About Who Wants to Be a Millionaire TV Show
TWENTY YEARS AFTER ITS SERIES DEBUT, A DYNAMIC NEW VERSION OF THE EMMY(R) AWARD-WINNING 'WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE' RETURNS TO ABC PRIME TIME, HOSTED BY EMMY AWARD-WINNING JIMMY KIMMEL In celebration of the 20th anniversary of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," which debuted in the U.S. as a prime-time series in January 2000, ABC's celebrated late-night staple and Emmy(R) Award-winning producer Jimmy Kimmel will be stepping into prime time as host of a special run of episodes featuring celebrity contestants playing for charity. In addition, a new interactive game will allow viewers to play along from home. "Millionaire" is set to premiere on WEDNESDAY, APRIL 8. For the first time in the history of the U.S. franchise, celebrities playing on "Millionaire" can invite a guest in the hot seat to help them answer questions. It could be a relative, a beloved teacher or a famed trivia expert - anyone they want - to help them win as much money as they can for the charity of their choice. Additionally, this special run of shows will be introducing a revolutionary, live, play-along app which will allow America to compete to win the same amount of money that celebrities are playing for on the show. Celebrities confirmed to appear will be announced at a later date. "Regis came to me in a dream, asked me to do this and promised my own line of neckties if I did. I had little choice but to say yes," said Jimmy Kimmel. The original executive producer of "Millionaire," multiple Emmy Award winner Michael Davies, returns to run the series. "My professional career has been inextricably linked with Jimmy's since the days of 'Win Ben Stein's Money,' and he was one of the first-ever celebrity contestants on 'Millionaire' in its original run. I can't wait to work with him on this dynamic new version of the show that changed my life and the fortunes of so many who benefitted from and simply loved the game." "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire" will be executive produced by Michael Davies, Jimmy Kimmel and Mike Richards, the three-time Emmy Award-winning former executive producer of "The Price Is Right," who is set to take over the helm of "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel of Fortune" later this year. The series is produced by Sony Pictures Television's Embassy Row, Kimmelot and Valleycrest Productions Ltd. About "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?"
