The Video Evidence
However, none of the comedians understood what the puzzle meant! Why was Hader "electric"? Sajak had to explain that the clue put "electric bill" and "Bill Hader" together, resulting in "Electric Bill Hader." Longtime Wheel fans would have understood this immediately, since "Before and After" is a very common puzzle category.
'I don't think they've ever played before'
Later, the Wheel team posted an apology to Hader from all three stars. "Bill, I'm sorry," Scheer said. "I know Bill, and I what I didn't want to do was, I didn't want to boost up your ego. I don't want to embarrass you on TV by giving you so much attention. I wanted people to really live with you for a long time. That's why I didn't guess."
'They need refreshing'
"I just want to say I'm a fan of yours," Rajskub said. "I'm a fan of your work and did I not know who you were in the game? That is true. But please understand that it's more about puzzles and games and my brain than you. You're very talented and very handsome." Luenell did not need to apologize since she got the puzzle and instead pointed out that she had no idea what pickleball was.
'Scared for humanity'
Scroll on to see how fans were frustrated that the stars failed to get "Electric Bill Hader" on their first tries.
'That was so bad!'
Celebrity Wheel of Fortune airs Sundays at 9 p.m. ET on ABC. The series is also available to stream on Hulu.
'Awkward doesn't even begin to describe this moment'
"Awkward doesn't even begin to describe this moment," one person tweeted. "Not getting it was bad enough, but then not recognizing the name BILL F'N HADER!!"
