Take the pressure of being on live TV, add the stress of a timed game show with a big cash prize and more than a few sleepless nights with your new baby, and you have the perfect storm.

This became apparent to Evan, a contestant on Sunday’s episode of ABC’s The $100,000 Pyramid, and this weeks winner of the epic fail award.

If like me, you’ve never heard of Pyramid, the game features two contestants, both of whom are paired with a celebrity. Contestants attempt to guess words or phrases based on descriptions given to them by their teammates. The categories are arranged in a pyramid shape, hence the name of the show.

On Sunday, Evan was paired up with his celebrity partner Tim Meadows. Evan was feeding hints to Meadows, hoping that he would get the clue and they could move on to the next level.

Here’s Mashable:

Evan starts off with an easy one. The subject is “People Whose Last Name is Obama.”

But instead of giving Meadows the hint of Michelle or Barack — you know, arguably one of the most famous couples in the world — Evan clears his throat, breathes deeply, and says, “Bin Laden.”

Yep, Bin Laden.

After the longest few seconds in living memory, Evan finally remembers the former US presidents name, following which Meadows figures out the answer. In fairness, Evan makes it clear at the start of the show that he was a bit sleep deprived:

“Evan, you’re a new father. $50,000 is gonna help in some way, I’m sure,” host Michael Strahand asks him before the Bin Laden flub.

“Oh, yes. So, me and my wife are very tired. And I want to try to use some of that money to get us a little help so that we can get some sleep,” he said.

Watch the blunder in action:

And he does give a pretty funny summary of events on Twitter, which you can read here.

It’s Randy Marsh all over again. South Park fans, you know what I’m talking about.

Evan left the show with $8 500 in winnings, which he’ll hopefully use to get a babysitter and some sleep.

But seriously dude? Bin Laden?
