Jordan told the host confidently Ryan Seacrest“I’d like to solve it,” but instead of giving the correct answer, he advised, “Treat yourself to a round of sausage.”

His competitor, Kitina Thomasthen took over the correct answer, but Seacrest gave Jordan credit and said, “Although, Will, I kind of like your answer better.” That sounds better than just clapping now.”

Fans also liked Jordan’s alternative response: One viewer shared a clip of the memorable moment and wrote: “I’ve always been jealous of each of you who can treat yourself to a ROUND OF SAUSAGE almost every day. #WheelofFortune 😜.”

“One of the most hilarious failed puzzle solving in #WheelofFortune history happened tonight πŸ€¦β€β™‚οΈπŸ˜† #Sausage,” tweeted another fan of the show.

Jordan’s iconic moment quickly went viral, with other reactions including “I’ve had two drinks and am sobbing with laughter,” “An absolute all-timer here,” and “This will haunt this guy for the rest of his life πŸ˜‚πŸ˜…πŸ˜‚.”

Another Jordan supporter stated: β€œThis Will made at least two more absurd assumptions tonight. My husband didn’t come to #WheelOfFortune to win money. He has become a legend. Respect.”

Jordan, a police officer and Coast Guard veteran, spoke after the show Maggie Sayak about the moment and joked: “I’m sure I’ll have sausages in my locker and in the police car when I get back.”

The episode ended with the third contestant Chantel Toran took the win with a total prize of $13,000.
