00:00Welcome back to Millionaire. We got a good one going here with Lauren Labkus.
00:09Well, you're about to enter rare territory.
00:12So, there are only three celebrities who've ever won $500,000.
00:17Wow.
00:18Okay. Rosie O'Donnell, Drew Carey and Norm MacDonald.
00:20Oh, my God.
00:21Each of them won a half a million dollars. No celebrity has ever hit a million.
00:25So, you could be the first here tonight.
00:27Oh, that would be amazing.
00:28You're in a great position to be there.
00:31Catherine O'Hara won $250,000 a couple of episodes ago.
00:36You have one lifeline left.
00:38Yeah.
00:39Own a friend.
00:40And that pressure is going to be on that friend.
00:42Who is that friend?
00:43That friend is my dad.
00:44Oh, boy.
00:45Yeah.
00:46Okay. All right.
00:47Well, at least you can't cut him out of your life if he screws it up.
00:50No, he'll just be excited to be talking to me on the phone.
00:52Okay.
00:53You're playing again for Crohn's and Colitis Foundation.
00:56You are two questions away from $1 million.
00:59Okay.
01:00Here we go. Let's play millionaire.
01:01Okay.
01:05For $500,000, six U.S. presidents had what first name, the most common presidential name in history?
01:16John, William, James, George.
01:23Okay.
01:24So we already know presidents aren't my strong suit.
01:28I'm going to try to think about the ones I've heard of, you know.
01:34Well, there were George Washington, George Bush Sr., and George Bush, other George Bush.
01:44So that's three Georges.
01:45But I don't know if I can think of two other or three other Georges.
01:51He's curious, George, but he's a monkey.
01:53He'd be a great president.
01:55No. I'd give him a shot at this point.
01:57He's very curious.
02:01John sounds common.
02:06John F. Kennedy, that's where my knowledge runs out.
02:12William Taft.
02:18Everyone who ever taught me history is like, you suck, watching this right now.
02:22Or they suck.
02:24That's a better way to spin it.
02:26James, I feel like James might be it.
02:29Can't think of a lot of, I think the way to figure this out is to call my dad,
02:35because I do think he's going to have way more knowledge about this than I would.
02:40So let me just think about this for a second.
02:48Okay, I'm going to call my dad.
02:50You want to phone a friend?
02:51I want to phone a friend.
02:52Phone a dad.
02:53Do you consider dad to be a friend?
02:54Yeah, he's my friend, yeah.
02:55All right, let's get him on the line.
02:57What's your dad's name?
02:58Jules.
02:59Jules, all right.
03:00He knows the call's coming?
03:01Yeah, he does.
03:03He still might not answer.
03:05Hello?
03:06Hi, Jules?
03:07Yes.
03:08It's Jimmy Kimmel.
03:09Hey, Jimmy, how you doing?
03:11I'm doing well.
03:12Your daughter's been arrested.
03:15I need you to come down to the station.
03:17I got cash.
03:18It's better news than that.
03:19Maybe, I don't know, we'll see.
03:21Lauren's doing very, very well on this show.
03:24She's going for $500,000.
03:27Really?
03:28Yeah, really.
03:30You sound surprised.
03:31Was she not good in school?
03:33She was, no, I'm super surprised.
03:36Oh, come on!
03:38I did well.
03:40She was a straight-A student all the way through.
03:43Yeah, except math, but okay.
03:44Well, that's great news,
03:45because I assume that means you're smart, too, Jules.
03:48Lauren is going to read a question to you
03:51and the four possible answers.
03:53You'll have 30 seconds to answer it,
03:55but you have 30 seconds for the whole thing,
03:58not just when she's finished reading the question.
04:01So you need to give your answer expediently.
04:04Okay.
04:05Ready, Lauren?
04:06I'm ready.
04:07Your time starts now.
04:09Six U.S. presidents had what first name,
04:11the most common presidential name in history?
04:14John, William, James, George.
04:18It's John.
04:20You know that for sure.
04:23Six presidents named John.
04:29What were the other answers, Rupaul?
04:31William, James, George.
04:35James, James, James.
04:39I don't feel great right now, I'm going to say that.
04:43Yeah.
04:44Well, why don't you start listing them again?
04:47Why don't you go through and think about...
04:49Okay, here's the thing.
04:51So he said John right off the bat,
04:53and then I said there are six presidents named John,
04:55and then he thought for 14 seconds,
04:57which was the longest 14 seconds I've ever felt in my life,
05:00and I almost started crying,
05:01and then he said James, James, James,
05:04which made me think he was naming the presidents
05:06which made me think he was naming the presidents in his head.
05:09Or he was talking to me.
05:11Yeah, he's like, James, help, help.
05:13He got very formal with you all of a sudden.
05:15Yes, that's how parents are.
05:17Yeah.
05:18George Washington.
05:19James...
05:20Okay, wait.
