WHEEL Of Fortune's Pat Sajak "may be FIRED" from the hit show.
The speculation comes after the 74-year-old mocked contestant Chris Brimble's speech impediment.
In Touch reported the longtime Wheel of Fortune host may be "facing the axe" following backlash from fans.
Last month, Pat shocked viewers when he mocked contestant Chris' speech impediment.
During the player introductions, the longtime host poked fun at Chris- who has a lisp- by mimicking him.
After the contestant explained what he does for a living, Pat said “I thee" instead of "I see."
The host's joke received some laughs by others in the studio, though fans took to Twitter to slam Pat for making the "awful" joke.
Commenting on a clip of the joke, one person wrote: "That’s awful ... @patsajak- I used to be a fan ... I grew up with a parent who had issues speaking."
While one fan called Pat "snide," another added: "Thanks for making fun of people with a lisp on tonight’s show you arrogant overpaid jerk - Pat Sajak. Quit now. Maybe if you grew up with a speech impediment you’d understand."
A third viewer chimed in by writing: "Is he purposely trying to get fired, seems that way."
Alongside the hashtag #PatSajakSucks, a fourth Wheel of Fortune fan added: "#PatSajakSucks How snide are you if you make fun of someone with a lisp. I mean really?"
Pat has served as the host of the popular game show since December 1981.
Before Pat faced backlash for mocking Chris, the longtime host joked that he had a meltdown when dealing with a contestant on the show.
In an episode from November, contestant Darin McBain had to guess four expressions that began with the word kitchen, and he guessed correctly saying, "cabinet, towels, oven, sink."
But a perplexed Darin couldn't understand why the word "kitchen" followed "oven."

He said: "Kitchen oven? What was that? Who calls it a 'kitchen oven?'"
The host then jokingly lost his cool by telling the contestant to be grateful.
He said: "You won! Don't argue, Darin! You got the puzzle! Ungrateful players, I've had it!"
"No, I'm just teasing," Pat continued, then laughed, "I finally snapped."
