Wheel of Fortune viewers were left stunned after a contestant made an embarrassing letter mistake on the game show.
Rasheda, along with fellow contestants Teresa and Derrick, participated in the Wheel of Fortune: BetMGM Big Winners Tournament episode, hosted by Ryan Seacrest, on Tuesday.
The category was “showbiz” and after placing some letters on the board, Rasheda decided to solve the word puzzle.
Unfortunately, he was wrong by one letter. The answer was “Michael B. Jordan stars in Creed,” but Rasheda got the actor’s name wrong and called him “Michael P. Jordan.”
That’s when Teresa walked in and correctly guessed the Hollywood heartthrob’s name.

He played Adonis Creed in the Creed franchise. Creed is the son of Apollo Creed, Rocky Balboa’s former rival turned friend.
He reprized his role as Creed in Creed II (2018) and Creed III (2023).
The new episode comes after host Ryan was criticized for his lack of empathy following a Wheel Of Fortune contestant’s heartbreaking loss of $1 million, as some viewers claimed Pat Sajak would have handled the situation better.
The 49-year-old TV personality, who is struggling to win over fans of the game show, upset critics on a recent episode of the show as he began his second week as host.
The latest controversy began when contestant Vivian made it to the bonus round to solve the “What are you doing?” puzzle.
She made the bold decision to choose C, H, M and P for her consonants, since I has her vowel.
Ryan asked how the contestant was doing before the reveal, to which she responded “nervous” as the letters lit up.
Vivian made her guesses in an effort to solve the puzzle as she said, “Asking some help, answering some help, finding some help, looking around for help, boundaries for help.”

However, he was unsuccessful when the doorbell rang and the correct response was “offer some help.”
Then came the most heartbreaking moment when Ryan opened the envelope with a smile and showed her that the prize was actually the coveted $1 million jackpot.
The contestant was left in complete shock as she put her hands to her head.
Ryan continued to smile and chuckle as he said, ‘You were so close to that million dollars. You almost got it.’
One viewer expressed displeasure, writing, “He needs to work on his empathy skills.” Hahaha!! Can you even remember what it’s like to not be rich? hahaha, oh Ryan.’
American Idol host Ryan officially replaced host Pat in early September, and was quickly criticized for not mentioning the former host by name, following Pat’s departure after 40 years at the helm.
Now, viewers are complaining about the contestants’ “overproduction” and “fake emotions,” with some even going so far as to question whether the actors are “paid actors.”
