A Connecticut man is going viral for a very unusual guess on Wheel of Fortune.

On Monday, November, 11, contestant Will Jordan attempted to solve the puzzle “Give yourself a round of applause.”

With a few squares left, the retired Coast Guard veteran incorrectly guessed, “Treat yourself a round of sausage.”

The audience laughed, while host Ryan Seacrest simply said, “I’m sorry, that’s not it.”

Jordan’s fellow contestant then answered correctly.

“Will, I kind of like yours better,” Seacrest joked afterward, saying, “That sounds better than just clapping right now.”

Jordan later told a reporter said it took a little wind out of his sail knowing millions of people saw him give that answer, but admitted looking back on it now, it was a pretty funny moment, especially hearing the gasp in the crowd.

This is a developing story. Check back for updates as more information becomes available.
