TPIR pre-empted for news coverage (7/22)

Today's TPIR rerun was pre-empted at the midway mark in favor of a CBS News special report on a press conference by the terrorist attack commission.

No complaints here.  Legitimate, important news.  It's not the Laci Peterson trial verdict.

According to this thread:

http://gameshow.ipbhost.com/index.php?showtopic=5011

CBS broadcasted what was supposed to be TOMORROW'S (7/23) episode by mistake. But it didn't matter which episode, as CBS broke into programming around 11:30AM for that special report.

West Coast viewers saw the correct episode for today (7/22).

It's unclear if the 7/23 episode for the East would be the 7/22 episode, or if they will simply repeat the episode that was shown today.

This wouldn't be the one with Todd Newton in the audience and the thoroughly awful game of Plinko, would it?  That's what we got today on the west coast...

 That's the one the East Coast got yesterday. I believe that ep. was supposed to air nationally today.

BTW, did the girl pick up any money in Plinko? CBS cut to commercial after the 3rd drop, and she still had $0.
