Just a day after he went viral for his on-stage tackle of a contestant, Pat Sajak was caught yelling at a contestant to solve a puzzle.

After doing so successfully, he pumped his arms in the air and hugged his father who came on stage. His father held up Fred's arm as if he had just reigned victorious in a wrestling match, while Fred beamed. With four letters missing from the puzzle in the "Same Name" category, Nicole chose to spin again, selecting a 'P.' She narrowed the puzzle to two missing letters after guessing 'Y.' The tense moment came just a day after a controversial moment when Sajak was caught, albeit playfully, tackling the winner of that night's episode.
