00:00I'm Jimmy Kimmel, and thank you for joining us for a new season of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
00:23Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
00:53Let's do it. Let's bring out our first dynamic duo.
00:57One of our players tonight is a game show host himself.
01:01He runs the ship on The Price is Right.
01:03The other is the star of Criminal Minds Evolution.
01:06Please say hello to Drew Carey and Aisha Tyler.
01:19Thank you for coming.
01:23How are you?
01:29Very good to have you here.
01:30I didn't even realize you two were pals.
01:32I did not know that.
01:34Yeah, we had the same manager for a while.
01:35We did.
01:36We're literally like the brother and sister from another mother because we've had parallel lives.
01:41We both hosted Whose Line Is It Anyway?
01:42People don't realize when you have the same manager in show business, it is like growing up together.
01:48It is like being a sibling.
01:49It is.
01:50It's even closer than a sibling relationship in a lot of ways.
01:54It's true.
01:54It's great to have you here.
01:56Drew, you're on a game show set all the time.
01:58All the time.
01:58So this must be second nature to you.
02:00Yeah.
02:01I'm like, yeah.
02:01Is it disorienting that we're not all wearing name tags?
02:05Would you prefer that for?
02:06Yeah.
02:07If I forget your name, I'm really sorry.
02:10It's Tom.
02:12Aisha, have you played Millionaire before?
02:14I haven't played it.
02:15I mean, I'm a big game show person.
02:17I love them and I've been on some of the other ones, but this is my first time.
02:19Drew won $500,000 with Regis, right?
02:22Well done.
02:24So, yeah.
02:26So you're in good shape here.
02:28What charities are you playing for tonight?
02:30I'm playing for the International Rescue Committee.
02:32They work to provide humanitarian services in war-torn areas around the world, support
02:37for people who have been affected by war violence, and they specifically focus on helping women
02:41and children put their lives back.
02:43That's serious.
02:45And Drew, Mike's charity is called the Lameda Project, and it's a mental health charity
02:49I'm on the board of.
02:51Very nice.
02:52Great.

04:52You were.
04:53Were you?
04:53I knew it.
04:54Yeah, I mean, they have a Celebrity Hall of Fame online I got inducted into, and I'd never
04:58been booed harder in my life.
05:00Really?
05:00Yeah.
05:01You didn't get to hit anybody over the head with a folding chair or anything like that?
05:04No, I wrestled the Undertaker.
05:07Oh, the Undertaker.
05:08Yeah, lifting me up on my throat, and it was great.

05:34That's right.
05:35Dots, dot, dot, dot.

06:18Yes, Abbott Elementary.
06:20We're a third of the way there.
06:21You're only 10 questions away from a million dollars.
06:23It's very exciting.
06:25You know, Drew and I are both big game people.
06:27We host games.
06:28We play games.
06:29So I'm sure other people are chatting.
06:30And Drew and I are just like, this answer, this answer, this answer, I'm not not nerds there.
06:33I can see, Aisha.
06:34You're very serious about it.
06:36I just, the dork in me, like the 13-year-old nerd in me is really like on fire right now.
06:40You're the one raising her hand.
06:42Oh, the teacher was like, does anyone but Aisha want to answer this question?

06:49Next question is for $2,000.

07:05Conclave, I'm Still Here, The Substance, Gladiator 2.
07:11Oh, yeah.
07:12A, Conclave, final answer.
07:15That's right.
07:16Yeah.
07:16When the Pope died.
07:18Yeah, when the Pope died.
07:19They had to come up with a new Pope.
07:20Right?
07:21So glad it wasn't Gladiator 2.
07:24Or if it was The Substance, that would have been really weird.
07:27Some of the, I think the Pope himself said he watched the movie to see how it was going to go.
07:33Lighting his nails.
07:35How does it work?
07:36All right.
07:36You're doing well.
07:37You've got $2,000.

08:00It's great to be old sometimes, you guys.
08:03And see, White Wedding, final answer.
08:05All right.
08:06It's White Wedding.
08:07That's right.
08:07It is a nice day.
08:10We'll start again.
08:14Drew, didn't you once wrestle Billy Idol?
08:16No, I saw him in concert in Cleveland.
08:18I have a whole other story, but never mind.
08:19If that ever happens, please call me over.
08:22I feel like you will have an anecdote for each of our questions.
08:25I do.

08:49Wow, Aisha, you were fast with that.
08:53And yes, that is absolutely correct.
08:55Let's take a break.
09:00Drew Carey and Aisha Tyler are here.
