Is this the dumbest 'Wheel of Fortune' answer ever?

A man named Kevin has been dubbed "the worst contestant ever" after an epic fail on Wheel of Fortune in the US, reports the NZ Herald.

Only one letter was missing from the board, which read: A STREETCAR NA?ED DESIRE.

Most people would have recognised the title of Tennessee Williams' 1947 play, or they could have done a process of elimination and worked out what the correct letter was... but it turns out Kevin didn't do that.

Instead, he told the host he'd like to request the letter K, which would have made the answer: A STREETCAR NAKED DESIRE.

Stunned, the host paused for a few seconds before saying, "noooooooo," and the next contestant immediately solved the puzzle.

As a result of his epic fail, social media has blown up, mocking the poor contestant and his brain fart:

"A Streetcar NAKED Desire?!" Kevin, you MORON. #WheelOfFortune

Where does one go after failing on @WheelofFortune like Kevin just did? Possibly the White House?
