CBS broke the news that the Supreme Court ruled that federal prosecutors improperly charged hundreds accused of obstructing an official proceeding during the January 6 insurrection.
The Price is Right did not start from the beginning and instead, went on with the show as if nothing had happened, six minutes in.
It cut in during a commercial, angering fans.
When the commercial ended, the special report came back and then quickly cut back to The Price is Right.
Fans did not get to see the introduction or the first contestant try to win their prize.
“@cbsnews @NorahODonnell Get off the air and put Price is Right on!” one X user begged.
“@CBSNews OK Already! You told us about the ruling now get off the TV. You aren’t even saying anything relevant now. We want the Price is Right,” said another.
“I’ve been through enough these last 16 hours, CBS, I just wanna watch the price is right,” added a third.
“I was watching the Price is Right and they broke in for breaking news about the Supreme Court,” wrote another.
“Thanks for interrupting the price is right,” another complained.

DAYTIME DISRUPTION
This isn’t the first time that the game show has been interrupted this year.
In May, fans were fuming as The Price is Right was abruptly taken off the air.
In certain areas, breaking news cut in and took the show off the air.
CBS’ coverage of Biden’s speech on protests on college campuses was the topic.
The Price is Right Hosts
The Price is Right first came on TV in 1972. Fans fell in love with the game show so much that it has been on for over 50 years. Throughout that time, the show has had a few different hosts. Find out who they are below.
Bob Barker – 1972 to June 2007 (also became executive producer in 1988)
Drew Carey – October 2007 to present
Dennis James – filled in for Bob in 1974 when he missed four episodes, also hosted the nighttime version
Craig Ferguson – 2014 April Fools Day Special
Many fans wished the news aired after the game show.
“BOOOO, PUT THE PRICE IS RIGHT BACK ON,” one X user said.
“Aw hell nah they interrupted the price is right,” said another.
PARTIAL DISRUPTION
However, during the May interruption, only some markets were interrupted.
Some fans said that their program wasn’t interrupted as CBS put the special report online.
“That’s smart,” replied a fellow fan, before adding that they “wish everywhere was like that.”
The show returned in time for the Showcase Showdown.
The Price is Right airs on CBS at 11 am every weekday.
