'It always pains me when nice people come on our show to play a game ... and are then subject to online ridicule when they make a mistake,' Sajak said.
"Jeopardy!" contestant Christine Whelchel made a strong statement about cancer recovery when she appeared without the wig she had worn on previous nights after going through breast cancer treatment.
Sajak asked fans to"cut them some slack" because contestants are"under a kind of stress that you can't begin to appreciate from the comfort of your couch." He added,"Unless you're there, you have no idea how different it is in the studio." "So, yeah, it was an oddly entertaining puzzle and it's okay to laugh at the situation. But have a little heart," Sajak concluded the Twitter thread."After all, you may be there one day. And no one wants to be trending on Twitter."
