Yeah, that just happened. A contestant on the Tuesday, March 21, episode of Wheel of Fortune needed just one more letter to complete the puzzle and somehow still managed to flub the answer. Watch the video above!

The puzzle read "A Streetcar Na-ed Desire," the title of Tennessee Williams' Pulitzer Prize-winning play A Streetcar Named Desire. The contestant, Kevin, simply needed to guess the letter "M" to win the round, but instead asked for a "K," much to the bewilderment of viewers and host Pat Sajak. Even the studio audience let out an audible gasp.

We were watching and couldn't believe it!

Pfft. What if you didn't happen to know the name of the play? It's not like name isn't goofy to begin with.

As a dedicated cruciverbalist, I was aghast.

Brotoro · 12 Apr 2008

I don't like to pigeon-hole people, but I'll forever think of Jimbo as a cruciverbalist.

Jimbo · 19 Jul 2006

And proudly so.

IMO, this remains the most epic fail in Wheel Of Fortune history.

You would think he at least saw The Simpsons episode where Marge sang in "Oh Streetcar".

Maybe he can build a new career out of being "that poor guy":

I was watching an episode one time and it was down to D_LLY MAD_S_N. They guy guessed "Dilly Madison."

Thing is, I like the title, "A Streetcar: Naked Desire."

A fine film. It features some of Dilly Madison's best work.

In fairness to that guy, the Wheel of Fortune people spelled "Dolley" wrong.

We go by the snack cake spelling.

Anyone remember the "more fun than a barrel of vikings" episode?

Google doesn't like that spelling. It keeps forcing me to change it.

Reminds me of that South Park episode.
