If you were a contestant on *Wheel of Fortune* and made a huge mistake, would you laugh it off or hide in embarrassment? For Matt, a contestant who made one of the most memorable blunders in the show’s history, the choice was probably to laugh.

Despite his error, he won \$23,350 in the end. During his round, Matt had to guess a word puzzle in the category “people.”

The puzzle read: N\_ T – \_ N \_ R \_ T \_ \_ N TH\_. When Matt guessed “The Greatest Buttercut,” he was completely off, and the correct answer was “The Next Generation.”

His blunder provided a lot of laughs, overshadowing the entire episode despite his win. Matt isn’t the only contestant to make a memorable mistake.

In 2017, Kevin confused the title “A STREETCAR NAMED DESIRE,” calling it “A STREETCAR NAKED DESIRE.” In 2009, Lolita McAuley guessed “SELF-POTATO” instead of “SELF-PORTRAIT.” And in 2014, Julian mispronounced “Achilles” as “AY-chill-es” and made some odd guesses, like “on-the-spot dicespin.” These hilarious errors have become part of *Wheel of Fortune* history, reminding us that sometimes, laughter is the best way to handle a mistake.
