Jeopardy! fans fury as latest episode fails to air after unannounced schedule change
Jeopardy! viewers were disappointed on Tuesday night due to an unannounced schedule change that prevented them from seeing the latest episode.
Fans looked forward to watching new player Ryan Manton as he competed for his second win, but instead a baseball game, basketball game, and special political report aired in the game show’s place.
‘How the f**k am I supposed to watch Jeopardy? There’s baseball on,’ one person wrote on X.
Someone else shared, ‘In Chicago we missed Regular Jeopardy because of a WNBA game.’
Another lamented, ‘An MLB game was happening during the entire half hour today’s episode was supposed to air. Congratulations to Ryan!’

Another surprised fan said online, ‘YouTube TV didn’t record today’s episode for me 🙁 Looks like my local station didn’t air it due to the special report regarding Iran and Israel.’
The long-running trivia show airs on different channels at different times throughout the country.
Ryan, a native of Columbus, Ohio, scored his second win following Monday’s triumph.
During his initial game, he earned more than $21,000.
On Tuesday he returned, going up against Mike McComb, a project manager from Michigan, and New Jersey-based Brooke Levine, a workforce manager.
Per The Sun’s account, Manton got off to a fiery start, taking the lead as the show headed into the first commercial break.
Ryan collected $2,800 with Mike trailing behind with $1,600 after losing the lead with two wrong Jeopardy! clues.
Meanwhile, Brooke only had $800, which decreased to $200 as the game went on.
‘I can’t believe I missed tonight’s episode because of some baseball game I don’t care about,’ one person wrote online

Following his two-day winning streak, Ryan has now won more than $43,000.
He will compete in a third episode, airing on Wednesday.
At the end of Monday’s game, host Ken Jennings praised Ryan’s ‘ability to take risks’ in the fast-moving game.
Ryan also shared that his wife Lauren appeared on Jeopardy! three years ago, and he proposed to her the night before the competition was taped.
