Thank you very much.
Hi, everybody.
Good evening, and welcome to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
Well, things are finally back to normal around here after five nights of Celebrity Millionaire.
You know, we gave away one and a half million dollars to charity, but now Jason Thweet is
in the hot seat, and he's hoping he might leave here a star, too, by the time it's time
for him to go.
Nice to see you again.
Nice to be back.
You had a little layoff for a while.
Got your thoughts together?
Tried to.
Did my best with that.
Sure.
The first case you don't remember is a high school teacher, math teacher, from Chester,
Virginia.
That's right.
What's the school you teach at?
I teach at Lloyd C. Byrd High School.
It's right in the middle of Chester Field.
My kids would kill me if I didn't say hello to them.
So my second, third, fifth, and sixth period algebra classes, my seventh period math analysis
class, hello to all of you.
Hello to everyone I know.
Hopefully I'm going to do all right.
Well Jason, it's so great to see you again, and your dad is back there again.
Nice to see you.
This is Jim, right?
Yes.
Yeah, sure.
You must be very proud of your son.
I'm very proud, Ray.
He's acquired three degrees that we know about anyway.
A couple of bachelor's degrees and then a graduate degree in electrical engineering.
Okay, Jason, good to have you back here, and good luck to you.
If you'd like to join Jason as he goes for a million, just log on right now to ABC.com
and play our enhanced TV game.
You'll find it a lot of fun.
Jason has won $1,000.
He's ten questions away from winning $1 million, and once he reaches $32,000, he's guaranteed
to leave here with at least that much money.
Good news, Jason, you have all three of your lifelines left.
50-50.
You can ask the audience, and you can phone a friend.
Okay, Jason, this is it.
Are you ready?
I'm ready.
Audience, this is it.
Are you ready?
Yeah, we're all ready.
Let's play Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
Come on, Jason, just ten to go.
Here it is for $2,000.
In science fiction, which of the following is a robot that is designed to look like a
human being?
Cyborg, android, druid, cyberpunk.
All right.
That would be Android B. I'll make that my final answer.
Good one for $2,000.
Here it is for $4,000.
The 1971 movie The French Connection is about a crime ring that deals in what?
Fine art, jewels, military secrets, heroin.
We just like to ask the audience.
Fine audience, we need some help for this one.
If you're ready, on your keypads, using A, B, C, or D, vote now.
There you go.
Nearly 60% say it was heroin.
For some reason, I thought that was the answer, but that's just a little bit before my time.
They look like a good audience.
The audience tends to do pretty well.
So I'm going to go ahead and go with heroin, D, and I'll make that my final answer.
Audience got it for $4,000.
It's really a terrific movie if you ever have a chance to see it.
I'll see it now.
Okay.
8,000, Jason.
Vermilion is a shade of what color?
Yellow, red, blue, green.
I'm pretty sure that vermilion is a shade of red.
So I'm going to go ahead and go with B. Final answer.
Red is the right answer for $8,000.
Still has two lifelines, seven away from a million dollars.
Here it is for $16,000.
What famous football lineman wrote a 1973 book about needle point for men?
Was it Dan Dierdorf, Roosevelt Brown, Deacon Jones, Rosie Greer?
I think that I'm going to have to phone a friend for this one.
I'd like to call JP.
What does JP do?
He is a senior at Virginia Tech in electrical engineering.
He was one of my students at one time.
Really?
All right, let's get JP on the line, AT&T.
Hello?
JP?
Yes.
Hi, Regis Philbin calling from the ones to be a millionaire.
Hi, Regis.
How are you?
Good.
How are things in Virginia Tech, okay?
Oh, great.
I've got Jason here, you know.
How's he doing?
Well, he's $1,8,000 going for $16,000 and looking to you for a little help.
Okay, well, we hope we can help him.
Yeah, well, he'll come on the line and read the four answers and the question, of course,
and it's all yours, Jason, with 30 seconds.
JP, search football lineman needle point men.
Search football lineman needle point men.
The question is, what famous football lineman wrote a 1973 book about needle point for men?
The choices are Dan Dierdorf, Roosevelt Brown, Deacon Jones, Rosie Greer.
You have eight seconds.
What do you say?
Rosie Greer.
It's Rosie Greer.
How sure are you?
Awesome.
Yes.
100?
100.
Wow, that was a close one.
Got to love them.
Sounds like you had a whole team of men in there.
It's the Virginia Tech attitude.
What can I say?
They seem 100% sure.
I guess you can't get surer than that.
I'll go with Rosie Greer, D, and I'll make that my final answer.
Rosie Greer for $16,000.
Jason, we got to get to $32,000.
You got one lifeline left.
Here it is for $32,000.
Which of these singers is a Gulf War veteran?
Dave Matthews, Tim McGraw, Shaggy, Nelly.
One of them jumps out, but I'm...
Well, I've got to stay in the game.
Let's use the 50-50.
Okay, 50-50.
We have to take away two of those wrong answers, computer, please.
Tim McGraw or Shaggy, was that the one that jumped out?
One of them still...
Mine's still there, but Deceit does a lot of things to you.
But you know what?
I came to play.
I came to play.
I have one more money.
I'm going to go with more money than I came with out of my trip to New York.
I'm going to go ahead and go with C, Shaggy.
And I'll make that my final answer.
Just $132,000.
All right, Jason, 50-50 goes to $64,000.

