Wheel of Fortune contestant got the wrong answer with one letter to go

It was so obvious...
Wheel of Fortune

In one of the worst cases of “how did he miss this?” a contestant on the US game show Wheel of Fortune threw away $600 when he incorrectly guessed the missing letter in ‘A Streetcar Na_ed Desire’.

10 points to viewers at home who can guess the missing letter!

Contestant Kevin found himself an internet sensation when people watching expressed their disappointment that he guessed ‘k’ instead of ‘m’.

Host Pat Sajak eagerly awaited the correct answer, however after Kevin said the wrong letter, Pat couldn’t hide his frustration and exasperatedly responded “No,” as they moved on to the next contestant, Lisa, who thankfully guessed the correct letter, “m,” and solved the puzzle.

Pat joked when Lisa finally got the right answer (but honestly, how did they get down to one letter?) “Although you got the right answer, I’d rather see Kevin’s play.”

Enthusiastic watchers of Wheel of Fortune were quick to draw comparisons to this iconic TV moment.

And many were left shaking their heads at Kevin’s inability to guess the iconic Tennessee Williams play.

Lisa walked away $600 richer, while Kevin left as an internet meme, and probably went home to watch A Streetcar Named Desire.
