I'm glad the editors left this one in. Last week, social media was left with jaws dropped after a Wheel Of Fortune contestant gave an NSFW answer. In case you missed it, we are not letting you skip out on this, so please relive it again. https://twitter.com/TayVictoria8/status/1793781611152257356?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw%7Ctwcamp%5Etweetembed%7Ctwterm%5E1793781611152257356%7Ctwgr%5Ef97ff4e554469a50a4c0a5693a0bc68fd31bf603%7Ctwcon%5Es1_&ref_url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.whiskeyriff.com%2F2024%2F05%2F24%2Fsocial-media-was-stunned-in-reacting-to-wheel-of-fortune-contestants-right-in-the-butt-puzzle-guess%2F The hilarious guess for the phrase left social media buzzing because, well, A) it's just downright funny, but B) because many couldn't believe producers left it in after edits. The editors had to have known that the moment was going to send views through the roof. The contestant who was responsible for the answer, Tavaris Williams, has spoken out since the viral incident. He appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! to chat about it and even disclosed that he wasn't sure if the moment was going to make the final cut of the game show. Williams told the late-night host that Pat Sajak was a good sport about it all and told him that the editors would "tactfully" edit it. “Pat was the best — he made me feel so great about that at the break. He said, ‘You know, we’ll find a tactful way of editing it. I don’t know how, but we’ll do it.’" While Sajak thought that the moment would be edited out, he was mistaken when the phrase aired without edit. Thankfully for Williams, he had already done damage control, notifying friends and family that they might hear the NSFW phrase leave his lips during the show. “I told my wife immediately after: ‘I will keep everything a secret except this — this you have to know about. They said they might edit it, but I don’t know what it’s going to look like.' And then it was out of sight, out of mind until the world reminded me of what I said." The world has not forgotten it yet, and Jimmy Kimmel wasn't about to pass up an opportunity to poke some fun at the incident again. Kimmel posed another phrase that Williams needed to solve: “ALL HANDS ON D_CK." All hands on deck, people...pull your minds out of the gutter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmPGGuWM45A
