President Donald Trump announced on Tuesday (16) that he would deliver a speech directly from the Oval Office at the White House on Wednesday (17), the same night the season finale is scheduled to air on CBS.

“My fellow Americans: I will be delivering a speech to the nation tomorrow night, live from the White House. I hope to ‘see’ you then. It was a great year for our country, and THE BEST IS YET TO COME!” he said on Truth Social.

CBS Entertainment confirmed that the speech will air as a special bulletin and that the episode of “Survivor” will be postponed.

The three-hour finale of the reality show will resume from where it left off after Donald Trump’s speech.
