CELEBRITY Wheel of Fortune fans can't believe an actress' blunder after she missed an 'easy' puzzle in tonight's 'boring' new episode.
In the latest episode of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune, Abbott Elementary star Janelle James got stuck on a relatively easy conundrum while a guest on the long-running series.
Janelle participated in the game show alongside fellow Abbott Elementary costars Sheryl Lee Ralph, 66, and Chris Perfetti, 34.
The Emmy-nominated comedic actress competed in the contest for the charity the Innocence Project while Sheryl played on behalf of Donors Choose and Chris for GLSEN.
The mother-of-two had a few good rounds in the show, however, midway through she got stumped on a puzzle when she got to the first part of the double bonus round.
At that point there was a $1M prize wedge at stake - her costars celebrated their happiness for her with cocktails on the side of the stage.

Since Janelle had picked a puzzle that fit in the "food and drink category," that's what her word game centered around.
Wheel of Fortune host Pat Sajak, 76, started her off and then Janelle took it from there - well, sort of.
With the partially worded phrase "pretzels and mustard" on the board, Janelle had 10 seconds to solve it.
Although the words were almost all the way spelled out, besides just four letters, Janelle only guessed "mustard and" but not "pretzels."

When the time was up it was revealed to her what she missed, which was "pretzel" she immediately said: "What the f-?!," awkwardly laughing as she stopped herself from cursing.
The fellow ABC actors shared in Janelle's disappointment after she failed to guess the puzzle correctly.
'EVEN I KNEW IT'
Fans of the witty game show took to Twitter to express their frustration with Janelle for not getting such a solvable one.
One fan wrote to Twitter: "I screamed it out she saw mustard before me and I saw Pretzels right away."
Another wrote: "Seems like the Bonus Puzzles are easier on Celebrity Wheel of Fortune than on regular Wheel and somehow the celebrities still don't get the puzzle right."
A third wrote: "Even I knew it was Pretzels and Mustard.."
"I love this cast so much but they are wearing me out on this Wheel of Fortune" fumed a fourth.
Even though Janelle may not have gotten the puzzle right, she's still succeeding on Abbott Elementary.
At the 2022 Emmy's Janelle was nominated for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her role as Principal Ava in Abbott.
Abbott Elementary is an ABC mockumentary about a group of passionate teachers who find themselves thrown together in a Philadelphia public school.
