction.
