Wheel of Fortune fans were stunned when actress Krysten Ritter didn’t meet two of America’s most famous siblings.
On Monday, the Jessica Jones star, 42, solved the puzzle and won $48,250 for St. Jude’s Children’s Research Hospital on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune.
Ritter competed against Schitt’s Creek actress Sarah Levy and fashion designer Christian Siriano while trying to solve the “family” category on the popular game show.
Social media users criticized the Breaking Bad star as he struggled to understand the answer to the riddle.
“I’m watching Celebrity Wheel of Fortune and I just want to know what rocks these celebrities live under,” one person tweeted.

He admitted that he had no idea what the answer meant even though they were the names of two of the most famous brothers in the country.
The show’s host, Pat Sajak, was also confused by Ritter, as she only needed the letters ‘K’ and ‘C’ to complete the puzzle.
Sajak asked him, ‘What letter would you like?’
“K,” she replied.
When the letter appeared on the green board, the puzzle spelled ‘TRAVIS AND JASON KELCE’, two of the country’s best-known brothers.
Even with the answer in front of her, Ritter incorrectly pronounced the NFL duo’s last name and admitted, “I don’t know who they are.”
“They’re football players,” Levy tells Ritter, who then replies, “Well, that’s why!”
Levy admitted that the only reason he knew who the Kelce brothers are is because of pop star Taylor Swift, Travis Kelce’s girlfriend.

‘Krysten doesn’t know who Jason and Travis Kelce are. And mispronouncing her last name #celebritywheeloffortune,” wrote another.
While many were baffled by her lack of knowledge, others praised her for not knowing her brother’s.
“She should be celebrated for this,” one wrote.
“I didn’t know who they were either,” said another.
“Makes me like it a little bit to be honest,” another posted.
