We’ve already lost several iconic game show hosts recently. To accuse Sajak of such a cruel act is just assuming the worst about someone who has a long, clean track record. Check out this video of some of Pat Sajak’s retorts:Īnd if you watch the original video in question, it’s clear there’s no ill will between these two gentlemen. But it was only when they were being rude. Sure, he’s pushed back against guests in the past. Oftentimes, it’s the result of people getting along and enjoying each other’s company. You pick up on it and start talking like them out of nowhere. It’s the same effect you get when you hang out with people who have a certain accent. It sounds like, as opposed to a monster, we may just have a chameleon on our hands. Nonconscious mimicry of the postures, mannerisms, facial expressions, and other behaviors of one’s interactions partners, such that one’s behavior passively, and unintentionally changes to match that of others in one’s current social environment. If anything, he might have fallen victim to ‘the chameleon effect.’ According to an article published in the American Psychological Association, the chameleon effect is a: And while Sajak has pushed back against guests in the past, he usually had good reasons. He was clearly having a light-hearted conversation with Brimble. It’s a stretch, at best, to say that Pat Sajak just mocked his contestant’s speech impediment. But it was enough for people with nothing better to do to accuse Sajak of mocking a man with a speech impediment. Sajak then responded to one of Brimble’s answers by saying “I thee” instead of “I see.” Even that’s not abundantly clear. During the exchange, it apparently becomes ‘clear’ that Brimble has a lisp. It all started when Pat Sajak gave a short interview for contestant Chris Brimble. And if it sticks, it says more about us than anything Pat Sajak did. Twitter users tried to get Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak caught in some of that drama this week. And nothing gathers attention quite like a juicy drama. They’re just scanning the world for things that can bring them attention. Many of them aren’t even posting under their real identities. And it’s fine because these eager accusers don’t have to face the repercussions–even when they’re wrong.

People pick apart other people, sometimes for things they said or did decades ago. The app has become ground zero for cancel culture. Pat Sajak seems like a good guy, unless you go on Twitter.

Once you watch the video, you’ll see that people will go to any lengths to get the attention of canceling someone.

His latest ‘gaffe’ has turned into accusations that he was mocking someone with a speech impediment.Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak has made several mistakes live on air recently.It seems like he sincerely made a mistake. In psychology it is recommended that you portray another’s energy to make them feel comfortable and I believe this is what Pat does on a daily basis. However, on Tuesday, Chris did respond to a tweet regarding his time on the show, saying it was a 'super fun experience.' However, it seems that was before the clip made waves online.Īnother contestant who was on the episode has come to Pat's defense, replying to a tweet stating: 'I was there. Both Pat and Wheel of Fortune have stayed silent on the matter. Wheel of Fortune has not yet responded to Good Housekeeping's request for comment. Own it and DO BETTER!,' a viewer tweeted.'WoOthers, however, said that it was merely a play on words, suggesting Pat said 'I thee' after using the word 'myth.' To this day I wouldn't even think of doing what you did. 'As someone your age, who grew up with hearing impaired cousins, I was taught that we NEVER made fun of their speech pattern. I grew up with a parent who had issues speaking,' someone said online.
