We've all had little slip-ups at work, and for the most part, things work out okay.

But game show host and household name, Pat Sajak, must have been holding his breath after his slip-up during a recent episode of Wheel of Fortune.

During a bonus round on the famous game show, the contestant had 6 of the 12 letters to work with.

As the final letter, the letter "A," was revealed, Sajak could be heard taking a harsh breath off-screen while the contestant appeared disheartened.

Sajak responded:

"Yikes. Well, I'd rather be standing here than there, quite frankly."

Wait. Did Pat Sajak just say "quite frankly"?

Yes, he did, which also happened to be the answer to the question.

You can watch the big "oops" moment here:

Fortunately for Sajak, the contestant didn't catch what he said and use the answer. But unfortunately for the contestant, he didn't wind up figuring it out for himself, either.

Sajak confided later he had said the answer accidentally and hadn't meant to aid the contestant in any way over other contestants.

But true to Sajak form, he also used the moment as an opportunity to joke about himself.

"I [realized what I said] right after I said it."
"I wonder how many people at home caught it."
"But you know, in setting up the thing, there weren't that many letters up there, so I said, 'I'd rather be here than there, quite frankly,' which was the puzzle!"

To audible gasps from the audience, Sajak quipped:

"But it just goes to show you that people are concentrating, and they aren't paying any attention to me."
"And you know, he didn't get it. And there was no reason he should just based on that. But it's funny what your mind, what your brain, what your mouth will say and that your brain says, 'You shouldn't do that!'"

Viewers enjoyed the little slip-up.

It's always disappointing when a contestant doesn't figure an answer out, especially when viewers at home have. But it's probably for the best for Sajak, since skeptics at home may have wondered if he was trying to assist a contestant.

But it just goes to show we all have our moments, and the best thing to do, quite frankly, is to find a way to laugh at it or see a silver lining.

Lindsey Graham Sparks Fury After Suggesting That Trump Could Be The Next Pope

After President Donald Trump jokingly told reporters that he'd "like to be pope" following the death of Pope Francis, South Carolina Republican Senator Lindsey Graham threw himself behind Trump's remarks, which came after Trump already raised the ire of critics for seemingly falling asleep at the Pope's funeral.

Trump said that he himself "would be my number one choice" to be the next pope after he was asked who he’d like to see become the next pontiff. That would never, ever happen—and disrespects the billions of Catholics around the world who are in mourning—but Graham suggested it was a good idea in a post on X.

Trump Bizarrely Clashes With Reporter Over Photoshopped 'Tattoo' On Abrego Garcia's Knuckles

President Donald Trump sparked criticism after claiming during an interview with ABC News’ Terry Moran that an edited photo depicting tattoos of wrongly-deported Maryland father Kilmar Abrego Garcia showed that he has an alleged connection to the MS-13 gang.

Abrego Garcia, a Salvadoran national who arrived in the U.S. in 2012, was labeled a threat in 2019 due to an alleged connection to MS-13. He spent months in detention before an immigration judge found he had a credible fear of persecution—not from MS-13, but from a rival group, Barrio 18, which he said had been extorting his family.

Leavitt Lashes Out At Amazon Over 'Hostile' Plan To Display Added Tariff Costs For Products On Website

White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt lashed out at Amazon over news that the commerce giant planned to display increased "import charges" on items on their Amazon Haul website, essentially showing to customers the extra money they'd have to shell out as a result of President Donald Trump's tariffs.

Trump has escalated a growing trade war by imposing tariffs of up to 145% on Chinese imports, prompting China to retaliate with its own 125% tariffs on American goods. Additionally, the U.S. has slapped a 10% tax on imports from most other countries, while temporarily suspending higher rates for several nations for 90 days.

In the end, Canadian voters returned the Liberal Party to power for a fourth consecutive term, although Prime Minister Mark Carney will lead a minority government, according to projections from CNN’s broadcast partner CBC.
