Pat Sajak and a 'Wheel of Fortune' contestant traded the goofiest dad jokes about fencing

Like any good game show host, Pat Sajak enjoys getting to know his Wheel of Fortune contestants and having a bit of fun with them. But this week when he made a goofy dad joke about one contestant’s interest in fencing, he was hilariously unamused by the equally silly response he received.

While introducing the contestants, Sajak asked a player named Greg about his passion for competitive historical fencing — which is not dressing up like old-school pirates, as the host speculated.

“It’s more of Renaissance outfits, and we do competitive fencing tournaments,” Greg explained. “We do multiple players on the field. So basically, I go out on the weekend and stab my friends, so it’s very cathartic.”

Sajak then changed the subject to Greg’s family, and when the contestant mentioned that he has a daughter who’s almost a teenager, Sajak fired off a dad joke. And it led to this funny exchange:

Sajak: “Well, just stay en garde. Fencing humor there.”
Greg: “I get the point.”

Greg seemed pretty proud of himself for that quip. But Sajak’s death-stare reaction to Greg’s dad joke is excellent. But we do wish Greg shared a little more about how competitive historical fencing works.
