A Wheel of Fortune fan uploaded a wild clip on Twitter.

Not almost two minutes clip, the three players struggled to answer the puzzle, What are you doing?

The correct answer was: “Rent a pedal boat”.

With the most letters on the board, one contestant chose the wrong letter, W.

Another contestant spun the Ferris wheel, even though she was told she “didn’t need to.”

Co-host Vanna White, 67, came on stage and clapped as the trio fought.

Two players incorrectly answered: “Renting a pedal boat.”

Finally, contestant Seann answered correctly.

“There it is! It’s a pedal!” Pat, 77, celebrated.

THE COMMENTS

Fans took to the comments section and mocked the game show host.

“I have many more of these saves. And while what the contestants say is amusing, most of the time. It’s what or how [Pat] reacts or responds that makes the moment truly hilarious,” joked one fan.

“‘What are you doing?’ It’s a perfect category for this, my God,” scoffed a second fan.

“I know Pat was freaking out,” said a third fan.

“Damn. Painful,” wrote a fourth person.

“The show will live on, but for me it will never be the same without [Pat]” said one commentator.

THE FINAL EPISODE

The throwback scene occurred after the game show host said goodbye to the masses.

On Friday, the 77-year-old presenter told the contestants he was canceling the round because he had something to say.

“Well, the time has come to say goodbye,” he told the camera.

“I have some thanks and thanks before I go and I want to start with everyone watching.”

“It has been an incredible privilege to be invited into millions of homes night after night, year after year, decade after decade,” continued Pat.

“And I always felt that privilege came with the responsibility of keeping this daily half hour a safe place for family fun.”

Pat praised his wife, Lesley, and mentioned that “the best part of the last few years” was working with his daughter, Maggie Sajak, 29, who is the show’s social media correspondent.

Vanna gave her one last hug as the audience applauded.

American Idol host Ryan Seacrest, 29, is expected to replace Pat and begin hosting Wheel of Fortune in September 2024.
