When Pat Sajak countered by asking where else an oven would be, McBain agreed that it belongs in the kitchen, but implied that “kitchen oven” didn’t belong in the right answers.
And that’s when Sajak let loose with a facetious mini-tirade that he later apologized for.
All would have been fine and dandy had the episode just moved on, but McBain took his shot and questioned the normalcy of “kitchen oven” as everyday phrasing.
During an episode that aired during Thanksgiving week, contestant Darin McBain was successful with a puzzle asking for four objects that begin with the word “kitchen,” with answers that included cabinet, oven, towels and sink.
