'No harm no foul'
We all make mistakes. Like how some of us might develop a rare form of amnesia only effecting the word “penguin”. The point is, these things happen to the best of us. No harm no foul. https://t.co/zLn5X5mpLF

It's hard to understand how Sajak could not at least be aware of Cumberbatch, who has been almost everywhere since scoring his breakout role as Sherlock Holmes in the BBC's Sherlock. He has also starred in dozens of important films in the past two decades, including Atonement, 12 Years a Slave, Star Trek Into Darkness, 1917, August: Osage County, and The Hobbit movies. He plays Doctor Strange in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, making his latest appearance as the character in Spider-Man: No Way Home. He recently finished filming Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness, which opens on May 6.

You should apologize. Benedict is an amazing actor and has never given a bad performance. Shame on you Pat.

Cumberbatch also scored an Oscar nomination for The Imitation Game. His performance in Jane Campion's The Power of the Dog has won him widespread acclaim and was nominated for the Screen Actors Guild Award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role. The Netflix movie is widely expected to garner another Oscar nomination for the actor.

"Does Cumberbatch know who Pat Sajak is? Would an apology be required?" one fan wondered.
prevnextDoes Sajak 'look like someone up on anything that happened after 1985?'
Am I the only one who isn't surprised that Pat Sajak doesn't know who Benedict Cumberbatch is? I mean, does he seem like someone up on anything that happened after 1985? Also, do we care who Pat Sajak knows? Is that a thing now?

"Trebek told us in the little huddle after the show about how he had the writers change the FJ category name to make it easier on us; Sajak just asked a contestant to explain the end of 'EGGS BENEDICT CUMBERBATCH' because he didn't understand it," former Jeopardy! champion John Schultz tweeted.
