Election coverage is dominating the networks this week, putting some regular scheduled programming in jeopardy.
Popular shows that typically air on Tuesdays — like “The Voice” and “The Bachelorette” — will not be airing on election night. And depending on their region, “Jeopardy!” fans may not be able to watch the beloved quiz show tonight (in Utah, the show is still scheduled to air at 6:30 p.m. on KJZZ).
On Nov. 3, “Jeopardy!” tweeted that the show “will be preempted in many areas today through the rest of the week.”
Tuesday night’s episode features contestant Devin Rossiter, a longtime “Jeopardy!” fan from Bakersfield, California, who loved the show so much that he used to have his parents pretend to be contestants while he played host, according to The Ringer.
“A lot of people who live locally are asking, ‘I know you can’t say how you did, but is there a way I can see you on the show?’” Rossiter told The Ringer. “The only thing I’ve been able to tell people is, well, you can watch on Nov. 4. And if I’m still there, you’ll know.”
Here’s a rundown of the locations/networks that may be affected, according to the official “Jeopardy!”website.
