During Tuesday’s episode of the syndicated game show, Kevin was only one letter away from getting the correct answer. With ” A STREETCAR NA\_ED DESIRE” on the board, he made a crushing and dirty mistake, guessing K, which would have made for quite the adaptation. The next contestant, Lisa quickly swooped in for the victory, even though host Pat Sajak seemed partial to Kevin’s response. “And although you got the right answer, I’d rather see Kevin’s play,” he joked. > [](https://twitter.com/jamiehawryliak/status/844326318300913664) Below see Twitter’s shocked and hilarious reactions to Kevin’s fail. > [](https://twitter.com/daldridgetnt/status/844324642915528704) > [](https://twitter.com/secupp/status/844334913704939520) > [](https://twitter.com/dumbassgenius/status/844339410820751361) > [](https://twitter.com/jadande/status/844352899476049921) > [](https://twitter.com/ericalenti/status/844324373469302784) > [](https://twitter.com/emily%5Fweiss28/status/844335723453059077) > [](https://twitter.com/MusingsofShawn/status/844328389360205825) _This_ [_article_](http://ew.com/tv/2017/03/21/wheel-of-fortune-contestant-fail-viral/ "undefined") _originally appeared on_ [_Ew.com_](http://www.ew.com "undefined") ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4708830/wheel-of-fortune-streetcare-named-desire/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4708830/wheel-of-fortune-streetcare-named-desire/"},"headline":"Wheel of Fortune Contestant Goes Viral for A Streetcar Named Desire Fail","datePublished":"2017-03-22T05:55:00.000Z","dateModified":"2026-04-13T07:42:06.989Z","description":"\"Although you got the right answer, I’d rather see Kevin’s play”","url":"https://time.com/4708830/wheel-of-fortune-streetcare-named-desire/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","onetime"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt47275a28c9f0ebf7/6988bf5686f68edd016e3ee7/screen-shot-2017-03-22-at-1-57-21-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Derek Lawrence / Entertainment Weekly"}],"articleSection":"Entertainment","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt47275a28c9f0ebf7/6988bf5686f68edd016e3ee7/screen-shot-2017-03-22-at-1-57-21-pm.png?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Screen Shot 2017-03-22 at 1.57.21 PM","caption":"","creditText":"Twitter, in article","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/entertainment/","name":"Entertainment"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4708830/wheel-of-fortune-streetcare-named-desire/","name":"Wheel of Fortune Contestant Goes Viral for A Streetcar Named Desire Fail"}}]}] ```
