Wednesday, April 11, 2018
You may have seen a major flub on 'Wheel of Fortune' Monday night.

The category was Fun & Games.

All the letters were eventually revealed. The puzzle read: 'Flamenco Dance Lessons.'

But contestant Jonny Knowles still couldn't get it right.

Eagles fans' favorite Wheel of Fortune puzzle of all time


Instead of 'Flamenco,' Knowles said 'Flamingo.'

Knowles, who is from North Carolina, admits he just messed up.

"I was nervous. I've never been on national TV before. It was crazy. A slip of the tongue, literally," Knowles said.
