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.

The correct answer was Nigeria and was only guessed by Isaac, who went on to add $1,600 to his prize pot, leading him to win with $20,000.
Fans who were unable to watch Isaac's crowning moment joked they were indebted to some viewers who were able to see the clip and uploaded it online for those who missed it.
'Thanks for sharing- it was a forgone conclusion anyway but I like having my closure about these things,' wrote one fan.
Another added: 'I got it wrong, but at least I'll be able to sleep tonight. Thank you, kind stranger!'
Isaac is now the seven day reigning champion and has a grand total of $161,388.

Instead, they watched as Biden accidentally called Kamala Harris 'Vice President Trump.'
'Look, I wouldn't have picked Vice President Trump to be Vice President, did I think she was not qualified to be President,' he said.
The embarrassing gaffe came just one hour after he had introduced Volodymyr Zelensky as 'President Putin.'
Elsewhere, the Democrat leader insisted he doesn't need a cognitive test because he is in 'good shape' and denied reports he wants more sleep.