09:02We're going for a million dollars.
09:03Let me come back.
09:04We're back with millionaire Drew and Aisha are in the hot seats.
09:20They're doing really well.
09:22I mean, no hesitation whatsoever with any of the answers thus far.
09:25Just the nerd foo is strong between us.
09:27Yeah, I knew we were in trouble when you both showed up in glasses.
09:34Should we keep going?
09:35Yeah.
09:36Let's play millionaire.
09:37We've got $8,000.
09:43You've got all four of your lifelines.
09:45The next question is for $16,000.
09:48Visitors see a historic sign behind glass that reads,
09:51this is a rated premises the moment they walk inside what New York City landmark?
09:58Carnegie Hall, Stonewall Inn, New York Stock Exchange, Apollo Theater.
10:05Yes.
10:05Yeah.
10:06Yeah.
10:07B, Stonewall Inn, final answer.
10:10Wow, you guys are very, very fast and very, very right.
10:14Dude.
10:14You've been there?
10:21Have you seen it?
10:22I have.
10:23Yeah.
10:23You have?
10:23I have been there.
10:24It helps to get around, doesn't it?
10:28That's not what my mom said.
10:32Your next question is for $32,000.
10:35You have four lifelines, all of them left.
10:38With a whopping 11, which of these singers has more number one hits
10:42on the Billboard Hot 100 than the other three combined?
10:46Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Tina Turner, Britney Spears.
10:52Ooh.
10:53Mm.
10:53God, this is a good one.
10:55I think it's A or B.
10:57I think, I actually think it's A or D.
10:59A or D?
10:59Yeah.
11:00Oh, no, see, yeah, Celine didn't have number ones, right?
11:02Mm.
11:03But Whitney for sure.
11:04Whitney for sure.
11:05Britney for sure.
11:06Yeah.
11:07But more than the other three combined.
11:09Do you want to chance it?
11:10Yeah, maybe, I don't know.
11:11I feel like we might want to use one of our lifelines.
11:14Uh, I agree.
11:16Yeah?
11:17Yeah.
11:17Okay.
11:18You want to go to the audience?
11:19The other one is Ask You, right?
11:20Yeah, that's one of them.
11:21Yeah.
11:22Is this off the top of your head, or do you already know this, or?
11:25Well, I can't say that.
11:30What is the answer, Jimmy?
11:33I mean, I can't tell you a general fact about me.
11:37Okay.
11:37Oh, I can't?
11:41Okay.
11:41I'm told I can't.
11:48This is a tough one.
11:49I mean, um...
11:51It's got to be Whitney.
11:53Um, I...
11:54But the wild thing is, Britney was still making records for, like...
11:57I mean, you know, we lost Whitney.
11:58You know what I mean?
11:59Yeah, yeah.
11:59Um, and Britney just was like a dance...
12:02She was just churning out dance hits and waving knives around in her living room.
12:09Yeah, I'm having trouble naming 11 number one hits by Whitney.
12:13She had some good ones.
12:14Got good ones, but I'm...
12:1511?
12:16Right.
12:17But that...
12:17What's crazy is, if...
12:19Let's just say, uh, that we picked Britney.
12:23Okay.
12:23That means that...
12:24That Celine, Whitney, and Tina had fewer than 11 combined, and that seems crazy to me, too.
12:30Yeah.
12:31Because she had What's Love Got To Do With It, and...
12:34She, obviously, she had the one about the boat.
12:37Celine was singing about a boat.
12:39Yeah.
12:39And a diamond.
12:41She was...
12:42You know, um...
12:44And then there was something about touching you.
12:46When you touch me, we touch each other.
12:48But with, like, a French accent.
12:52That's every other song.
12:53That's every...
12:53That is all songs ever written.
12:55All right.
12:56You want to go with the audience?
12:57Audience, yeah.
12:57Okay, we're going to go with the audience.
12:59Okay.
12:59I trust crowdsourcing an answer.
13:01That's a...
13:02Yeah.
13:02Always pretty much works out.
13:04Yeah.
13:04That's what you do at a party.
13:06Yeah, that always goes great.
13:07If you don't have Wi-Fi, you just ask anybody know who the thing...
13:09Yeah.
13:09And everybody pipes in.
13:11Yeah.
13:11What kind of Burning Man festival are you at that doesn't have Wi-Fi?
13:16Oh.
13:16Well, I mean, you know, every once in a while you're...
13:18You know.
13:20Um...
13:20All right.
13:21I swear, I just hope there are some young people who love dancing in the clubs in this room.
