This ‘Wheel of Fortune’ Wrong Answer for Jurassic Park Is Hilarious

Game shows are an American institution, and one of the best parts of shows likeJeopardy!andFamily Feudis getting to watch contestants make hilariously wrong guesses. One of the funnier incorrect responses in recent memory happened onWheel of Fortunethis week, as a contestant named Tenaya lost out on thousands of dollars when ananswerwas all but handed to her.

But things did not turn out all bad for her, as host Pat Sajak reminded her that she was still going home with a nice chunk of change.

“It’s gonna be okay,”Sajak told her. “It really was fun having you here. I hope you had a good time, ’cause I did. $4,500 that round. You won $5,500.”
