Freezing people until a cure is found,
closer than you think, at 11.
The final answer.
What are we talking about?
Of course, it's the guffies.
Thank you very much. Hello everybody and welcome to Thursday Night Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
Now for many of our contestants, this is their first time in New York City and some of them kind of blown away by the fast pace of the city,
dazzled by the lights of Times Square, scared to death by that first wild ride in the New York cab.
Then after all of that, we get them in the hot seat.
I'm surprised they can even remember their own names after all that, but David Vallex has been here before.
And he's not nervous anymore, are you?
No, sir.
But last night you got in there and it was quite a thrill, wasn't it?
It was.
So you have worked in New York City at one point in your life, right?
That's right. I was here for about a year and a half and I worked right downtown at the New York Fed.
You're an attorney now in Chicago.
That's right.
So you came back to New York and visited some of your old haunts, your old restaurants?
Yep. The best restaurants in the world are in New York.
Jen and I went to our favorite and had sushi last night and we're very glad to be back.
We love Chicago, but there's no place like New York.
You know, why can't I get into sushi? I can't.
You know what? It took me about three times until it really caught hold.
Same thing for Jen. First time we took her out for sushi. Didn't like it at all, but after three times a charm and it's very addictive.
Is that raw, Jennifer?
Well, I typically eat the smoked stuff because I'm afraid of the raw.
Yeah, I'm scared to death. And once I saw one wiggle and that was the end of it.
That would be the end for me too.
Once it moves, forget it. It's over.
Well, it's great to have you back, David.
Thank you.
Welcome back to New York. Welcome back to our show.
If you want to play along with David, go to ABC.com right now and click on to our Enhanced TV game.
David has won $2,000. He's just nine questions away from the $1 million level.
Once you reach the $32,000 level, guaranteed to leave you with at least that much money.
Now you have two of your lifelines left, David. 50-50 and you can of course phone a friend.
If you want to go all the way tonight, you will win $1,910,000, David.
So if you're ready, let's do it. Audience, are you ready?
Come on, we're all ready. Let's play who wants to be a millionaire.
$1,910,000 and you've already won $2,000. Going for $4,000. Here it is.
Which of the following household cleaners is named after an ancient Greek warrior?
Ajax, Lysol, Windex, Tide.
I do not do much cleaning, but I believe the answer is A. Ajax, final answer.
Yes, Ajax for $4,000. Good.
Up to $8,000. In December 2000, which of these celebrities graduated from LSU with a Bachelor of Arts degree?
Richard Simmons, Shaquille O'Neal, George Carlin, Jason Priestley.
I believe Shaquille O'Neal had made a promise when he went pro that he would always go back to college and get his degree.
And the rest really don't make sense, I don't think.
So I'm going to conserve some lifelines and go with B, Shaquille O'Neal, final answer.
Shaq, the final answer. Shaq, the right answer for $8,000.
That's it.
Alright, up to $16,000 right now. Which of the following punctuation marks is also known as a bang, period, semicolon, asterisk, exclamation point?
Never heard of this before, Regis.
Exclamation point would make the most sense because it's used for, I guess, accentuating the sentence.
So I'm going to go with exclamation point, D, final answer.
Saving his lifelines and got that one again for $16,000. Exclamation point. Bang.
It's good. Some guys talk themselves out of it, you know, after when you start getting up higher, it gets more complicated.
So, for $32,000, who composed the theme song for the TV show Jeopardy?
Paul Anka, Merv Griffin, Alan Thicke, Henry Mancino.
Merv Griffin is involved in Jeopardy in some way, I believe. I believe he produces the show or created it.
Alan Thicke, actor. Growing pains, I believe.
Let's take two out.
Why don't we do that computer? Remove two of them, please.
Merv or Alan Thicke?
My gut feeling was Merv Griffin and Alan Thicke, he could have composed a theme song before he got involved in acting.
Sometimes people have more than one talent in this business, you know.
Right.
Sometimes, you know, only one talent, but they could do other things.
Merv Griffin seems just... It sounds like that would be too obvious of an answer.
Let's call Barry.
What do you call Barry? Who is Barry?
He's a friend of mine that I worked with in New York. He went to NYU film school and if anybody would know this, he may have the answer.
All right, let's go for it. AT&T, we need Barry on the line. Thanks.
Hello?
Hello, Barry?
Yes.
Hi, Regis Philbin calling from ABC's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
Hi, Regis.
How you doing?
I'm okay. How are you?
I'm good. I'm here with an old pal of yours, David, and he hung up by a question. He's looking to you for a little help here.
Okay.
So he's going to come on and read the question and two possible answers.
Okay.
All yours, David. Thirty seconds right now.
Who composed the theme song for the TV show Jeopardy? Was it Merv Griffin or Alan Thicke?
Well, I know Merv Griffin was the one who came up with the idea of Jeopardy, but Alan Thicke was a TV writer for a long time. I don't know if he wrote music, though. If I had to guess, and it would be a guess, it would be Merv Griffin.
Okay.
What dollar amount are you up to, David?
This is for 32. Thanks, Barry.
Okay.
Well, let's see.
Nothing you didn't know, right?
That's right.
Let's go with Merv Griffin, B, final answer.
Merv did it! You got $32,000!
When did the bank get close to $64,000?
$64,000.
Bite into the cheesy gordita crunch and you'll be rocked by a crunchy taco wrapped in warm flatbread with a melted three cheese blend and spiked with a zesty pepper jack sauce.

