While host Pat Sajak has been known, especially lately, to give viewers at home pause by letting his sense of humor take some turns they don’t approve of, this incident, thankfully, had nothing to do with Sajak pelting his long-time letter-turner, Vanna White, as some kind of poorly planned joke.
Unfortunately, this is when things got a little tricky for White.
Contestant Laura spins the bonus round wheel, Sajak pulls the card, White turns the letters and Laura correctly solves the puzzle, which leads to her becoming the first person ever in Wheel of Fortune history to win a home, for a total prize of $398,690.
