Gishma Tabari's biggest fear came true during her appearance on Wheel of Fortune.

For those who may've missed her episode, Tabari went viral for having the "worst guess ever," after thinking "The British Ogre" was the solve for puzzle, "The Critics Agree."

Now, in a new interview, Tabari is speaking out about her headline-making experience on the show. "The funny part was, right before I went on, I went to my husband, Saman," she told Fox News Digital, "‘My fear is that I’m gonna go on the show and I'm gonna say or do something stupid that everyone's gonna laugh.'"

She quipped, "That's exactly what happened."

As for what went down in the moment, she blamed her "imagination" for the on-camera flub, adding, "From the moment I was up there, and I saw the board, that's what I saw. Now I look at it and I'm like… it doesn't make sense."

Unfortunately, Tabari didn't realize how viral her answer became until after it was everywhere online, crediting friends for telling her of her 15 minutes of fame.

"I saw my picture and I was like, 'Oh my God. That's me,'" she continued. "There were some hurtful comments… but honestly, I wasn't upset by it…. People don't know who I am in general. I have a degree, I'm working… I feel like I just had a hard moment that was on national TV."

It wasn't all bad for Tabari, who walked away with several prizes from her Wheel of Fortune gig.

We're sure this will be a memorable moment for host Pat Sajak, who is set to retire from the show in 2024. “Well, the time has come,” Sajak wrote on Twitter in June. “I’ve decided that our 41st season, which begins in September, will be my last. It’s been a wonderful ride, and I’ll have more to say in the coming months. Many thanks to you all.”

Ryan Seacrest has since been named his successor.
