'Wheel of Fortune' viewers laugh after Pat Sajak gives contestant a stern look over a pun
There's only room for one jokester on 'Wheel of Fortune'
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}Fans got a kick out of a playfully awkward moment between “Wheel of Fortune” host Pat Sajak and a contestant during Wednesday’s episode.
The moment in question came as the host was introducing that game’s crop of players. He concluded with Greg Wylie, a freelance project manager from California who has both a unique hobby as well as a crack sense of humor.
During their banter, Sajak noted that Wylie is a competitive historical fencing enthusiast.
{{#rendered}} {{/rendered}}“It’s more Renaissance outfits and we do competitive fencing tournaments, you can do multiple players on the field,” the contestant explained. “So basically I go out on the weekend and stab my friends. So, it’s very cathartic.”
Sajak then pivoted to Wylie’s marriage of 14 years and his teenage daughter.
