This “Wheel of Fortune” contestant’s getting major props for NOT winning big — butt he lost in spectacular fashion … with a guess that you just gotta see to believe.
The episode of ‘WoF’ aired Thursday night, featuring a phrase puzzle to start off the game with letters popping up one after the other. After a few letters appeared, a contestant named Tavaris throws out his best guess. Well, a guess.

Take a glance at the board, as Tavaris did, and maybe you also came up with, “Right In The Butt!” 🤣
But, we’re guessing you didn’t — after all, the first word’s supposed to have four letters in it, not five — and, one of his fellow contestants yelped out in shock at Tavaris’ guess while audience members laughed their butts off.
After 2 more letters popped up, another contestant buzzed in … correctly answering “This Is The Best” — and Pat Sajak clearly got a good chuckle outta the whole mess. By now, he knows a viral puzzle when he sees it.
Tavaris was a good sport, telling the woman who got the puzzle right she gave a much better answer than his. ‘Wheel’ fans instantly recognized this as a Hall of Fame moment that’ll go down in the game’s history.

It’s another particularly memorable moment in Sajak’s career … one that’s coming to an end very soon. His last ‘Wheel’ episode is scheduled for June 7 after nearly 45 years at the show’s helm.

As we’ve reported … Ryan Seacrest is set to take over for Sajak while Vanna White will continue in her cohosting role — butt let’s face it, Seacrest can only hope he gets a contestant as memorable as Tavaris!
