Paramount Network’s popular drama, Yellowstone, is gearing up for its Season 5 premiere later this month.
Ahead of the start of new episodes, star Cole, who plays Rip Wheeler on the series, appeared on the Today show on Wednesday to chat about it all.
His interview was placed at the end of the morning show’s broadcast, and fans are furious after time seemingly ran out and producers had to abruptly cut it off.
One angry viewer sarcastically tweeted: “Nice work Today Show!
“One of the biggest stars of Yellowstone (Rip) on your show, make him your last interview then cut him off in mid conversation!!
“Well done. Let the guest speak Savannah! You always talk over the guest!!”
Another confused fan blasted: “What the hell happened this morning with Cole Hauser on the Today show???
“They just cut him off!!?? What? Bad move.”

A third wondered: “Why did you guys cut out on Cole Hauser interview??? It was getting sooo good and BOOM commercial!!!”
Savannah has been very open about her love of Yellowstone.
After her interview with Cole aired on Wednesday, she took to Instagram to share some fun behind-the-scenes shots.
On her feed, she shared a smiling selfie of her posing with the actor, captioning it: “The whole place was starstruck over @colehauser22.”
Over on her IG Story, the anchor shared a few more photos to show how much she loves the drama series and its cast.
“LET IT RIP,” Savannah wrote with a pic of her and Cole, along with an arrow pointing to herself that read, “Shameless fan girl.”
Another photo featured her, Cole, and Carson all on the Today show couch together for the interview.
Savannah insisted: “Carson also starstruck slightly I think.”
“Dear diary, Today was an A+ day,” the 50-year-old playfully wrote alongside a shot of her looking like she’s daydreaming on the set of the morning show.
At the end of Yellowstone’s fourth season, the show left off with the Montana ranch family in the midst of a wedding, legal troubles, and a blackmail plot leading to murder.
The fifth season hits screens on November 13, with a two-hour-long premiere on the Paramount Network.
All of the fan-favorites are returning for Season 5, including Kevin Costner as patriarch John Dutton, Luke Grimes as son Kayce, Kelly Reilly as daughter Beth, and Wes Bentley as son Jamie.
There will also be a few fresh faces this season, with country singer Lainey Wilson joining the cast as Abby and American Horror Story’s Kai Cater joining as Rowdy.
Dawn Olivieri, who has already starred in the show’s prequel series 1883, join the Yellowstone cast in the role of Sarah Atwood.
Fans can currently watch seasons 1-4 of Yellowstone on the Peacock streaming service, which has exclusive rights to past seasons.
The hit show has been filmed in Darby Montana since the first season and uses the picturesque Chief Joseph Ranch as its set.
The site is a real working cattle ranch in Montana and is also available to stay at for fans of the show.
