ABC really needs to stop inviting Andy Richter on its game shows.
On Thursday, the Conan O’Brien sidekick rolled a highlight — er, lowlight — reel of his most profane “Wheel of Fortune” guesses.
And you thought that viral lady’s “CHASING TAIL” guess was inappropriate. She’s got nothing on the “Andy Richter Saves the World” star.
Richter’s time above Pat Sajak’s big wheel included the following puzzles:
THE _UCK STOPS HERE
_UCK _UCK GOOSE
_UCK OF THE DRAW
_UCK O THE IRISH
_UCK BE A LADY TONIGHT
_ _ _ K IN THE SADDLE AGAIN
_ _ CKING THE QUARTERBACK
MIGHTY _UCKS
JOY _UCK CLUB
THOMAS THE _ _ _K ENGINE
And of course, there was this “Fast Food Slogan” puzzle: FINGER _ _ CKIN’ GOOD
As you probably figured out by now, Richter filled in all the blanks with the “F” word. Thank goodness for cable channel TBS’ (and YouTube’s) pretty lax standards and practices.
Watch the video above.
You’ll be rolling by the time “Celebrity” puzzle “DWAYNE ‘THE _ _ _ K’ JOHNSON” comes up.
(A bit of advice: Don’t worry about the continuity of the letters that would have been guessed and revealed. It’ll just ruin the fun for you. Same deal for the number of letters for puzzles like “MONSTER _ _ _ CK RALLY”)
8 Weirdest, Most Outrageous TV Game Show Moments (Videos)
Arguably the raunchiest answer in game show history came on a 1977 episode of "The Newlywed Game," which has since become an urban legend.
You could always count on "Match Game" for some wild times, and one of the highlights was when host Gene Rayburn attacked the cameraman for not allowing Charles Nelson Reilly to prep off-camera for his (admittedly off-color) visual gag.
Bob Barker Is a True Professional, Exhibit A: The host dealt with a dopey "Price Is Right" contestant who prematurely reveals the correct answer.
Meet Leonard Cooper, 2013 "Jeopardy!" Teen Tournament Champion and author of one of the greatest victory declarations in game show history.
Bob Barker Is a True Professional, Exhibit B: The host dealt with a game of Ten Chances in 2000 that gave away all the answers.
Here is the raw footage from Whoopi Goldberg's last episode of "Hollywood Squares," featuring all the NSFW stuff that gets cut out of what you see on TV.
It's rare but not unheard of for "Jeopardy!" episodes to end with all three contestants going all in on Final Jeopardy and losing. Here's the most recent example of such a humiliating triple defeat from January 2016.
James Holzhauer lost his 33rd game of "Jeopardy!" after wagering an uncharacteristically modest $1,399 in his final “Final Jeopardy” round in June 2019. He was expected to beat Ken Jennings' all-time highest winnings record of $2.5 million that day, but lost in a shocking turn of events to opponent Emma Boettcher. Holzhauer, a professional gambler, explained why he bet so low, telling The Action Network, "I knew I could only win if Emma missed Final Jeopardy, as there was no way she wouldn’t bet to cover my all-in bet. So my only concern was getting overtaken by third place, and I bet just enough to make sure of locking him out."
