2020 has been such a stressful year that even cool and calm Pat Sajak has gone over the edge. He 'yelled' at a 'Wheel of Fortune' contestant, saying he's 'had it' with 'ungrateful players.'
We’re finally in the home stretch for this awful year of 2020 to come to a close. Even Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak has lost it, claiming he’s “had it” with the contestants on the show and had a blow up at one of them…sort of. A contestant named Darin McBain solved a puzzle for things that begin with the word “kitchen” on the Nov. 24 broadcast. He got “Cabinet, oven, towels, sink,” but made a snarky observation, “Kitchen oven? What was that? Who calls it a kitchen oven?” and Pat was not having it!
Oh my @patsajak almost lost it on this dude #WheelOfFortune

“Yeah, where else would you keep an oven?” Pat shot back, as Darin responded, “For sure in the kitchen, but who calls it a ‘kitchen oven?'” with a little bit of a smart aleck tone.”You won. Don’t argue Darin! You got the puzzle,” a frustrated sounding Pat told him, motioning his arms in frustration.
The 74-year-old’s voice then grew even higher with emotion, saying, “Ungrateful players! I’ve had it!” and seeming to pound his hand down on the rail in front of him for a dramatic effect. But it was all in good fun, as his voice quickly dropped to his normal smooth hosting tone, saying, “No, I’m just teasing. I finally snapped!”
When the round was finally over, Pat apologized and said, “I’m sorry I yelled at you Darin, I just don’t remember your mother giving us trouble like this.” The contestant Darin’s mom was a three-day champion on the show in 1982, a year after Pat became the host of Wheel of Fortune.
Fans at home were loving Pat’s momentary loss of composure. User @russian98 tweeted the video and wrote, “Oh my
@patsajak almost lost it on this dude #WheelOfFortune.” Viewer @Sjladuke75Susan told Pat to “chill,” tweeting, “I thought I was the only one questioning this ‘kitchen oven’ answer. Pat’s acting like he’s paying out the money. #ChillPat #DarinsRight #KitchenOven.” User @ericharley got a laugh over the whole appliance name brouhaha, tweeting, “Cooking in my ‘kitchen oven.’ But I’m seriously considering a living room oven. Thanks for the idea, @patsajak! Happy Thanksgiving to all!!”
