He is my fiancées brother. 🙂 He just came in for Christmas, only see him once a year. I just recently learned this about him! 😊 They thought he cheated on this episode!
Why's the bit where Pat patted him down cut out? That was hilarious! Also because of this clip I've called anyone who gets the word of the day on Wordle right on the first try a Gopher
It's not all that uncommon that bloopers are edited out in post-production, as this show has also been known to edit out three incorrect letters in a row and final spin "penalties".
There’s a high school in Maryland that’s mascot is the Gophers! Gopher-it! (Glen Burnie) about 45 min from College Park aka University of Maryland. Go Terps
That's exactly why Pat always says "You never know what might spill out of your mouth". He encourages the contestant not to give up, despite not getting any additional help from the letters they choose. Pat was shocked and his reaction "What?!" was epic. Prime example that even if you don't get additional help with anymore letters, you don't give up.
Do you know which letters were chosen by Michael before he won the Toyota? Also, what was the puzzle that the kid won $25,000? What letters did he pick? What was the bonus round puzzle solution when the contestant didn't solve it during that week?
@@meathead177 4 out of 5 bonus rounds were won during that week. Michael picked the H and solved CUBICLE for a Toyota MR2 Spyder. Another kid won $25,000 before David did after he set a record. Victor Blackwell from CNN was on too.
I don’t know how in God’s name he got it on the first try, but it wasn’t as ridiculous as “Naked Grandma” or “I Can’t Beat Oprah Doing A Damn Thing”. But that’s my opinion. Feel free to disagree. Have a nice day. Let’s Go Brandon.
many contestants pick some variant of "p, h, g, o" and that classic choice probably stemmed from this win btw why doesn't Wheel offer trips in the bonus round anymore?
I just loved it how Pat went "WHAT?!" 😆
glad youwonthegame
glad youwonthegame
Same here
“OH MY GOD!!!!!! OH MY GOD!!!!!!”
I did too
James: "Gopher, Hoover..."
Pat: "WHAT?!?!!!!"
Gopher, GOOBER he said
I'm very impressed let me look let me look we have a trip to Europe for 4
What impressed🤣
GOPHER?!!!!!
Europe for 4
I was Jimmy's tour guide in Europe on the trip he won. They had a good time, to say the least! He was a great guy, as were his friends.
What is he doing these days?
@@MorganNye Not sure. Probably won the lottery and retired.
@@smartmoney6770 ok really?

GOPHER? from just ER, that's amazing.
Here's the thing: If he picked G, H. P, and O, the board would've been filled in.
*WHAT?!*
Turd, that is true. But there was a deleted scene where Pat gets suspicious and searches James for any evidence of cheating.
@@nathandempster7417 why did they scrap it?
@@nathandempster7417 the "Pat" Down
The dude threw a Hail Mary pass with that one, and scored the TD! Wow. :D
Pat's reaction was the best lol

Why's the bit where Pat patted him down cut out? That was hilarious!

Just like Emil de Leon's New Baby Buggy solve!
...without the pat down.
@@BrandonSugiura There was a pat down. It was edited out. You can find it on some blooper reels.
For the record, he definitely said “Dopher” to start so kinda wild that they gave it to him
0:41 James Gopher?
0:42 Hoover? Pat What?
It sounded like he said "dopher" the first time..
Pat gave this contestant a "Pat"-down.
He didn't.
@@arielgonzalez5296 Why did they cut the part when Pat patted James.
@@MorganNye I don't know.
They thought he cheated since he got it on first guess! He’s family so reliable source lol.
0:41 #WHAT?!
Pat always says "Talk it out." And this is indeed one of the luckiest ones of them all
That solve was epic!
0:42 WHAT?!
0:41 0:42 James said Gopher Hoover.
0:43 Pat was like WHAT?!😱😱😱😱😱
Are you kidding me?!🤩😄😄😆😍
How did James do that?! Unbelievable!
I'm very impressed let me look let let me look we have a trip for four to Europe
Back in 2014 a guy named Emil he had amazing puzzle solve
I'm pretty sure this was edited as Pat was frisk-searching James after guessed the puzzle in case he cheathed!
Did not.

Pat definitely patted him down. I remember that clearly.

Talk about Sheer Luck.
Wow!
My favorite Looney Tunes character is a Gopher.
Daffy Duck
Not only did he get it in one guess but I swear he said it before the 10 seconds even started!
Such an incredible solve!!
I couldn’t hear the prize music cue over the applause and Charlie’s talking.
WHAT THE!?! How did he get that? I’m stunned!

Nader Feiross Muhieddine Oh, I see.
Not gonna lie, I would've went Randy from South Park on this one.
Gopher is an animal not a thing!!!
Glad he got it anyway!

Today, it would be classified as a "Living Thing," so there you go.
Just remember that, that was like 9 or 10 or maybe 12 years ago so that money was worth even more
0:42 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Imagine if James did this…
James: “a K, an F, a C, and a U.”
Inappropriate, my guy. Wheel Of Fortune would never get a contestant to cuss. It’s a Family-Friendly Game Show.
0:43 loud cheeringand clapping
I wouldn't have gotten that
Why did they have “thing” as the category...? It should’ve been *”Living* thing”....
The show wasn't as specific with the categories then as it is now.
That came *_before_* Living Thing was a category
Because living thing debuted on March 15, 2001.
Nice video of the day.❤🎉. 1:32 .
how did he get that
First time Pat Sajak used a high voice.
It sounded like he said doper
Do you know which letters were chosen by Michael before he won the Toyota? Also, what was the puzzle that the kid won $25,000? What letters did he pick? What was the bonus round puzzle solution when the contestant didn't solve it during that week?
Michael picked D P C A. Either the puzzle was IN FASHION or PULL A PRANK. The other kid didn't win the Jeep Wrangler or the Ford Mustang.
Check his pockets