Most of the time, I'll just ride a few waves and come back in.
You know, sometimes talking about surfing with your friends is better than surfing without
them.
Life tastes good.

It's been eight long years and Cameron Poe is going home.
But he's catching a lift with the deadliest cons alive.
We caught the plane, man.
Welcome to Con Air Cage.
Cusack, Malkovich.
Almost had a day.
The ABC fake picture show, Con Air.
Monday on ABC at 8, 7 Central.
Viewer discretion advised.
Last Sunday, one of their own was murdered.
Tonight, this war is not over.
Let me see.
Let's just stay back here.
I'm Helen.
Now it's this lawyer's turn.
You're a dead man.
You don't think I can hit you from inside?
Jackie.
The practice season finale, ABC Tonight, 10, 9 Central.
Jason, create a high school math teacher from Chester, Virginia in the hot seat.
Just won $32,000 and used all of his lifelines to get there.
But those were questions that you really had to use the lifelines on.
That's right.
Now, you have been around quizzes and trivia for a long time.
That's right.
You've competed in college on that, right?
For my entire college career and actually for two years, three years in high school
before that, I was very active in academic team.
My time in college, I've actually played against quite a few of the people who've been here
on the show.
Some million dollar winners we've had, I think.
That's right.
I played against Dave Goodman when he was at the University of Maryland.
I played against Steve Perry who was just here not too long ago, I guess.
I guess it would have been about three, not more than two or three years ago.
There have been a lot of people and we're a pretty close knit community.
Well, I think it's a great way to get involved in trivia to join the college team or the
high school team and get started.
Well, you're doing fine.
Incidentally, Jim, he began a long, long time ago reading the paper, right?
Yes, he began reading the paper at three and a half.
Really something.
He was destined to sit in this chair.
Yes.
So you won $32,000.
Come on, let's get some more.
All right.
You're five away from a million, going for 64,000.
Let's play.
All right, Jason.
Mogadishu is the capital of what African country?
Angola, Somalia, Ethiopia, Chad.
Mogadishu is the capital of Somalia.
That's going to be B, final answer.
Right, for 64,000.
Let's take it up to 125,000, okay?
Take a look.
The phenomenon of seeing light when pressing one's eyelids is called what?
Phosphine, hydrophobia, cyclophoria, and helium, phosphine.
Okay.
Phosphopia, cyclophoria, and helium.
Helium means sun.
I don't think it's D. I think that phosphine is a gas or a chemical of some sort.
Ortho.
I never took Latin.
Wish I had now.
I keep breaking these words down.
Cyclophoria.
Antihelium.
I know that words like perihelium and aphelium talk about the sun and the distance away from
the sun.
Opia, ophoria.
For means like.
Phosphorescent.
Phosphor means false light.
They both seem like very good answers.
And I'm sure if I had a 50-50 right now.
Well, I don't want to talk about that.
I just miss it more than I do now.
Saiclo.
Round four has to do with light.
Let's go with cyclophoria.
Is this a total guess?
You got some inkling.
I have an inkling.
There are roots in both words that I like.
But right now I'm trying to pull together which of them works out better.
That's more than a first-year teacher makes in a year,
in a lot of places.
So...
All right, you're gonna go for it.
You're gonna try.
Let's say cyclophoria be final answer.
No, Jason, it was phosphate.
Oh, wow.
That's interesting.
That was a tough question.
That was.
But enjoy the money, okay?
It was quite sweet.
Thank you very much.
And good luck to all of you.
Stay with everybody at school.
I certainly will.
Thank you.
Nice guy, huh?
Good kid.
Well, as Jason said, $32,000 goes a long way for someone on a teacher's salary.
And what a fine example this young man is to kids in his classroom and to all of us,
and how lucky they are to have him.
Sad to see him go.
But now we have ten people hoping to get a turn in the hot seat for themselves, and they
are...

