PAT SAJAK may have mocked a contestant with a lisp on Monday’s “Wheel of Fortune”.
It happened during the introductions. A guy named Chris Brimble was telling Pat what he does for a living, and Pat responded, quote, “I thee” . . . instead of “I see.”

If Brimble caught it, he didn’t say anything. And he went on to win more than $12,000. But Twitter is letting Pat have it. All you gotta do is search his name.
It’s possible that Pat was just trying to be funny with the “th” sound because he’d just said the word “myth”, but if that was the joke, it fell flat.
