On Saturday, Pat tweeted out an apology.
“My apologies to the nice gentleman who wanted to say hello during my morning walk today,” he wrote.
“My security guys mistakenly thought I said, ‘Wrestle him to the ground!’ instead of, ‘Please let him through.’ Easy mistake. Again…sorry.”
It is not clear if the WOF host was joking or not.
His followers’ comments were also unclear.
Some of them were making jokes about the situation while others said he should’ve apologized in person rather than Twitter.
Pat is known for his sarcastic sense of sense of humor, so this could very clearly be a joke.
The host even rifs on contestants during the show.

SPAT SAJAK
Last week, Pat had had it with a contestant after they nearly spat on him.
Ricky from Carlsbad, California, seemingly got carried away as he prepared for his bonus round.
The 75-year-old host asked Ricky to choose from three categories for the final round.
“Phrase, thing, and place. What would you like?”
Ricky leaned toward Pat’s shoulder as he dramatically answered: “Let’s go with… place!”
However, as he pronounced the letter p, he nearly spat on the host.
Pat was noticeably frustrated by the accident.
He rolled his eyes at the camera, leading to laughs from Wheel of Fortune’s studio audience.
“Alright, we’ll back,” he said defeatedly as the show cut to a commercial break.
Although he appeared to have ruffled Pat’s feathers, Ricky later won a total of $59, 570 after scoring a whopping $40,000 on the bonus round.
‘THIS SOCKS!’
However, not only do contestants sometimes get on the hosts nerves, Pat’s sense of humor can make people uncomfortable.
Last Monday, he made a bizarre comment to a contestant during the interview portion of the show.
Shon looked uncomfortable after his story led to the 75-year-old joking he smells his own personal items.
The Anaheim, California father-of-one told Pat he is happily married to his wife of five years, sharing their newborn named Genesis.
“How many comic books do you own?,” the host then asked, flipping to his next cue card without transition.
“I lost count after like, 10,000,” Shon said with a laugh over his proud comic book curation.
“What do you do with them, where are they?” Pat asked.
Shon fondly explained: “I just put them in a room, organize them, smell them sometimes.
“Old comic books have a certain smell that you just have to appreciate.”
Pat laughed but seemed to lack said appreciation, instead responding off the cuff: “I do that with my sock collection.”
The crowd fell silent as Shon laughed nervously.
“Does your wife approve of this? I didn’t mean to start trouble, let’s move on,” Pat concluded.
Under a YouTube clip of the episode one fan simply wondered: “Sajak smells his own socks?”