13:26We're going to go with the audience for our lifeline.
13:27Yeah, we don't have to go with them anyway.
13:28Yes.
13:29Okay.
13:29All right, audience.
13:30Drew and Aisha need some help.
13:32Get your keypads ready.
13:34On your keypads, vote now.
13:40All my gay friends that love Britney Spears are like, I cannot believe.
13:46All right, the audience has voted.
13:51It seems that some of your gay friends are here.
13:54Hi!
13:55Hi.
13:56All right.
13:57Um, well, we are going to go...
13:58We also, after discussion, think that it is D.
14:01Yeah.
14:02Yes?
14:02Britney Spears.
14:04Final answer.
14:07Balls.
14:08Oh, you should have asked me.
14:10Are you serious?
14:11Really?
14:12Yeah.
14:13Because the answer is Whitney Houston.
14:16Wow!
14:18Oh, brutal.
14:20Brutal, brutal, brutal, brutal, brutal.
14:21Britney had five.
14:23Celine had four.
14:24Tina Turner only had one.
14:27Whitney had 11 number one hits.
14:29Wow.
14:29Well, we knew it was one of the two of them.
14:31You did get that part.
14:33The answer rhymed with Ittany.
14:36That was for sure.
14:37Drew, I feel like you did know that somewhere deep inside you.
14:41And, you know what?
14:42That was the first one I pointed to, I think.
14:43It is.
14:44No, we were between these two.
14:45And I will say that learning to love yourself...
14:48Oh, no.
14:49...is the greatest love of all.
14:53And it's something you should think about, Drew.
14:56You guys were great.
14:57I'm so sorry that that happened.
14:59I blame them, by the way.
15:01I do, too!
15:02I mean, it's really their fault.
15:04I think we talked him into it.
15:06I think each of these people owes your charity $800.
15:11The good news is we're still going to donate $32,000 to your charity.
15:15I'm sorry, it's over.
15:17Drew, Carrie, Aisha, Tyler.
15:20We will be back to play more of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
15:24You should have missed the goal.
15:25You should have asked him.
15:27You should have asked him.
15:31Welcome back to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
15:40We are in for a special treat.
15:42Our next player may be the greatest game show contestant of all time.
15:47He won so many games on Jeopardy!
15:48They asked him to host the show.
15:51Please welcome the man, the myth, the legend, Mr. Ken Jennings.
15:54How are you?
15:59Thank you for coming.
16:01Please, Ken.
16:07Ken, how are you?
16:10Very good to see you.
16:12Thanks for having me, Jimmy.
16:13Thank you for doing this.
16:14This is an honor to have you here.
16:16It really is.
16:17I'm a little stressed out right now.
16:18I'm not going to lie.
16:19You told me we ran into each other at an event, and you said you think that Millionaire is
16:24actually harder than Jeopardy!
16:26You weren't supposed to say that on TV, Jimmy.
16:28Oh, okay.
16:29No, that's absolutely right.
16:31I mean, Jeopardy! has tough stuff, but on Jeopardy!
16:34if you don't know a particular clue, you can just hang back and wait for the next one.
16:38Like here, a myth really can stop you.
16:40And you're so good at this, you decided you didn't even need a partner.
16:44You're going to go it alone, which I think is incredible, right?
16:47Oh, Jimmy Kimmel, I do have a partner.
16:50Oh, you do have a partner.
16:52Oh, no!
16:58No, no, no, no.
17:02Oh, no.
17:03Thanks, Ken.
17:06Oh, no.
17:07Yeah.
17:09Yeah.
17:11Yeah.
17:13What is it?
17:14I did it.
17:17You did nothing.
17:19I don't know what you did.
17:22I finally made it on your show.
17:25No, you didn't.
17:25Guillermo, where is Guillermo?
17:27Guillermo's not here.
17:28He couldn't stop me.
17:30Wait a minute.
17:30I don't know.
17:31What's going on here?
17:32This is not.
17:32You know, I'm going to tell you what's going on.
17:34This is what's going on.
17:35This is like if you challenged me to a pickup basketball game and I showed up at the park with
17:40Michael Jordan because this dude is the Michael Jordan of trivia.
17:45I look at it like this.
17:49I look at it as if Michael Jordan showed up with a hemorrhoid.
17:55I did not want to do this by myself.
17:57And I had the feeling that Matt Damon is not just a good hang.
17:59You're right.
18:00He's not a good hang.
18:01This is a betrayal.
18:02I am outraged.
18:04Game show hosts don't do this to each other.
18:06And my lawyers will be in touch with you, Ken Jennings.
