'Corner Curio Cabinet' Becomes Epic Wheel Of Fortune Fail

DETROIT (CBS Detroit) It was turrible, just turrible!

A nervous man trying to solve the "Wheel of Fortune" word puzzle had $1 million on the line.

And he seemed to know exactly what the "thing" on the board was.

Clicking the buzzer, he slurred, "Corner-kereo cabinet!"

Wrong! The correct answer was "corner curio cabinet."

And there went his million bucks.

"It just didn't come out the way you wanted it to and we'll take a look at it during the commercial to be sure we treated you fairly," Sajak told the crestfallen contestant.

So, what do you think -- should they have given the guy the benefit of the doubt?
