Jeopardy! viewers on the east coast exploded with anger after ABC cut short Thursday night’s episode just moments before Final Jeopardy! in favor of President Joe Biden’s ‘big boy’ press conference.
Fans of the game show were furious that they were unable to see contestants Liz McKenna, Isaac Hirsch, and Robert Voyles face off against each other in the last round and deemed the disruption ‘the worst thing’ network bosses could have done.
Instead, the competition was rudely interrupted with a special ABC news report from David Muir as President Biden geared up to take questions from reporters following his car crash NATO summit speech in Washington Washington DC.
It didn’t take long before frustrated Jeopardy! viewers flooded social media to complain about the disturbance.
‘If I miss one second of Jeopardy because of that senile sock puppet’s “big boy” news conference, I will never forgive WABC-TV,’ fumed one viewer on X.
