@SPTV Please consider replacing some staff at #WheelOfFortune after Pat Sajak’s gaff. Probably trying to be funny, but it may also be time for a replacement host. Also show editors. Thank you #opera

prevnextViewers come to Sajak's defense
I feel like I saw a bad pun being made. Think after all these yearsnow of all times Vana would be offended by silly word play? Its no one else’s place to tell her how to feel. Don’t like what you see on TV? Then turn it off. Its that simple.
Besides, who watches live TV anymore

"The previous exchange used opera buff. The joke was watching opera in the buff. It's a joke you can ask anyone, of any sex, of any age, and that's the context it was used in," one person defended Sajak in a since-deleted tweet. "Just a harmless question between friends referencing the same words that were just used."
