Kate, a performer from Cincinnati, was playing the game’s bonus round when trying to fill in the blanks for the phrase “Fixing a leak,” to no avail. She instead kept guessing phrases involving the word “leaf,” including “moving a leaf” and “raking a leaf.” After the 10-second time ran out, Sajak, 76, revealed that there was no “leaf” in the answer and that the four-letter word was instead “leak.” “I kept thinking of doing something else with leak but I didn’t think that was it,” Kate then stated, prompting the longtime game show host to snap his neck toward the camera once he realized what she meant. After it processed in his head that Kate meant the phrase, “taking a leak,” Sajak dropped the prize card in his hands while the audience erupted into laughter. As Kate began laughing and cringed in embarrassment, the TV personality then bent down to pick up the dropped card, saying, “Excuse me…these get heavy sometimes.” The hilarious moment was captured by the Wheel of Fortune official Instagram account, which shared a video of Kate’s NSFW answer and Sajak’s priceless response. “Kate thought this puzzle was something very different! 👀💀,” the caption of the Instagram post read. “Funniest thing I have seen on this show 😂😂😂😂😂,” one person commented in response to the video, while someone else wrote, “Sometimes this show just cracks me up❤️” “She’s the best contestant I’ve seen in years. 👏,” another user said about Kate, while plenty of more followers admitted that she wasn’t the only one thinking of that particular phrase. “Same girl, same,” one user offered. “We all thought it, Kate!! 😂😂😂,” another added.
