3. A major flub on Wheel of Fortune has everyone laughing
There have been some classic Wheel of Fortune mess ups over the years, but one from yesterday’s show has the internet in a frenzy. With every letter except one on the board, a contestant named Kevin guessed “A Streetcar NaKed Desire” instead of “A Streetcar Named Desire.” The lady that was up next cleaned up the game with ease.
