00:03 We can't look away at this hilarious moment of Pat Sajak having the last laugh.
00:10 During one of the toss-up rounds on the show's May 27th episode, as the letters start to
00:15 populate on the board, contestant Rufus Cumberlander buzzes in to guest.
00:21 "Rufus, don't look away!
00:23 No, no, no, no, no, no!"
00:27 While the three are too busy celebrating what they thought was the right answer, they fail
00:32 to realize that the puzzle was still unsolved.
00:35 But it looks like Pat has the last laugh.
00:38 "It's not correct!
00:40 Everybody's congratulating everybody.
00:43 And we get to keep the money!
00:48 It was nice of you to congratulate him."
00:52 The hilarious moment comes just a few days after another Wheel of Fortune moment had
00:57 people all over social media reacting.
01:00 On the May 23rd episode of the iconic game show, contestant Tavaris Williams left the
01:06 crowd and Pat Sajak speechless when he answered the toss-up puzzle with this answer.
01:12 "Tyrer, everybody grab those devices.
01:14 Let's do it.
01:15 Our first toss-up is worth $1,000.
01:17 Category is phrase.
01:19 And off we go."
01:20 "Tavaris, right in the butt.
01:31 What?
01:33 No."
01:36 And Pat, who is enjoying his last season as Wheel of Fortune host, made sure to let Tavaris
01:42 know the impression he made.
01:44 "Tavaris, you've already made an impression on us.
01:46 I apologize, Pat.
01:47 I was a little excited."
01:49 "No, we'll figure out a way to handle that tastefully.
01:53 I have no idea what that'll be."
01:55 As for Pat Sajak, the longtime host is gearing up for his final spin on the Wheel of Fortune
02:01 after almost 40 years.
02:04 The 76-year-old announced in June of 2023 that he will be stepping down from his role
02:10 as the game show's host at the end of the season.
02:13 He said in a statement to E! News at the time, quote, "Well, the time has come.
02:18 I've decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last.
02:24 It's been a wonderful ride and I'll have more to say in the coming months.
02:28 Many thanks to you all."
02:30 Just over two weeks after Pat shared he's exiting, Ryan Seacrest announced he'll be

02:38 Ryan shared the news to social media on June 27th, writing, quote, "I'm truly humbled
02:43 to be stepping into the footsteps of the legendary Pat Sajak.
02:47 I can say, along with the rest of America, that it's been a privilege and pure joy
02:53 to watch Pat and Vanna on our television screens for an unprecedented 40 years, making us smile
03:00 every night and feel right at home with them."