Are you paying attention to me?
I have been in the state of habanation, but now I'm back home, very healthy.

Friday and an all new Two Guys and a Girl.
Thanks to modern medicine, a severed limb can be reattached several hours after being chopped off.
Unless, of course, I left it in the cab.
And on Norm, what happens when two best friends start dating each other's ex-girlfriends?
Why don't we go around the room and we'll each say why we feel weird.
It's an all new Norm following an all new Two Guys and a Girl starting at 8, 7 Central Friday on ABC.
In the hot seat.
Just had a harrowing time here.
Trying to make a decision between Alan Thicke and Merv Griffin.
And of course, we all know Merv was responsible for the show and kind of created it, produced it.
But not many people knew that he also wrote the theme song as well.
Man of many talents.
And then he sold it and he's still involved.
Anyway, you're going for $64,000.
How did you prepare for this?
My mom didn't do a lot of reading, but luckily I had my mom and Jennifer keeping me on my toes.
My mom would send me articles in the mail with notes attached that would just say, thought this might help.
And I haven't seen a question yet that would help me, but that's what moms are for.
And Jen would call me at work and she would be watching the show while I was at work.
Diligently, obviously.
And leave me voicemails saying this is the...
202 degrees, 212 degrees, 222 degrees, 232 degrees.
Well, I don't think it's B because the change in altitude causes something to happen with the way water boils.
And whether or not that decreases or increases the temperature, I'm going to have to sit here and think about it.
I'm going to say A, final answer.
Just won $64,000.
Then the one mile above sea level and water boils at a lower temperature above sea level.
Alright, going for $125,000. Let's take a look. Here it comes.
Wisconsin is nicknamed the bachelor state after what group of workers?
Fishermen, miners, trappers, firefighters.
Jen works in Wisconsin.
I have visited Wisconsin more in the past six months than I have in my life, but didn't come across this exact fact.
But you know those nicknames, the bachelor state.
Well, I know that University of Wisconsin are known as the Badgers.
There you go, Dave.
Badger is...I believe, and I have to qualify this because I thought a guppy was a small frog,
but I think a badger is a small furry animal, like something that you would trap.
It's a bit of a guess because I'm not...
$64,000 would be nice.
Take a nice bite of my student loans.
Trappers makes the most sense.
So I'm going to make that my final answer.
No, believe it or not, the answer is miners.
Miners.
I'm sorry about that, David.
The $32,000 not bad.
Thank you very much, sir.
Good luck to you, okay?
Nice meeting you.
Surprised, huh?
Yeah.
Well, here's the answer.
Wisconsin is named the Badger State after the early lead miners who had no time to build houses,
so they lived underground like badgers.
Here's the answer.
But $32,000 will at least put a dent in David's student loans.
Now we have ten people who can't wait for their chance at the big bucks.
They are...
Jerry Davis,
Bill Hine, Michigan, John Pullen, Marysville, Ohio, Richard Chalbeck, New York City,
Larry Coleman, McCain, Pennsylvania, Caleb Burroughs, Milwaukee, Wisconsin,
John Doyle, Memphis, Tennessee, Peter Braxton, Burke, Virginia,

Now let's get right into tonight's first Fast to Sphinx question.