18:09Is there a game show host code?
18:10Well, there was.
18:11Now there's not anymore.
18:13I'm just very excited to finally be on your show.
18:15You're not on my show.
18:17This is not my show.
18:18I'm not on your stupid show.
18:20I'm on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
18:21That's way better.
18:23Way better.
18:24I don't know what the point of this is.
18:26I don't know.
18:26Do you think he's going to help you?
18:28I think he's going to be great.
18:29What charity are you playing for, Ken?
18:31We're playing for water.org, Matt?
18:33Water.org is what we're playing for.
18:34Match Charity.
18:35Oh, I see what this is about.
18:38Diabolical.
18:39The 2.2 billion people around the world do not have access to clean water.
18:44And so if we can make it all the way to the million bucks, just $5 with our program will
18:49give someone safe water for life.
18:51So we could help hundreds of thousands of people if we can.
18:54If that can make, can get us there.
18:56All right.
18:57Well, I guess I have no choice.
18:59We are 15 questions away from $1 million for water.org.
19:05The rules are simple.
19:06You have four lifelines to help you.
19:08Are you ready to play?
19:09Let's do it.
19:10I've been binge watching this on Hulu.
19:13I'm ready to play.
19:14Let's play Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
19:16Here we go.
19:16For $100, a popular role-playing game described as the nerdiest of nerdy pastimes is called
19:29Dungeons and What?
19:31I actually know this one.
19:33See, this is why I brought Matt Damon.
19:35For the nerd culture.
19:36I'm like, this, I actually, oh, you got to read, you got to read the, yeah, what you
19:40do in this situation is you be quiet while I read the question.
19:44I'm just excited that I'm actually going to contribute to this partnership.
19:48Doritos.
19:50Dragons.
19:51Deodorant.
19:53Celibacy.
19:57Dungeons and what?
19:58I was very into it as a youngster.
20:02It is Dungeons and Dragons, obviously, you know that, I think.
20:05Dragons.
20:06Should we lock it in?
20:07Lock it in.
20:07Okay, Dragons, B, final answer.
20:09Final answer is dragons.
20:11Yeah, he got one right.
20:12It's dragons.
20:13That's right.
20:16Contributing already.
20:19Oh, it must make you so sick, Jimmy.
20:20I love it.
20:21It is.
20:21It's making me, I'm feeling nauseated right now.
20:24Next question's for $200.
20:26Which of these words is derived from a Latin term meaning mother's brother?
20:32Niece, nephew, sister, uncle.
20:36It's uncle, right?
20:37I like it.
20:37Your mother's brother is your uncle?
20:39We're going to go with D, final answer, uncle.
20:42Your final answer is uncle.
20:43That is correct.
20:44Uncle is the correct answer.
20:46You've got $200.
20:50Sadly, Matt, by court order, has to stay 500 feet away from his nephews.
20:56Wow.
20:57Oh, you didn't know that?
20:59Oh, yeah.
21:01Next question is for $300.
21:04Made by Nabisco, teddy grams are shaped like what animals?
21:09Worms, bears, flamingos, crabs.
21:13You ever had a teddy gram, Matt?
21:15Nobody has crabs in that beard.
21:20Wow.
21:21No, my mom used to put these in my lunch.
21:22Ah, fantastic.
21:23Like, let's give it up for mom.
21:25Yeah, they are bears.
21:26They're little bears.
21:30You're on board?
21:30I'm on board.
21:31Okay.
21:32Final answer.
21:33Thanks, mom.
21:34B bears.
21:35B bears is right.
21:37Thanks, mom.
21:37That is the right answer.
21:41You guys, you want to walk away now?
21:43You've got $300.
21:45No.
21:46You sure?
21:47Yeah.
21:48$500 question is...
21:51Achieving statehood in 1912, what is the newest state with the word new in its name?
21:57New Hampshire?
21:58New York?
21:59New Mexico?
22:00New Jersey?
22:01Well, the other three are all, I think, original 13 colonies.
22:07Yeah, they're in the Northeast.
22:09Look at him pretending he knows what you're saying.
22:10I'd say, hey.
22:13Matt's good on geography.
22:14We were talking backstage.
22:15That's right.
22:16Oh, you were?
22:17Oh, how nice.
22:20He's lovely.
22:20Jim, have you ever tried just talking to Mr. Matt Damon?
22:23No, he won't.
22:24And that's the root of all of our problems.
22:26I feel like I could broker something here.
22:29I'm like Jimmy Carter.
22:30I could bring you two together.
