It has not been a good week for game shows!
First, this preschool teacher infuriated Finding Nemo fans by not knowing the color of the charcter Dory on Who Wants to be a Millionaire.
And now, Pat Sajak, host of Wheel of Fortune, has fired up fans for making fun of a contestant's speech impediment.
Not a good look.
But over the past several months, Sajak's behavior has been worrying some fans.
This all started when he snapped at a player in November, calling him "ungrateful."
He had been tasked with coming up with words that started with the word "kitchen."
While he was able to correctly guess "cabinet," "towels," "oven," and "sink," it was "kitchen oven" that struck a nerve.
"What was that? Who calls it a 'kitchen oven?'"
This was when Pat snapped. "Don't! You won! Don't argue, Darin! ... You got the puzzle. Ungrateful players! I've had it!”
It is definitely one of those moments that people will be talking about for a LONG time.
"Pat should be grateful that anyone still watches his tired, washed up old game show," one tweeted.
"I'm sorry I yelled at you, Darin. I just don't remember your mother giving us trouble like that," he said.
He was referring to the fact that Darin's mother was a three-day champion on the show back in 1982.
Back in December, he faced backlash for chastising a contestant who interrupted him a couple of times during the show.
One time in particular, the contestant, Sheryl Senet, interrupted a sponsor plug. “Never, never interrupt,” the host scolded. “Never interrupt a plug!”
"Did Pat stop drinking caffeine this week or something? He’s had ZERO patience and I’m pretty sure he genuinely hates Sheryl. #WheelOfFortune," one wrote.
This happened on Monday's episode of the game show.
During the player introductions, contestant Chris Brimble spoke with a noticeable lisp while describing himself and his job.
After the episode aired, viewers of the show took to Sajak's latest tweet to air out their grievances.
“How nice for those who have lived such exemplary lives that they can express glee when others have their lives ruined by a mistake, real or perceived.”
The tweet, however, has since been deleted.
Regardless, people were NOT happy with what had happened.
“Hopefully you learned by your mistake and stop making fun of those with a lisp,” one viewer responded.
"I find it appalling that you do that kind of crap," they continued.
"I am glad you did not and do not know the 'teasing' that I have had to politely accept my whole life," they continued.
Some viewers even began boycotting the show until Pat makes a public apology.
So far, the host has yet to comment on the situation.
We'll just have to wait and see whether he addresses it and apologizes.
What do you think about his latest mistake? Do you think people have the right to call him out?