Let's see that answer in the correct order.
Starting with the most recent film, Castaway, The Truman Show, Pulp Fiction,
finally do the right thing.
Who got it right on the Fast to Sphinx?
Let's see. The winner is Peter Braxton.

When we get back, Peter's going to go for 1,910,000 dollars.

Peter Braxton from Berkston, Virginia in the hot seat right now.
He is, well he's a cost analyst supporting the U.S. Navy.
You tell them how much you think something is going to cost.
Yes, we tell them how much their big expensive toys are going to cost and hopefully help them,
make them cost not quite so much.
Well you've been here before.
A couple of years ago we used to have alternates who would accompany the 10 contestants
who are in the seats for the fastest finger.
And then we also brought in two extra people in case somebody got sick.
But for all the money that was at stake here, nobody ever got sick.
And so the alternates really had very little to do.
But you were one of them.
I was.
It was a lot of fun just going through the whole process.
Oh sure.
And something very nice happened to you that weekend.
Yes, well my dream was that somebody would drop out, I would get on the show,
win a million dollars and propose on national television.
To your girlfriend who is sitting behind your back there.
She's Jessica.
Jessica, she's now my fiance.
And I decided that there's a lot of things in life more important than money
and I should seize the opportunity.
So the day after the taping we were walking through Central Park
and I dropped down to one knee and proposed and she said yes.
So I was quite a winner that weekend.
What was that like, Jennifer, to have a man drop to his knees and beg for your hand?
That was wonderful.
I bet it's quite an experience.
So when are you getting married?
June 23rd this year.
Oh, whether you win the million or not.
I've said that if I win a bunch of money we'll have a moon bounce at the reception.
Okay, all right, good enough.
Well let's hope that happens, all right?
You know about the rules by now, Peter.
And you know about the lifelines and how much money you're playing for.
So let's do it.
Let's play Who Wants to Be a Millionaire with Peter Braxton.
Okay, Peter, for $100.

In May of 1970, a Pulitzer Prize winning photograph of a woman kneeling over a man lying face down was taken where?
Kent State University.
V-Li Vietnam.
Woodstock.
Kent Square.
I'm pretty sure this was connected with the Vietnam War.
Woodstock was definitely the summer of 1969, so it wouldn't be Woodstock.
I don't believe it's Red Square either.
I can't recall when the shootings were at Kent State.
I can't recall the date of the Mili Massacre.
I think I'd like to ask the audience on this one.
Sure, we can do that.
Audience, we need some help for Peter.
If you're ready, on your keypads, using A, B, C, or D, vote now.
Well, kind of close, but 53% say Kent State and 42% go to Vietnam.
Remember this?
I think I'm going to go with the audience.
I think I'll say A, Kent State University.
Alright, it's a close vote, but you're going with A. Make that your?
Final answer.
And you got it for $16,000.
Alright, we'll break when we come back.
It goes to 32.

Well, let's talk about Jessica. What do you do, Jessica?
I'm a student right now.
Still in college?
Yes, still in college. I'll be graduating in May.
It's a very exciting time for us. We have a wedding in June.
And I'm majoring in biology and chemistry.
And you're going to go to work in that field, I guess, after you get married?
Yes.

