The official Twitter account for Wheel of Fortune and host Pat Sajak tweeted apologies Monday for airing an episode where one of the puzzles was 'The Fast and the Furious' only two days after the death of one of the film's stars, Paul Walker.
@WheelofFortune tweeted, "The show that included the puzzle "The Fast and The Furious" was taped on 10/4/13. It's an unfortunate coincidence that it aired tonight. The hearts of everyone at Wheel of Fortune go out to the family, friends & fans of Paul Walker."
Sajak echoed similar sentiments by writing, "Feel terrible about timing of "Fast & Furious" puzzle tonight. Taped long ago & went out to 200 local stations days ago."
