FANS of Celebrity Wheel of Fortune have grown furious with the show after it made an abrupt schedule change.

Viewers were unable to watch the game show on Wednesday.

The Celebrity Wheel of Fortune Instagram page posted about the sudden change on Wednesday.

In the photo were hosts Pat Sajak, 76, Vanna White, 66, as well as the celebrity contestants who were supposed to be on the show on October 11.

The next photo featured Rashad Jennings, Marcellus Wiley, and Jared Allen, smiling while playing Wheel of Fortune.

"Tonight, due to an ABC News Special, an all-new #CelebrityWheelOfFortune will return next Wednesday 10/18 at 9/8c on ABC and Stream on Hulu!" they captioned the post.

The ABC Special was scheduled suddenly, as the war in Israel carries on, and was hosted by David Muir.

This caused The $100,000 Pyramid, which usually airs Wednesday at 10pm, to air earlier in the night.

'NUTS!'

Fans flocked to Wheel's social media pages to comment their fury on the change.

"Why can’t they preempt @PyramidABC," asked one fan.

@ABCNetwork you’re preempting the wrong show tonight," wrote an X, formerly Twitter, user.

A third added: "I was looking forward to tonight's show! That's OK, I don't mind waiting another week to solve the puzzles!"

One Instagram user simply wrote: "NUTS!"

"It’s not because of the special. It’s because ABC decided to move Pyramid to Wheel’s time slot. Why is Wheel ALWAYS the first show to get bumped when something comes up last minute?" another Instagram fan pointed out.

"What? No!!" Another fan said.

ORDER UP!

On the last Celebrity WOF episode, Pat forced contestant, Kel Mitchell, to do the Good Burger impression.

The longtime host begged the actor to "do the burger thing," and the Nickelodeon star agreed.

Kel was joined by Kim Fields (The Facts of Life) and magician Penn Jillette.

He led by the first half of the game with $35,000 when Pat interviewed the stars for a second time.

"Will you do me a favor?" Pat asked Kel.

"I don't ask people to perform...[But] do the burger thing, you know," Pat said waving his hand at the contestant.

Kel asked "The burger thing, what's that? Oh!"

The 45-year-old then went into full Good Burger mode and announced: "Welcome to Good Burger, home of the Good Burger, can I take your order?"

He even added a laugh and a "yeah, dude" as the crowd went wild.