Paris.
You better win some bucks here, pal.
Remember that.
Okay, here's where you are. $16,000.
Got to make it to $32,000, Peter. Very important.
You got two lifelines. You're six away from all this money.
Let's get back to it. Let's play.
$32,000 coming up.
David E. Kelly's production company credit at the end of his TV shows
features an old woman exclaiming what?
Good night. Go away. Bye-bye, you stinker.
I'm very glad I started watching Boston Public this year.
I'm not a big alley or the practice watcher.
Old woman in a rocking chair, she gets knocked over, and she says,
You stinker. D, final answer.
You just won $32,000 for watching that show.
This is another metal lady. It's David Kelly's grandmother.
That's one of her favorite phrases.
All right, $64,000. Peter, in 2000, what city offered a popular new license plate
protesting taxation without representation?
San Juan, Puerto Rico. Boston, Mass. Washington, D.C.
Boston, Texas.
I'm not sure about the year 2000, but I live in the D.C. area.
I remember the story that George W. Bush had these license plates taken off
the presidential limo. I will say C, Washington, D.C. Final answer.
Got that one too for $64,000.
That was in response to Congress's failure to give Washington a full vote in the House.
All right, we're going for $125,000, and he still has two lifelines.
You're just four away now. Four away.
Here it is for $125,000.
What flower comes in a variety of flower types such as spoon, pom-pom, and spider?
Chrysanthemum, geranium, peony, rose.
We have very little idea on this one.
We haven't really talked to the flower people for our wedding yet.
It's all ahead of you.
Anybody on your life, on your photo friend list?
Possibly. My boss does gardening as an avocation.
He raises mostly herbs, but he might know this one.
This is the boss in the office where you work?
Yes.
I think I'd like to give Dick a call.
Why don't we get Dick on the phone, AT&T?
Hello.
Hello, Dick?
Yes.
Regis Philbin calling from New York City. How are you?
Oh, my goodness. I'm fine, thank you.
We've got one of your guys here from the office, and he needs your help.
Oh, well, I'm here. I'm nervous.
Are you? Well, we're all nervous. But he's going for $125,000, incidentally.
All right.
So it's important, and he'll be on now with the question, the four answers.
David, it's all yours. 30 seconds right now.
The flower comes in a variety of flower types, such as spoon, pom-pom, and spider.
Prosanthemum, geranium, peony, rose. 20 seconds.
No clue. Wait a minute. Let me think about that. What are the categories?
The spoon, pom-pom, p-o-m-p-o-n, and spider.
Prosanthemum, geranium, peony, rose.
It's just a complete guess.
Ah, that was tough. Too bad.
We've got one other way to go here, of course. That's narrow it down by two.
And then take a second look at it.
I thought I would do that before calling him, but I thought he'd either know it or not.
Whatever it is, we better do the 50-50. Sure.
Computer, take away two of those wrong answers, please.
What flower comes in a variety of flower types? Spoon, pom-pom, spider.
Trying to picture these mums. Peonies.
You want me to go with A, prosanthemum?
You're going to go for it. You lose 32,000 if you get it wrong.
You want prosanthemum? I think so.
Final answer? Yes.
Yes, you won $125.
Well, hey, we're going to come back this door for a quarter million.
Tommy, I think we should have a talk about responsible spending.
Okay. Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.
If this is the way you sound to your kids when you talk about spending...
Visa bucks. Blah, blah, blah.
Give them a Visa bucks card, the prepaid spending card you put money on and teens can use wherever Visa's accepted.
You set the limits and kids learn some responsibility.
Why didn't he just say Visa bucks?