22:31There's nothing that can bring us together.
22:32I hate that.
22:34Passion.
22:35It's New Mexico.
22:36I like it.
22:37Yeah.
22:37C, final answer, New Mexico.
22:39C, New Mexico.
22:40Yeah, that is absolutely right.
22:42New Mexico, 1912.
22:45All right.
22:45The others were in the late 1700s.
22:49Next question is for $1,000.
22:51Clucking in at just 34 seconds, the shortest Billboard Hot 100 hit ever is Jack Black's
22:58Steve's Lava Chicken, a song from what 2025 film?
23:02A Minecraft movie?
23:04Snow White?
23:05Lilo and Stitch?
23:07Novocaine?
23:10So I was talking to my teen last night at dinner.
23:12I was like, what do I not know that the teens can tell me for Millionaire?
23:18And he said, did you see the Minecraft movie?
23:19Really?
23:19And I had not, but Jack Black is in...
23:23Jack Black is definitely in the Minecraft movie.
23:25I've been working, so I haven't had a chance to see it, though.
23:27Apparently, everyone else in America, other than you and I, have seen this movie.
23:31Yeah, all the good people have seen it.
23:34Wow, now you're attacking...
23:35Why am I catching strays in the Kimmel-Damon feud?
23:39You brought this scroungy animal into this room.
23:44It's got to be a Minecraft movie.
23:45It's got to be, yeah.
23:46I love it.
23:47Final answer, A, a Minecraft movie.
23:49A Minecraft movie is your final answer, and that is absolutely correct.
23:53Yes, a Minecraft movie.
23:55Absolutely.
23:55All right, Ken.
23:56We hear that a lot in my house.
23:59We're going to take a break.
24:01Ken Jennings and his friend are here.
24:03We'll be back with them to play more of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?
24:07Thank you, God.
24:08We're going good.
24:08We're going good.
24:09Welcome back to Millionaire, where Ken Jennings was invited and our other participant was not.
24:25Matt Damon has weaseled his way onto our set and is playing along with Ken.
24:31Ken, are you tired from carrying him yet?
24:34Jimmy, are you watching the same game?
24:35He's doing great.
24:36I don't see that.
24:37I got a few hundred bucks for us already.
24:39Is this how it works with Ben when you guys write something?
24:42He does all the work and you just sit there and nod?
24:44Pretty much.
24:45Pretty much?
24:46Yeah, pretty much.
24:46What a life.
24:47What a life you've had.
24:48I'm particularly good at choosing partners.
24:51It seems so, yes.
24:52That seems to be my skill.
24:53You're playing for water.org.
24:55An excellent charity.
24:56I will give you that.
24:57Can we keep going?
25:00Yeah.
25:01Absolutely.
25:01Let's play Millionaire.
25:05You've won $1,000, which means you're only 10 questions away from this being over for me.
25:13The next question is for $2,000.
25:15A rock hound is a nickname for someone who specializes in what scientific field?
25:24Botany, geology, anatomy, psychology.
25:29You seem confident about this one, too?
25:31I would think, yeah.
25:33I mean, geology being...
25:34Rocks.
25:35Yeah.
25:35Right.
25:36I played a botanist in The Martian.
25:38You played a genius in Good Will Hunting and you certainly aren't one of those.
25:41So who cares if you played a botanist?
25:43It's called acting, Jimmy.
25:45Yeah, no, I like B.
25:47I like B.
25:47B, yeah.
25:48Geology, final answer.
25:49Geology is your final answer.
25:51That is the correct answer.
25:52Yeah, so rock hound.
25:53Rock hound is the right answer.
25:55All right.
25:55All right.
25:59What kind of movie requires you to look like a homeless wizard?
26:04I'm doing The Odyssey, which will come out next summer, July 17th.
26:08Oh!
26:10Right.
26:11Right.
26:12I read that in high school.
26:16Boring.
26:17Oh.
26:18This one's not.
26:19I can promise you that.
26:21I'll be the judge of that.
26:22The next question is for $4,000.
26:25Though Donatella will still serve as its chief brand ambassador, what Italian fashion house was bought by rival Prada in 2025 for a reported $1.4 billion?
26:36Armani, Fendi, Gucci, Versace.
26:45Donatella, Versace.
26:46They gave us Donatella.
26:47Yeah.
26:48Yeah.
26:48It's got to be Versace.
26:49You probably were Versace.
26:53I've met Donatella.
26:54She's lovely.
26:55Look at this.
26:55Oh, what a big shot.
27:00Yeah, it's Versace.
