“Jeopardy! Fans Outraged as Final Round Cut Off by Biden’s Press Conference”
On Thursday, February 8, 2024, Jeopardy! viewers were left frustrated when the show’s Final Jeopardy! round was interrupted by a breaking news segment covering President Joe Biden’s press conference. The episode had reached its climactic moment with the category “Country Music” and the clue: “‘It was kind of a prodding to myself to play it straight,’ said Johnny Cash of this 1956 hit.” Before contestants could reveal their responses, the broadcast abruptly shifted to ABC’s special news report.
