In the middle of animated celebrations, the musician got caught hosted by Seacrest50, who looked visually surprised to be captured in the moment.
Brown just correctly guessed the puzzle in the “Phrase” category. The three-word phrase “As You Wish” was difficult, with the chosen letters leaving Brown to guess from a puzzle that read “AS / _ _ _ / _ _ S _”.