27:02Final answer, D, Versace.
27:04D, Versace is right.
27:06Yeah, you got that, Ken.
27:07It's Versace.
27:07I do not like where this is headed.
27:16Your next question is for $8,000.
27:19In Philadelphia, a sculpture that reads yo from one side but a different word from the other side sits in front of a museum dedicated to what?
27:29Astronomy?
27:31Jazz?
27:32Jewish history?
27:33Classic cars?
27:34So, I don't actually know this cold, but I've seen the pictures of it.
27:41It looks like it says oy from one side and yo from the other, which means it's going to be Jewish history, right?
27:48Yes, Ken.
27:53Absolutely.
27:54You really sold that?
27:55No, I...
27:56You look like a rabbi.
27:58I mean, it's a reasonable question to ask.
28:00I should know.
28:01You should know.
28:02I love it pretty good.
28:03Lock it in.
28:04Let's do it.
28:05C, Jewish history.
28:06Final answer.
28:07C is your final answer, and C is the correct answer.
28:10Yes, baby.
28:11Oy!
28:19The next question is for $16,000.
28:21With stops in Maui, Taramina, and Koh Samui, Four Seasons offers a jet-sitting tour inspired by locations featured in what TV series?
28:34The Last of Us, Succession, The Bear, The White Lotus.
28:38It would be a very different version of The Last of Us if they were...
28:43Yes, for sure.
28:44If they were at these fancy resorts.
28:46I'm a fan of all these shows, and I've seen all these shows, so I actually do know this one.
28:51And what is it?
28:52The White Lotus, D.
28:54D, White Lotus, final answer.
28:55Your final answer is absolutely correct.
29:00That one was in my wheelhouse.
29:02Right in my wheelhouse.
29:06Congratulations, Matt.
29:07You know how to watch TV.
29:08You got $16,000.
29:12Next question's for $32,000.
29:16Prince wrote the hit song, 1999, after watching a documentary about what historic figure?
29:23Nostradamus, Rasputin, Plato, Charlemagne.
29:33I gotta say, I have never heard this fact.
29:39I'm a big Prince fan.
29:41Me too.
29:43And he's writing about the future.
29:45He's writing about the future.
29:461999 is still, you know, about 15 years away when he writes this, so you'd think...
29:50It's not gonna be Charlemagne.
29:51You'd think Nostradamus, right?
29:53Yeah.
29:53Because it's somebody...
29:54Yeah, Nostradamus.
29:58You might as well be talking to an empty chair right now.
30:02I'm a sounding board, Jimmy, for Ken.
30:05That's a nice way of putting it.
30:06I mean, I'm trying to think of any world where it makes sense if it's Rasputin, right?
30:10No, no, no, no.
30:11It's a song about partying and predicting, you know, predicting a party in the future.
30:14Yeah.
30:14I'm feeling pretty good about Nostradamus.
30:17I'll take your pretty good.
30:18I like it.
30:21It's a lot of pressure, though.
30:23Oh, if we get bounced on, I'm never gonna hear the end of this.
30:26Okay.
30:26Yeah.
30:26You got a lot of pressure, too, for a different reason, right?
30:29Yeah, because nobody wants you here.
30:30I'm a little worried about Ask the Host right now.
30:35After...
30:35Yeah, I might have burned that lifeline just by showing up.
30:41I didn't think about that.
30:43Yeah, yeah.
30:44I guess I did swear an oath, but...
30:47Oh, did you have an oath that you have to give the answer if you know it?
30:51I swore an oath to Regis.
30:53To Regis.
30:54Uh-huh.
30:55Who's watching us right now?
30:56I hope so.
30:57Frowning on you, but smiling on the ears.
31:00No, he's not.
31:00Oh, yes, he is.
31:01He hated you.
31:01Regis was a real...
31:02He told me.
31:03Regis was a real talk show host, and he really liked me.
31:06No.
31:06You know what?
31:07His last words to me were,
31:10Don't ever let him on the show.
31:17All right.
31:18Is there any other one that tempts you?
31:22There isn't.
31:24Right.
31:24Like, although, like, I don't know if I know every word of the lyrics to 1999, so...
31:30I was dreaming when I wrote this, forgive me if it goes astray,
31:34but when I woke up this morning, could have sworn it was Judgment Day.
31:38The sky was all purple.
31:39There were people running everywhere, trying to run from the destruction.
31:42You know, I didn't even care.
31:44They say 2000-00.
31:46Yeah.
31:46Yeah, I mean...
31:48I had no idea you had such a beautiful singing voice.
