ACTRESS Krysten Ritter is being attacked by game show fans for not knowing who Travis or Jason Kelce are.
On Monday, the Celebrity Wheel of Fortune contestant struggled bafflingly in a puzzle about the famous football-playing brothers.

Krysten, of Jessica Jones fame, competed in the special against Schitt’s Creek’s Sarah Levy and designer Christian Siriano.
They were faced with a seemingly doable puzzle in the “Family” category.
The letters almost filled in the entire puzzle and it was clear that Krysten didn’t know the NFL’s most famous brothers.
Pat Sajak, 77, joked, “We’re getting there,” as Kyrsten continued spinning and exclaimed, “Am I brain dead?!”

“Uh, if you’re still having trouble here, go ahead and spin,” Pat added perplexedly when only two letters were blank (the “K” and “C” in “KELCE”)
Finally, the board said “TRAVIS AND JASON _ELCE,” so there was only one letter left, but Krysten spun instead of solving.
“What’s that word?” designer Christian could be heard saying with a wink as Pat laughed.

Credit where it’s due, Krysten guessed a “K,” finishing the puzzle, and Pat asked her to “read what’s up there.”
When it came time to settle, Krysten mispronounced her brothers’ last name.
“Travis and Jason Kels,” she said, admitting, “I don’t know who they are!”
‘IT’S A TAYLOR SWIFT THING’
Pat decided to award her the puzzle despite the incorrect pronunciation.
All three players looked lost and Pat asked Sarah to “explain the Taylor Swift thing.”
Sarah explained to her opponent that they are “football players” and one of them was Taylor Swift’s boyfriend.
“It’s the Taylor Swift thing. Unfortunately, it’s the only reason I know who [they are]. Is it Travis Kelce? One plays for the Chiefs.”
“Is Travis Kelce she’s dating?” Sarah asked.
“Ohhh,” Christian said, so it wasn’t clear if he knew the answer either.
“You’ll read it in the local papers,” Pat joked.
‘THIS WAS PAINFUL’
The player’s inability to recognize the Kelce brothers sent the internet spinning.
“They’re joking, the three of them didn’t know who they were haha! Please!” one commented on X.
“CELEBRITY WHEEL OF FORTUNE ARE YOU KIDDING ME” Omg that was painful to watch,” wrote another.
Wheel of Fortune Host Timeline
Debuting in 1975, the beloved game show has had a few different iconic hosts over its nearly 50 seasons.
“It took a minute for the @WheelofFortune celebrity guests to guess the “family” puzzle, but here in #Cincinnati, we all knew it right away,” wrote a third from Cincinnati.
“Watching celebrity Wheel of Fortune and just want to know what conditions these celebrities are living in,” wrote a fourth.
Krysten, playing for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital, ended up winning big – $48,250 for charity.
