To make the calm and collected Pat Sajak drop his cards you must have done something pretty spectacular.
On last month's episode of Wheel of Fortune, contestant Kate has just 10 seconds to complete her challenge.
The Cincinnati woman failed her puzzle and inadvertently created a moment of TV gold. Watch below:
The contestant was attempting complete the puzzle for the phrase 'fixing a leak'.

Her guesses were pretty close with 'moving a leaf' and 'raking a leaf' but the 10 second buzzer rang and she was all out of ideas.
Sajak said: "'Leaf' was not the word."
A stumped looking Kate was then presented with the correct phrase 'fixing a leak' and her face lit up with frustration because she was so close, kind of.

Shortly after came the awkwardness as the host was simply not expecting the words to come out of Kate's mouth.
"I kept thinking of doing something else with a leak and I didn't think that was it," she said.
After her insinuated toilet joke threw the audience into hysterics, the host simply replied: "No," as he stared down the camera lens.

"Excuse me," the host said into the camera. "These get heavy sometimes."
Viewers were loving the discomfort, with one person commenting: "I can watch this over and over. She said it so matter of factly."
Another added: "When Pat drops prize and looks at camera...PRICELESS. Thanks Pat."

"They should have given her the prize just for saying that," someone else joked.
While a fourth person said: "Yes, wild stuff happens on this show all the time. It's a mad house."
"I could watch this ALL day," another added.

Other viewers had complete sympathy for the contestant and were thinking the exact same thing.
"That’s exactly the first thing out of my mouth too! Lol," confessed one.
"We all thought it, Kate!!" another wrote.
Well it's safe to say that when you're watching the show, you should always expect the unexpected - as earlier this month, a Wheel of Fortune contestant lost out on a $1 million prize for not pronouncing the winning word correctly - which is bonkers.

However, the show's rules state, as explained to TODAY by a Wheel of Fortune spokesperson: "One of the rules of 'Wheel of Fortune' is when a contestant tries to solve a puzzle, they must pronounce it using the generally accepted pronunciation."
