Audiences of Wheel of Fortune felt uncomfortable this week following a murder-related joke made by host Ryan Seacrest on the hit game show. The remark occurred during his conversation with contestant Robin, an avid true crime enthusiast hailing from Mt. Prospect, Illinois.
Robin, a thrifting aficionado who boasts about cracking cases just 15 minutes into a podcast or documentary, won the initial toss-up for $1,000. During the March 9 broadcast, she faced off against Jeremy Soria of Virginia Beach, Virginia, and Kim Fasano of Stony Point, New York. Robin subsequently won the second toss-up as well, pushing her initial earnings to $3,000.
