'Wheel Of Fortune' Contestant's Very Incorrect NSFW Guess Has The Internet In Stitches

A Wheel of Fortune contestant had audiences gasping after he shouted a NSFW answer in an attempt to solve an innocuous "phrase" puzzle.

On the May 23 episode of America's favorite wholesome game show, a contestant named Tavaris did his darndest to solve a puzzle for a four-word phrase.

The puzzle board appeared with the letters I, T, E, B, T, and ! with eight blank spaces left.

While the available letters weren't much to go on, the fourth word starting with "B" and ending with "T" made Tavaris cocksure enough to solve the puzzle and click the buzzer.

When host Pat Sajak called on Tavaris to declare his answer, the contestant responded with conviction:

"Right in the butt!"

Tavaris didn't nail it.

A fellow contestant immediately shrieked, "What?!" as the stunned audience gasped and then laughed over Tavaris's penetrating response.

"No," said Sajak deadpanned. He then called on a contestant named Blake, who clicked the buzzer and correctly responded:

“This is the best!”

It certainly was.

An embarrassed Tavaris told Blake, “Much better answer.”

As the game resumed and Sajak introduced the other contestants, he turned to Tavaris and commented:

“Well, Tavaris, you’ve already made an impression on us.”

To which Tavaris replied:

“I apologize, Pat. I was a little excited.”

Sajak quipped:

“We’ll figure out a way to handle that tastefully. I have no idea what that’ll be, but...”

The audience was left howling.

So were social media users.

One viewer said Tavaris just became the "greatest game show contestant of all-time" and threw shade at Ken Jennings, who was the highest-earning American game show contestant after having competed in Wheel's rival game show Jeopardy!, which he now permanently hosts.

Viewers continued LOLing online.

It wasn't lost on users that there weren't enough spaces in the first word of the puzzle to accommodate the word "right."

Viewers remained slack-jawed.

Well, you can't blame a guy for trying.
