00:00Welcome back to Millionaire, Anderson Cooper is here.
00:08He took a few moments off from CNN to come and rack up a goodly sum of cash, $500,000.
00:15Now, Anderson, I want you to know, first of all, Lauren Lapkus, who was on right before
00:20you won $500,000, that almost never happens.
00:23In the whole history of the celebrity show, only three other celebrities have done that.
00:29Rosie O'Donnell, Drew Carey, and Norm MacDonald.
00:31No celebrity has ever won a million dollars.
00:35You would be the first.
00:36It's only happened 12 times.
00:38Probably not going to happen this time.
00:39In the thousands of contestants that have been on this show, only 12 of them have won
00:44a million dollars.
00:45I haven't bitten my nails in like 20 years, and I just started biting my nails again.
00:49You know what?
00:50If there's any time to bite them, this is it.
00:53Still have a lifeline left, phone a friend.
00:56You want to talk about who your friend is?
00:58Yes, my friend is Kelly Ripa.
01:00Yes, Kelly Ripa.
01:01Yeah.
01:02She's up now.
01:03It's late.
01:04She's on vacation, and she kindly said she would...
01:07She is the best.
01:08Yeah, she is.
01:09All right, here we go.
01:10No one better.
01:11For $1 million and a shot at television history, let's play Millionaire for a million dollars.
01:25Here's the million dollar question.
01:28When scientists tested it with an electroencephalogram, which of these food items produced readings
01:36similar to a human brain?
01:39Wintergreen Lifesaver, Spam, Lime Jell-O, Jet Puff Marshmallow.
01:54Okay.
01:58Is any of this ringing a bell in your Jet Puff Marshmallow?
02:03I do recall a...
02:05Spam?
02:06I recall this.
02:09I don't know the answer, but I recall reading something about this a long time ago, and
02:16I'm trying to specifically remember back...
02:19I mean, it must have been 20 years ago I read something about this.
02:24My initial belief is it's Lime Jell-O or Spam.
02:29Definitely don't think it's Jet Puff Marshmallow.
02:34I mean, Spam is sort of an ironic thing that could have been thrown in there by the folks
02:38who write these questions.
02:43But it's also so weird maybe it is that.
02:46Um...
02:51Lime Jell-O...
02:54Scientists tested it with an electroenceph...
03:00I'm not even sure what an electroencephalogram exactly is.
03:06I'm gonna phone a friend.
03:07Might as well, right?
03:08Might as well.
03:09Kelly Ripa's your friend?
03:10Let's phone my friend Kelly Ripa.
03:12This is a hell of a call for her to get on vacation.
03:16Let's get Kelly on the line.
03:22Hello?
03:23Hi, Kelly.
03:24It's Jimmy Kimmel.
03:25Hi, Jimmy.
03:26How are you?
03:27What you doing?
03:28Well, your three best TV friends are here, and we're talking about you.
03:33You're talking about me?
03:34Yeah.
03:35We're hoping that maybe you could help Anderson Cooper win a million dollars.
03:41Oh, God.
03:43He's got $500,000, and he's been saving you for the very end.
03:48Are you serious?
03:49I am serious.
03:51No, you're...
03:52Are you messing with me right now?
03:55I know you know that I would do that, but in this case, I'm not doing that.
04:01Anderson, are you messing with me right now?
04:03Uh, no.
04:04This is the situation we're in.
04:07Why?
04:08I mean...
04:09What?
04:10Couldn't you have called, like, Malcolm Gladwell?
04:13I wanted to be in this with you, Kelly.
04:17Oh, thanks a lot.
04:19Okay, what should I do?
04:21Well, I'll tell you what you should do.
04:23You just have to listen, and you have to answer quickly.
04:26It's a long question.
04:28Anderson can abbreviate it as much as he likes.
04:31And you have 30 seconds, all in.
04:34That means from the beginning of when the question is read.
04:38So you kind of have to give a quick answer.
04:40Oh, my God.
04:41Okay.
04:42Can I say something?
04:43Yeah.
04:44Say whatever you like.
04:45Kelly, feel free to just talk it out.
04:47Any advice would be welcome, and, um...
04:50Yeah, don't worry about it if you don't know.
04:52That's okay.
04:53We're still friends, though, no matter what.
04:55No matter what, yes.
04:56Things aren't going that great between him and Andy right now, so...
05:01Wait, Andy's there?
05:02Andy is standing here with a check for a million dollars, in case we get this right.
05:07Andy is providing moral support right now, okay?
05:10Okay.
05:11All right, Kelly.
05:12Okay.
05:13Are you ready?
05:14Okay.
05:15Anderson, you ready?
05:16Yeah.
05:17Your time starts now.
05:18When scientists tested it with an electroencephalogram,
05:22which of these food items produced readings similar to a human brain?
05:26A. Wintergreen Lifesaver.
05:28B. Spam.
05:30C. Lime Jell-O.
05:31D. Jet Puffed Marshmallow.
05:34When scientists tested it with an electroencephalogram,
05:39which of these food items produced readings similar to a human brain?
05:43A. Lifesaver.
05:44B. Spam.
05:45C. Lime Jell-O.
05:46D. Jet Puffed Marshmallow.
05:51Well, she was not your lifesaver.
05:53She doesn't get to answer?
05:55Well, no.
05:56That was 30 seconds.
05:57You used the whole time up asking the question.
06:00Well, she didn't say anything.
06:02Because she got cut off.
06:04She's probably talking right now.
06:06Right now she's going, hello?
06:08Hello?
06:09Hello?
06:10Hello?
06:12Okay.
06:13Okay.
06:14I mean, listen, that's a weird one for anyone to know.
06:17No, listen, there's no way she would know that unless she, I mean, I think,
06:21I know I've read something about this once.
06:27I'm pretty sure it's spam.
06:30But,
06:32if I get this wrong, I go down to $32,000.
06:36Yeah, you will lose $468,000 if you get this wrong.
06:39So, this is a charity, this is a great guy named Jimmy Hatch.
06:43He was a Navy SEAL for his entire career.
06:45He had an incredible career.
06:46But, just as a sense of responsibility,
06:53if the money was going to me, I would just gamble and say B. Spam.
06:58But, just, I think the responsible thing to do is to walk away with the $500,000.
07:05I'm going to walk away.
07:07Is that your final answer?
07:09It would be vain of me to try to go for the million dollars.
07:13So, I am going to walk away.
07:17That's your final answer?
07:18That is my final answer.
07:19So, you said if you had gone for it.
07:21If I had gone for it, I'm 97% sure it's spam.
07:27Oh, wow. You're 97% sure?
07:30I just made that up, that number.
07:34It's either spam or lime jello.
07:38Well, it is either spam or lime jello.
07:40Is it really?
07:41It's lime jello.
07:45Awesome.
07:48You win.
07:49Anderson Cooper is walking away with $500,000 for Spike's canine fund.
07:56That's a lot of best, Anderson.
07:57Ladies and gentlemen, Anderson Cooper.
07:59We're going to take a break.
08:00We're going to switch spots.
08:01When we come back, we'll be right back.