31:55I thought you were just having a vision.
31:56I didn't even know that was the song.
31:58It's got to be Nostradamus.
31:59I love it.
31:59I love it.
32:00I think we should just do it.
32:01Do it.
32:01Lock it in.
32:02A. Nostradamus, Jimmy.
32:03Final answer.
32:07Nostradamus predicted the world would end in 1999.
32:10Like you, he wasn't too bright.
32:14Nostradamus.
32:19But in this case, you were right.
32:22It's Nostradamus.
32:23Yeah.
32:24Nice.
32:25Nice job.
32:25Nice job.
32:27We've got $32,000.
32:30We're going to take a break.
32:31We'll be back with them to play for Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
32:40Welcome back to Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Ken and Matt, is it?
32:49Yes.
32:50Yes.
32:50You are five correct answers away from a million dollars.
32:54You have four lifelines, all of them left.
32:57Let's play millionaire.
32:59Here we go.
33:04Next question is for $64,000.
33:06Which of these acclaimed novels is the only one that was originally written in English?
33:14Around the World in 80 Days, All Quiet on the Western Front, A Passage to India, Love
33:20in the Time of Cholera.
33:22Oh.
33:23It's nice when you...
33:25I think I know all four of these works.
33:27I think I do, too.
33:28So, you can't even read.
33:31What are you talking about?
33:32I was an English major, man.
33:33I actually had to read at one point in my life.
33:36Which one was originally written in English?
33:41Well, Gabrielle Garcia Marquez.
33:44Right.
33:45Love in the Time of Color would be Spanish.
33:46Spanish.
33:47All Quiet on the Western Front, which my daughter just read for eighth grade.
33:51It was a great book.
33:52And there was a great movie made about it, actually, a couple years ago.
33:55Ed Berger.
33:56Fantastic.
33:56So, that's German.
33:57German.
33:58And then, Around the World in 80 Days is Jules Verne.
34:03Yeah.
34:03French author.
34:04Passage to India is E.M. Forster.
34:07Like, I actually haven't read it, but I've read Howard Zand and Room with a View in there
34:12in English.
34:12Yeah.
34:13I think it's C. It's C, right?
34:15Yes.
34:16I am very, very, very confident about that.
34:19Me too.
34:19I'm feeling good about this.
34:21C. Passage to India.
34:22Final answer.
34:23Final answer is a passage to India, which has the word India in it.
34:30So, it seems like it would be unlikely to be the correct answer.
34:37I don't believe Matt's saying he read any of these books.
34:41But you got it right.
34:42It's a passage to India.
34:44That's correct.
34:45You see what you did there?
34:48So, now that you know I'm playing, you think you're going to get us with a trick.
34:53But it didn't work, because we were ready for you.
34:56No, I have nothing to do with any of this.
34:58I'm just seeing it for the first time.
35:01But thanks for embarrassing me in front of the audience.
35:05Are those hair extensions coming from your face?
35:08There's no way you have enough testosterone to grow that beard on your own.
35:12This took me like a year to get this.
35:14Matt is playing for actors without razors.
35:19Next question is for $125,000.
35:22Oh, boy.
35:22In a popular Spanish New Year's Eve tradition, revelers attempt to eat and swallow 12 of which food before the midnight bell tolls 12 times?
35:35Pimentos?
35:36Grapes?
35:38Anchovies?
35:40Hazelnuts?
35:40You're a well-traveled guy.
35:44Yeah.
35:45You, uh...
35:45My brother-in-law lives in Spain.
35:47I used to live in Spain.
35:48I was in Spain for New Year's a couple times.
35:50So, do you know this?
35:51Yes.
35:51It's grapes, right?
35:52Yes, yes.
35:53Yeah, the 12 uvas.
35:54Grapes.
35:55So, yeah, I've done this tradition myself.
35:58Weirdly, we both have some weird connection to this Spanish New Year's tradition.
36:02Um...
36:03I like the way you're handling this, Ken.
36:05It's like, bring your daughter to work day.
36:09You know the answer immediately, or gently, including Matt.
36:12Matt knew the answer immediately.
36:15It's final answer B, grapes.
36:16Your final answer is B.
36:18Uvas.
36:19Grapes.
36:21You've done this?
36:22Yeah.
36:23Is it supposed to be a challenge to eat 12 grapes?
36:27It seems pretty easy now that I think about it.
36:30You have, like, a minute.
36:32To do it.
36:33Because, like, the bell is tolling, or whatever.
36:35You're supposed to do it while the chimes of midnight are tolling.