Here's tonight's first Fastest Finger question.
Here it comes.
With these fictional TV doctors
in the order of their original debut,
starting with the earliest...
Sydney Hansen, Quincy, Heathcliff, Huxtable,
Mark Green.
Okay, time's up.
Let's see that answer in the correct order,
starting with the earliest TV doctor,
and it was Quincy.
And then Heathcliff, Huxtable, Mark Green.
Finally, Sydney Hansen.
All right, let's see who got it right
in the fastest time, the winner,
Andrew Richardson.
How are you doing, Andrew?
Nice to see you.
We're gonna take a break.
We're gonna come back and answer who's gonna go first.
Thank you.
Thank you.
Thank you.
In 1998, thousands of families
were forced to flee the tragedy in Kosovo.
We at the Philip Morris companies
felt we needed to do something to help them.
So we sent five tons of food...
Hi, I'm Molly from Philip Morris.
...and I went along to see that it got there.
Hi.
Are we gonna make them?
Yeah.
Wanna ride?
I know there's plenty of people
who need help in our own country,
and we do that,
but we couldn't turn our backs on a crisis like this.
For more than 40 years,
the Philip Morris companies have been
one of the largest corporate contributors
to disaster relief efforts in the United States
and around the world.
You know, it's funny, I thought I was coming all this way
to do something that would touch their lives,
but it turns out they were the ones who touched mine.
Working to make a difference,
the people of Philip Morris.

Could this be the beginning of the end?
Thanks, Charlie!

What amount of money would change your life here?
$125, six figures.
Going for $125,000?

Not at all.
Either one will be fine.
All right, you know the rules, Andrew.
You know about the lifeline, so let's play

Regis, I have an idea, but I'd like to ask the audience.
OK, audience, we need some help for Andrew.
If you're ready, on your keypads, using A, B, C, or D,
vote now.
Well, 79% say it's Amnesty International.
It's kind of an overwhelming vote, as you can see.
That's what I thought it was, so I'll go with A,
Amnesty International.
Final answer?
Final answer.
Got it for $1,000.
OK, Andrew, one-third of the way there.
Here it is for $2,000.
Which of these foods would most likely be included in

Take away two of the wrong answers.
Let's go with C, salami.
Final.
Final answer.
Yes, salami for $2,000.
OK, here we go, Andrew, for $4,000.

Hate to use it, but let's phone a friend.
OK, who do you want to call?
George.
What does George do?
I'm not sure, but he's a good friend of my mom's.
OK, fine.
Let's get George on the line, AT&T.
Hello?
Hello, George?
Yeah.
I'm Regis Philburn calling from a wants-to-be millionaire.
Hi, Regis.
How you doing?
I'm doing pretty well.
How's it going?
Good, good.
We're doing fine here.
We have Andrew in the hot seat right now.
He's hung up on a question, and he's calling you for some help.
OK.
So I'll give you the question of the four possible answers,
and you've got 30 seconds, Andrew, and they start now.
George, what country operates the Suez Canal?
A, France, B, Egypt, C, Italy, or D, Sudan?
OK.
Suez Canal to the Mediterranean.
So that would be Egypt.
Egypt?
Yep.
100%?
I'm in the high 90s for Suez supplies there, fellas.
OK, I'm going to go with it.
Thanks a lot.
All right.
Good luck.

acts as his sidekick on most of his TV adventures?
Father, wife, son, mother.
Crocodile hunter family member as the sidekick.
Well, I don't watch the show, so.
You can walk away with $4,000 if you like, Andrew.
You can take a guess.
You've got 25% chance to get it right.
If you miss, you'll go back to $1,000.
Well, I came with nothing, so.
Well, let's try to figure it out.
What family member would serve as a sidekick?
Father, wife, son, mother.
Well, I'm thinking father or son.
Let's go with C, son.
Final answer.
Final answer.
No, it was the wife.
Andrew, I'm sorry, buddy.
If you never saw the show, what are you going to do about it?
Good luck to you.
Thanks very much.
Well, it's only easy if you know the answer,
but as you've never seen the crocodile hunter show,
it's hard to know that answer, isn't it?
But Andrew will have some great stories
to tell the guys back at the Air Force Base.
All right, let's not waste any more time.
Here's the next Fastest Fink of Question.
