Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak tackles contestant in incredibly bizarre momentFans delighted as Pat Sajak decided to spice up Wheel of Fortune by tackling a contestant<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

\"Wheel<\/div>\n
Pat Sajack raised some eyebrows with his bizarre antics when he tackled a contestant as host of Wheel of Fortune.<\/strong><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

In what would prove to be an odd episode, Pat Sajack decided to get physical with a guest.Now get your head out of the gutter, not that kind of physical, but that would be equally strange.If you were lucky enough to tune into Wheel of Fortune<\/em> mid-episode, you might have caught the host Pat Sajack tackling a contestant.In March last year, the host would certainly leave a lasting impression on fans of the\u00a0game show.<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n

\"In<\/div>\n

In March last year, the host would certainly leave a lasting impression on fans of the game show. (NBC)<\/cite>The 76-year-old\u00a0TV<\/a>\u00a0legend decided he knew exactly how to spice up the show and make it a touch different than the normal ones.Speaking on the show,\u00a0Wheel of Fortune<\/em>\u00a0star played Fred gave some details about his life, most notably that he was a\u00a0professional wrestler.<\/a>As well as this, he was a bar trivia host and a drama teacher – but his wrestling vocation will become more important later.Fred detailed that he isn\u2019t paid well to wrestle but does it just for the fun of the sport.It was a pretty successful night for Fred, as he won numerous rounds during the Hawaii-themed episode, with him solving the\u00a0\u2018Pineapple upside-down cake<\/a>\u2019 puzzle.<\/div>\n

\n
\n
After guessing countless words correctly, Sajak can be heard joking: \u201cWell, the Fred Fletcher Jackson show continues.\u201dFred\u2019s clean sweep meant he was able to progress to the final round with $5,700 in the bank. The two other guests could barely get a word in edgeways and Sajak gave a hilarious apology to them, before jokingly calling Fred a \u2018brute\u2019 for doing so well.\u201cTo you two, I want to say it happens sometimes \u2013 someone just gets really hot,\u201d Sajak says.\u201cJust because he\u2019s a professional wrestler\u2026 You want me to body slam him for you? I can do that.\u201dFred took home an extra $40,000 after guessing the final phrase \u2018His mind is wandering\u2019 correctly and Sajak \u2013 who has hosted the show since 1981 \u2013 was in shock.In keeping with his promise to the two unfortunate guests from earlier, Sajak grabs and tries to tackle Fred while the audience watch and applaud.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
\n
\"If<\/div>\n

If you were lucky enough to tune into Wheel of Fortune mid episode you might have caught the host Pat Sajack mid tackle of a contestant. (NBC)<\/cite>Thankfully, the hilarious moment was all in good fun and Fred survived long enough to take home his $75,800 earnings.Before being humorously tackled, Fred flexed his biceps happily after guessing the final phrase.His father, who joined him onstage shortly after his final winning moment, stood and watched as Sajak grabbed his son from behind.\u201cWhy didn\u2019t he body slam Pat?\u201d one fan quipped in the comments.A second viewer wrote: \u201cFred is a part-time wrestler, so Pat joined with his prowess.\u201d<\/div>\n

While another commenter shared: \u201cThat was a good one!! The end was so funny.\u201d<\/div>\n