Peter Braxton is a cost analyst supporting the Department of Navy.
Took a 50% chance there. You got a down of two and you went for it and you got it.
Congratulations. Thank you.
All right, well Peter, you're out of lifelines. Incidentally, your boss was just great.
But you've got three questions away from winning almost two million dollars here.
We're going to take a look at the questions for $250,000 and see what it looks like.
Here it comes. Let's play.
All right, here you go.
How many provinces make up Canada?
Seven, ten, twelve, sixteen.
Dunelof hands are off the top of my head.
I can possibly reason this out. I'm glad the numbers are not within one of each other.
Provinces, Yukon and Northwest Territories are out.
British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba, Quebec, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia,
Prince Edward Island, Newfoundland. That's ten.
Two territories would be twelve, but those are not provinces.
So you counted ten. So it would either have to be ten or are you missing two more to make it twelve?
There's a number there to the east, but I think I got them all.
I'm going to say B, ten.
You can walk with 125. You can lose 93,000. You can win a quarter million.
Still want to make it ten?
Yes, final answer.
Yes, sir.
He's just two away, two away from $1,910,000, the biggest payoff in television history.
But first we've got to get past this question for $500,000. Here it is.
Which of the following authors played the lead role in the original movie based on his own novel?
Richard Wright, James Baldwin, John Updike, Frank Herbert.
Let's go over that question again.
Which of the following authors played the lead role in the original movie based on his own novel?
I haven't heard of this. The only Frank Herbert novel I know made into a movie is Dune.
I was starring Sting. I don't think it would be D.
Richard Wright and James Baldwin are both African American authors.
Native Son, Go Tell It On The Mountain.
Do you remember if they were in those films?
I really don't know this one. $250,000 is a very nice amount of money. I think I'm going to have to quit here.
I understand, sure. So you want to walk at $250,000?
Yes.
Want to take a guess here just for the heck of it?
I think it would either be A or B. I'd guess B, James Baldwin.
No, it was Richard Wright. You had that part of it. But here, $250,000, man. That was great. Good luck to you.
Thanks.
Smart guy.
And who knew? A great kisser, too. Oh boy.
And now he and his fiance have a quarter million dollars to help start their lives together, and that's just great.
But we still have nine guys who want to do exactly what Peter just did. So here's the next Fastest Figure question. Here it comes.
Put these U.S. presidents in order of their birth, beginning with the earliest.
Gerald Ford, Jimmy Carter, Ronald Reagan, John F. Kennedy.
Okay, we're ready here. Let's see that answer now in the correct order, starting with the earliest presidents.
Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, John F. Kennedy, Jimmy Carter.
Who got it right in the Fastest? One, Caleb, Caleb Burroughs.
There you go, Caleb.
How about you, Caleb? You got in there. Good for you.
When we come back, he's going for $1,910,000.
I'm feeling good. I'm taking Wellbutrin SR, an antidepressant with a low risk of sexual side effects. That's important to me.
Wellbutrin SR is clinically proven to effectively treat depression with a low risk of sexual side effects.
Glad I talked to my doctor. Wellbutrin SR works for my depression.
Be open with your doctor. Ask about Wellbutrin SR. It treats depression with a low risk of sexual side effects.
Wellbutrin SR is not for everyone. There is a risk of seizure. To reduce that risk, don't use if you have or have had a seizure or eating disorder.
Don't use if you take Zyban or an MAOI. When used with a nicotine patch or alone, there is a risk of increased blood pressure, sometimes severe.
To reduce risk of serious side effects, tell your doctor if you have liver or kidney problems. Other side effects may include dry mouth, nausea, and difficulty sleeping.
I'm feeling like myself again.
Ask your doctor about Wellbutrin SR, clinically proven to treat depression with a low risk of sexual side effects.

$200. It's a complete acrossword puzzle. A person does what? Locates words on a page, connects the dots, fills in words, cheats. I enjoy doing these myself, so I know that the answer is C, fills in words. That's what you do. You fill in those words.
$200. According to popular nursery rhyme, what bear had no hair? Rare bear winning the poo, fuzzy wuzzy, Rogaine bear.
I remember hearing this when I was a young kid, and the answer would be C, fuzzy wuzzy. Got it right for $200, Caleb. Going for $300.

Most closely related to that. $1,000. What word means to remove or obscure an offensive word in a TV or radio broadcast? Blitz, bleep, blooper, lush.
Well, I hope you won't have to do this to me, but the answer would be bleep. Yes, you'd bleep somebody if you were to fire an offensive.
Caleb is going for $2,000. What is the only communist country in the Americas? Cuba, El Salvador, Argentina, Mexico. Well, I believe that is where they have good cigars, and Fidel Castro is the head of the country. That would be A, Cuba.
Yes. Cuba's the right answer. The only communist country in the Americas. He's up to $4,000. What did magician David Blaine do for 61 hours in November 2000?

Fidel, yes. You were right, Ellie. You got him to once. He won $4,000.
All of a sudden he's up to $8,000. What crime is called piracy when committed at C? Assault, murder, kidnapping, robbery.
I know pirates rob and I believe they kidnap and pillage as well.
Take your time. I'll take your time. I'm going to think about it. Just for a minute. What crime is called piracy when committed at C? Assault, murder, kidnapping, robbery.
Computer pirates steal things. I think that's what they do at C too. They steal gold, whatever, and then they plunder. They call that piracy.
I'm going to say D. Fidel? Yes. Yes for $8,000 and he saved a lifeline.
Well, all right. That sound means that we're out of time for the night, but Caleb will be back here tomorrow night and joining him will be 10 smart people who have conquered the phone game.
