Pat Sajak would like to buy an apology.
The “Wheel of Fortune” host teased a contestant about her ichthyophobia, or fear of fish, on the show last week — but later apologized for picking on her.
The 76-year-old host was bursting with questions after the contestant named Ashley Laumb revealed her phobia.“Nothing, nothing to do with them at all,” confirmed Laumb. “If they’re on a plate or in the water, I am not going to be anywhere near it.”as “a persistent and irrational fear of fish” in which people “might fear seeing, smelling, touching or eating fish.”
Sajak asked the contestant if the phobia came from a childhood experience, to which Laumb replied, “It’s a long story, Pat. We don’t have time.”Later on, Laumb moved on to the bonus round of the game show and as Sajak was coming over to congratulate the winner, he turned to another contestant and drew out a plastic fish.
According to a video posted on Instagram, the 76-year-old host was bursting with questions after the contestant named Ashley Laumb revealed her phobia.“Can you do me a favor? I don’t want her to see this, just hold onto this,” said Sajak handing the fish to the contestant.That’s when Sajak decided to concede and say sorry.Sajak asked the contestant if the phobia came from a childhood experience, to which Laumb replied, “It’s a long story, Pat.

“Hats off to the producers who research the contestant stories for the hosts on ‘Jeopardy’ and ‘Wheel of Fortune’. I mean, what can you do with “So Contestant A, I hear you don’t like fish’,”“I wanna know more about this gal! Why doesn’t she like fish??? Best contestant yet,” said another person.
