'Wheel of Fortune' contestant's 'Streetcar' fail earns instant viral fame
Published in Weird News
March 22 (UPI) -- A Wheel of Fortune contestant might not be a Tennessee Williams fan, but he's sure to never forget one of the writer's best-known plays -- at least, not again.
A contestant named Kevin was launched to instant viral fame Tuesday night when he was called on to guess the final missing letter of the puzzle: "A STREETCAR NA_ED DESIRE."
Kevin was met with a silence followed by gasps and groans from the audience when he called out his letter: "K."
A competitor named Lisa profited from Kevin's mistake, solving the puzzle with the actual name of Williams' 1947 play: "A Streetcar Named Desire."
Host Pat Sajak joked about Kevin's mistake in congratulating Lisa.
"Although you got the right answer," he said. I'd rather see Kevin's play.
