A WHEEL of Fortune contestant has insulted Pat Sajak for filling space after being mocked for their skill.
Pat welcomed a contestant named Joel Crandall to Wheel of Fortune in a clip on the show's official TikTok account.
Pat, 77, found out about the guest's prowess at the game of Simon Says.
“People like to brag about their skills,” the host said during the clip.
"I’m not sure I would brag about this when you’re an expert at doing Simon Says," he continued.
Joel had an answer ready for Pat's putdown.

He said the skill is something that can come in handy for certain situations.
"You just get in a spot where somebody needs to fill space for a little bit of time," he said.
But Joel wasn't finished there.
"You know something about that," he ribbed Pat, who was seemingly confused by what Joel was saying.

"And then you just have to do something to be able to keep things going," Joel added.
Pat kept the joke going, asking: "Simon says, 'What does he mean by that'?"

VALEN-TIME OUT
Last week, Pat roasted a married couple that fumbled a puzzle.
The comical mishap came amid the weeklong Sweethearts Special, where couples team up to tackle the iconic game show.
Dameron and John faced off against Joe and Amy and Christy and Trent on Wednesday’s episode.
Despite being parents of three and married for a remarkable 33 years (with Joe having originally dated Christy's sister), the seasoned couple encountered a major stumble during the triple-toss-ups.
The puzzle, a two-word challenge under the category "Thing," seemed straightforward as the letters unveiled themselves automatically.
Confidently, Christy's husband whispered a response to her, prompting her to ring in with the guess: "Investment firm?"
Pat, 77, with a drawn-out tone, quashed their optimism with a simple "No."
In a twist of irony, Joe and Amy swooped in with the correct answer, "Engagement Ring," earning a playful jab from Pat.
With a wry smile, he teased, "You were romantic, they were just practical."
'LMAO'
Social media erupted with laughter over the pragmatic misstep amid a romantic theme.
One X user wrote: “Couples Night on Wheel of Fortune, and some lady just guessed 'Investment Firm' instead of 'Engagement Ring.' LMAO!!
Another user wrote: “'Investment firm' LOL Sweetheart Week so romantic."
Meanwhile, high school sweethearts Joe and Amy emerged victorious, securing a spot in the bonus puzzle.
Their triumph continued as they conquered the puzzle as "Take a New Approach."
The couple walked away with a whopping $40,000 bonus prize, bringing their total Valentine's Day haul to an impressive $64,341.
WHEEL OF MISFORTUNE
During Pat's sendoff season, wrong answers on the beloved game show just keep on spinning.
Last month, a contestant missed the bonus puzzle “BAGELS & D_ _G _ N_TS," unable to guess "doughnuts," costing her a BMW.
Another contestant lost by mispronouncing one word of a completed puzzle, though some fans debated Pat's "cold-blooded" ruling.
More humorously, a contestant went viral for her wrong answer: “The British Ogre."
