'Wheel of Fortune' Contestant Shocks Pat Sajak Nearly Speechless With Record Win

Ricky Gilbert swept the board during Tuesday's game, correctly guessing every single puzzle.

One Wheel of Fortune contestant has left host and viewers alike in shock following his impressive win. 

Ricky Gilbert took home $89,120 after Tuesday's game after the software engineer solved every single puzzle in the game—including the bonus round. 

The game show's Instagram account shared a compilation of his successful guesses later that evening, captioning the video, "Ricky solves EVERY PUZZLE in the game! 👀"

In the clip, Pat Sajak says, "I hope you win a lot of money tonight," foreshadowing all that was to come. 

When Gilbert quickly hit "two for two," Sajak joked, "You just want to tell us what the third one is?" Of course, the answer was a resounding "yes;" the player's winnings continued to climb as he knocked each answer out of the park. 

“Ricky is en fuego here,” Sajak continued to compliment, at one point turning to the other two contestants to offer, "You guys were great." 

Though not included in the collection of clips shared on the social media platform, The U.S. Sun reports that at one point all Sajak could spit out was "Huh!" in response to Gilbert's performance, at a loss for words over his quick thinking and consistent wins. 

If others have managed to do the same in the show's 40+ year history, it's rare. In 2016, one contestant got nearly every puzzle but fell a bit short. 

One former Wheel of Fortune champion explained on Twitter that Gilbert is the first contestant to solve every puzzle—including the Bonus Round—since the show added Triple Toss-Ups. In general, he says it's only happened 19 times since Toss-Ups were added to the show back in 2000—with only 10 of those also winning the Bonus Round—averaging less than one game a year. 

"Ricky’s game tonight? PERFECT!" the show also wrote on Twitter.

One viewer disagreed, arguing that Gilbert losing his million-dollar wedge and wild card after choosing to spin the wheel before solving a puzzle meant his game was "Not perfect!! At all!!!" but his slew of correct answers say otherwise to almost everyone else. 

"this dude ricky on wheel of fortune .. goat," one wrote. 

"DUDE ON WHEEL OF FORTUNE JUST PITCHED A NO-HITTER," another celebrated.
