'Wheel Of Fortune' Viewers Stunned After Excited Contestant Tries To 'Twerk' On Pat Sajak
Just about everyone has seen Wheel of Fortune. That's because the show has been around since 1975. In fact, the show celebrated its 48th anniversary on January 6th.
In that time, show host Pat Sajak has seen many things. He has seen many contestants win and lose. However, on occasion, contestants can still surprise Sajak.
Recently, Jamie McMahon Carrillo got so excited after solving the bonus round puzzle that she attempted to "twerk" right up against Sajak.
Or as Sajak put it:
Did she just butt bump me?
\u201cWhen you're so excited you decide to butt bump Pat Sajak \ud83d\udc80\u201d— Wheel of Fortune (@Wheel of Fortune) 1672966832
The move, which was more like a vigorous wiggle than an actual twerk, received a lot of attention on Twitter.
Most commenters found the move amusing.
\u201c@WheelofFortune I thought it was hilarious! I was like did she twerk on him?? LOL!! What do I know though, I did tell Pat "What Up Doe" back in October. LOL!!\u201d— Wheel of Fortune (@Wheel of Fortune) 1672966832

\u201c\u201cWheel of Fortune\u201d was one twerk away from \u201cWheel Of Friction.\u201d\u201d— Houck (@Houck) 1672972371
\u201c@WheelofFortune I thought she was adorable and one of the most entertaining contestants I've ever seen. Lol. Loved her sense of humor/quirkiness. She wasn't trying to "hit" on Pat. She was funny!\u201d— Wheel of Fortune (@Wheel of Fortune) 1672966832
Other comments found the dance move to be less than appropriate.
\u201c@WheelofFortune Please pull this tweet. I know she probably did it innocently but uhm, no ma'am. Do NOT do this to a married man who is not your husband. Especially mine, k thanks.\u201d— Wheel of Fortune (@Wheel of Fortune) 1672966832
\u201c@WheelofFortune I saw that tonight. I was so embarrassed for her. The things you do and then regret later. \ud83d\ude02\u201d— Wheel of Fortune (@Wheel of Fortune) 1672966832
\u201c@Bliz155 Mad uncomfortable\u201d— Karim Bliz Johnson (@Karim Bliz Johnson) 1672967278
\u201c@WheelofFortune That was WIERD\u201d— Wheel of Fortune (@Wheel of Fortune) 1672966832
Some people even suggested her move was Covid-19 related.
\u201c@WheelofFortune It was probably a COVID-19 defensive move. She was excited and instead of touching with a high-5 hand to hand, she knew she could not spread it with a butt bump. \ud83e\udd14\ud83e\udd14\ud83e\udd23\ud83e\udd23\ud83d\ude31\u201d— Wheel of Fortune (@Wheel of Fortune) 1672966832
It's clear from the video that Sajak wasn't sure what to make of the move, but he handled it well. Out of all of the strange and unusual things that have happened on Wheel of Fortune, this may have been one of the most...entertaining.
