Viewers think Wheel of Fortune contestant Will Jordan may have given the 'worst wrong answer in gameshow history' during a recent episode.
The Connecticut man featured on Monday's (11 November) showing alongside Kitina Thomas and Chantel Toran, all of whom were playing for the jackpot.
TV host Ryan Seacrest was on hand to ask the group if they could figure out the missing letters to a pretty common phrase, as the tiles read: "_ _ _ E _OURSE_F A ROUN_ OF A_ _ _ AUSE."

Quick to put his hand up, Will came up with the most incredibly wrong guess.
Watch below:
Viewers were stunned when Will answered with: 'Treat yourself a round of sausage', which was clearly not the answer, no matter how much we wanted it to be.

After all, you can't beat a good German bratwurst at the Christmas markets.
If you haven't figured it out yet, the correct answer was 'Give yourself a round of applause', guessed by fellow contestant Kitina.
"Will, I kind of like yours better," the host joked.
"That sounds better than just clapping right now."

Maggie Sajak, the daughter of former host Pat Sajak, said: "Alright Will, we had a little missolve in the first game.
"That’s okay! Could you walk me through how you’re feeling?"
And to be fair to Will, he took it brilliantly, adding: "I tell you, when the lights are on, and you know, the stars and Ryan Seacrest, Vanna White... I just went blank.

"But, if your dad, in retirement, is watching this show, maybe cracks a beer and gets a laugh, it was worth it."
The clip has been shared thousands of times on social media, as the show captioned their post: "Playing 'Wheel of Fortune' on stage is a whole different ball game than playing at home, but Will was a great sport about his missolve! #misssolve #WheelOfFortune."
Thankfully, Will didn't leave empty-handed, winning a whopping $8,000 (£6,296) by finishing in third place.

Runner-up Kitina got $10,500 (£8,263), while winner Chantel got $13,000 (£10,230).
Commenting on the blunder on X, one fan said: "I was SCREAMING at the TV!! That wasn’t the only ridiculous flub he made!!!"
7News also tweeted: "This could go down as one of the worst guesses on the Wheel of Fortune of all time."
While another added: "So funny! I bet it’s hard when the cameras and lights are on you."
"Happens to everyone, but that’s funny. The way he held back a laugh too. Whoops," someone else penned.
