Pat Sajak was called out for mocking Wheel of Fortune contestants speech impediment following Monday’s show. The game is SO MUCH harder up behind that wheel /BfMDE03YfZĪ lot of people agreed with Sajak as a supporter tweeted: “Pat, YOU are such a normal decent human being. Sajak has come under fire from fans recently for his mean-spirited comedy. During the player introductions, Sajak mimicked contestant Chris Brimble’s lisp. The show would have never lasted without your modeling of fairness & respect.Īfter he described what he does for a living. Kindness matter’s.” Another one said: “Sitting at home in my stained boxers is a lot easier than being in front of a live audience of I'm guessing 100 people and millions at home. I could not guess the puzzle with that pressure.” “Still have my name tag Pat - and you and Vanna were so sweet to me and the other college kids that week in Philly! I missed the last puzzle (which was Scrapbook) but I did get to say ‘I have the Munchies’ at least on National TV.

The game is SO MUCH harder up behind that wheel,” an ex-contestant added.Did just mock one of the contestants? /brJIMEB4yh- phil February 23, 2021Īt the time, Chris and a few others can be heard laughing off the interaction. Still, many viewers took the comment as Pat mocking Chris, causing outrage. I grew up with a parent who had issues speaking," someone said online. "As someone your age, who grew up with hearing impaired cousins, I was taught that we NEVER made fun of their speech pattern. To this day I wouldn't even think of doing what you did. Own it and DO BETTER!," a viewer tweeted."WoWheel of Fortune has not yet responded to Good Housekeeping's request for comment. Both Pat and Wheel of Fortune have stayed silent on the matter. On Tuesday, Chris did respond to a tweet regarding his time on the show, saying it was a "super fun experience." However, it seems that was before the clip made waves online. Tee Moree, who was also a contestant on the episode, has come to Pat's defense, replying to a tweet stating: "Pat was very kind to us. It seems like he sincerely made a mistake." In psychology it is recommended that you portray another’s energy to make them feel comfortable and I believe this is what Pat does on a daily basis. The controversy comes just days after Pat tweeted on February 16: "Criticizing others is so much easier than examining our own lives.


Either way, these divers will never forget this underwater encounter.And so much less productive." A day later, he tweeted, "How nice for those who have lived such exemplary lives that they can express glee when others have their lives ruined by a mistake, real or perceived." It's unclear what Pat's tweets were referring to at the time. Perhaps the whale shark was equally curious about them. This whale shark was not concerned with the divers, swimming slowly through the group. They are gentle beasts with no ability to bite or defend themselves. The whale shark could easily increase its speed or simply dive deep, as they often do to avoid predators. It is a life-changing moment when it becomes clear that we, as humans, are small and clumsy in this underwater realm. Watching a whale shark cruise past, seemingly unconcerned with the presence of comparatively tiny humans, is simply awe-inspiring. It is believed that they come here to give birth, but everything about this possibility is little more than theory. They are almost exclusively large, pregnant females. For mysterious reasons that baffle scientists, whale sharks also cruise through here during certain times of the year. Animals such as Galapagos sharks, hammerheads, and stingrays congregate here. The upwelling of cold water brings nutrients and food from deep in the ocean to the surface. These lucky scuba divers have traveled to the Galapagos Islands to swim in the water near Darwin Island, a remote area where three strong ocean currents collide. Anyone lucky enough to see one swimming in the wild will never forget the experience. They are truly majestic giants of the deep. Estimates of their weight place them at up to 45,000kg (100,000lbs). They are also the largest fish and they reach an incredible length of 20m (60 feet). Whale sharks are the largest shark in the ocean.