36:38Mm-hmm.
36:39I didn't say it was interesting.
36:40One for each month.
36:41Oh, right.
36:41Matt, I was imagining you'd have 12 nuts in your mouth at midnight.
36:49What?
36:50Can you even say that?
36:51I guess it's your show, but, I mean...
36:54The correct answer is B, grapes.
36:57Yeah, that's right, Matt.
37:00Well done.
37:02Happy New Year.
37:03We're going to take a break.
37:05We're going for a lot of money when we come back.
37:08I'll have to add it up on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
37:10Welcome back to Millionaire.
37:26Ken Jennings and Matt Damon are in the hot seat.
37:30You guys are really making a mockery of the game, I have to say.
37:35We've only got three questions left.
37:36You've got all of your lifelines.
37:39I mean, Ken, obviously you've been carrying the load, but maybe you get lucky and, like,
37:42the questions will fall into one of Matt's areas of expertise, like eating Tide Pods or trying to open jars.
37:50That kind of thing.
37:52Are you ready to do this?
37:53We are so ready.
37:54Okay.
37:55Let's play Millionaire.
37:57Your next question is for $250,000.
38:07Believed to help them conserve energy, vertical sleeping is a unique behavior exhibited by which
38:16of these animals, sperm whale, Bactrian camel, Canada goose, ring-tailed lemur.
38:32So...
38:32Do I hear the sound of sphincters tightening?
38:34Nah.
38:36I mean, I've got a feeling.
38:38I do too.
38:39If there's any chance we're going to go audience here, like, maybe we shouldn't hash it out too much.
38:47You know what I mean?
38:48Like, prejudice the audience toward one answer or another.
38:51Mm-hmm.
38:53There is one here I kind of like, but I'm not sure if I want to pull the trigger.
39:00There's one here that I like, but I can't remember if, uh, if I'm making up in my head that I heard
39:08this or if I heard this when I was, well, I don't want to steer anything in the audience.
39:14I feel like I have a mental picture of this, like, vertical sleeping.
39:17Yes.
39:18Do you, should we ask the audience?
39:24I don't know.
39:25I don't know what you're doing.
39:30Maybe.
39:32Let's do it.
39:34We got four lifelines.
39:35We got four lifelines.
39:36Let's ask the audience.
39:37Three questions.
39:38And then we can, once the votes are in, we can kind of, then we can speak freely.
39:42Yeah.
39:43Okay.
39:43Smart strategy.
39:44You did not want to prejudice the audience by saying your thoughts aloud.
39:51That's right.
39:52Even though we know there are no actual thoughts in Matt's head.
39:58All right, audience.
39:59Matt and Ken need your help.
40:02On your keypads, vote now.
40:08Thinking about what we're thinking.
40:09Oh.
40:11The audience says sperm whale, 57%.
40:14Followed by lemur, followed by camel, followed by goose.
40:18So I was pretty pro-sperm whale.
40:22Yeah, yeah.
40:23Is that what you're picturing?
40:24Yes.
40:24Like, they're asleep in the water, but they're, like, head down or something?
40:26Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
40:27Yeah, you see them asleep and they're not like this, for whatever reason.
40:30Vertical sleeping is what people do at your movies, right?
40:35Just imagine that.
40:37I kind of feel like we should, you're with me?
40:43We should do it?
40:43Yeah, yeah.
40:44Okay.
40:44Like, Matt and I were on the same page.
40:46Audience just backed us up.
40:47I don't know what else.
40:48I don't know what else we need.
40:50Matt should know this.
40:51He bought a zoo.
40:53None of these animals were in my zoo, by the way.
40:57Let's do it, right?
40:59Yeah.
40:59Hey, sperm whale, final answer.
41:03You put your heads together.
41:05The audience put their heads together.
41:08And all your heads came up with the right answer.
41:12It is sperm whale.
41:15Thank you, guys.
41:17It is sperm whale.
41:20Oh, the audience crushed it.
41:22That's amazing.
41:23We're going to...
41:24Oh, that means we're out of time for Matt Damon.
41:27Oh, my goodness.
41:28You can't bump me from your show because we're in the middle of the thing.
41:31Oh, we have to finish?
41:32Okay.
41:33All right.
41:33Well, the rules say we have to bring you back next time.
41:36So, we follow the rules here.
41:39So, we will return next time with the Judas Ken Jennings, who betrayed me.
41:44And we'll come back to watch Matt Damon lose a million dollars for charity.
41:48Until then, thanks for watching.
41:50Good night.
41:58Good night.
42:26You
