A restaurant owner and chef from Culver City, CA, named Ken Shepski competed yesterday on "Wheel of Fortune." He's married to a guy named Doug and the two enjoy traveling. Ken ended up winning the game and a final total of $64,078 in cash and prizes.
Congrats, Ken!!
It was a pretty ordinary game -- except for the fact that he acknowledged his husband instead of his wife, and his husband blew him a kiss from the audience, and the two men hugged each other after Ken solved the final Bonus Round.
Judging from viewer comments on Facebook and Twitter, you would have thought that something scandalous had occurred. Check out some of these snippets:
There were some positive comments, but there's definitely a vocal segment of the game show's fan base that's really upset by Ken and his husband.