05:22Monroe.
05:23James Monroe, right?
05:25Good grief.
05:28He sounded so confident at the end.
05:30He knows everything that's on the line.
05:32I really want to trust my dad.
05:34Do I go back down to $32,000 if I don't get it?
05:37Yeah, you do.
05:38That's a huge drop,
05:39and I really want to win this money for the charity.
05:43When I tell you I can't think of more presidents,
05:45I can't.
05:46They're gone.
05:47There's none.
05:48I have a gap between Washington to now,
05:51and it's all cloudy, and...
05:59It's so insane to just say James and not know, right?
06:02It's so insane because if there's so much money
06:05between $32,000 and $250,000, that's like a huge loss.
06:10I hate this.
06:11I'm going to call him back.
06:13There will be no Father's Day gift this year?
06:18I can't think of any presidents.
06:22This is insane.
06:24There's one named Donald.
06:26Yeah, I know that.
06:29It's...
06:30I guess it comes down to your read of your dad
06:34and also your confidence...
06:36Okay.
06:37...in his knowledge of this area.
06:40I never paid attention to the presidents.
06:42There were so many people in my class who knew the order,
06:44but I never even tried.
06:45I was like, I don't know.
06:46I never tried.
06:48I didn't care about that.
06:50And that's really biting me right now.
06:52This is a great lesson for young people.
06:54Pay attention to everything,
06:55because you might be one who wants to be a millionaire,
06:57and you'll need to know.
06:58I want to say I really want to do it.
07:00I really want to do it,
07:01because wouldn't it be so cool if I did it,
07:02and then it went up?
07:03That would be so cool.
07:04It would be cool, yeah, for sure.
07:06If you win, it would be very cool.
07:10I'm playing at Dr. Phil speed here.
07:11I'm like, James, James.
07:13I could be here all day.
07:14James.
07:19We spent a month with Dr. Phil a couple of weeks ago.
07:21Yeah.
07:23The gambler in me wants to walk away,
07:25because I'm the non-gambler.
07:26Like, I don't think it's...
07:28I think it's a little nutty to go on a risk,
07:31but the amount of money that's at stake
07:34makes me feel like it's worth the risk
07:36in the positive category.
07:37Like, it could be like, oh, wow,
07:38I could go up to $500,000,
07:40which would be so incredible.
07:44Well, if you want to do it mathematically,
07:47you have more to gain than you do to lose.
07:50That's a good point.
07:53James, final answer.
07:56What's... What is the game?
07:57Let's play the game.
08:02Please, God.
08:06I think I'm having a problem with my screen.
08:07You know what we'll do?
08:08We'll take a break.
08:09No!
08:10And then we'll reveal what the answer will see
08:13if Lauren Lapkus just won $500,000 or not
08:16when we return.
08:17Am I insane?
08:22Oh, God.
08:24We're back with Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.
08:27We are here with Lauren Lapkus...
08:28I feel... I'm sick.
08:29...who has been suffering.
08:30I think... I think her appendix may have burst.
08:32This is the longest break anyone's ever taken.
08:34Whoo!
08:35Come on, come on, come on, come on.
08:37Mike is suffering, too, over there.
08:39Oh, God, we got to do this.
08:40He's in the dark! Okay.
08:41See, right?
08:42So, let's recap.
08:43Let's... Let's just...
08:44Let's talk about how we got to where we are.
08:47Okay?
08:48Yeah.
08:49So, yeah.
08:50Called your dad.
08:51Question was, six U.S. presidents had what first name?
08:55The most common presidential name in history.
08:58He gave you two answers.
09:00He goes, John.
09:01Then I said, are you sure?
09:03Six presidents, same name.
09:05He's like, what are their names?
09:06Read them again.
09:07James, James, James.
09:08That was it.
09:09Then he hung up.
09:10Or they hung up on him.
09:11So, I, um...
09:12You decided to gamble.
09:13I decided to trust him, which is...
09:15I trust my dad.
09:16You decided to trust your dad...
09:18Yeah.
09:19...and risk...
09:20So much money!
09:21A lot of money.
09:22I feel really bad.
09:23A lot of money.
09:24Please be right.
09:25And, uh...
09:26Well, let's get dad...
09:27Can we get dad back on the phone?
09:28Oh, God.
09:29Please be right.
09:30Oh, God.
09:31Oh, God.
09:32I feel sick.
09:33Please leave your message.
09:34Oh, no!
09:35That's so my dad!
09:36Hold on.
09:37Leave it up.
09:38He would turn off the phone.
09:39I'll give you another number if you need me.
09:40Leave it up.
09:41Hey, uh, Jules?
09:42I'm here with your dad.
09:43I'm here with your dad.
09:44I'm here with your dad.
09:45I'm here with your dad.
09:46I'm here with your dad.
09:47I'm here with your dad.
09:48I'm here with your daughter, Lauren,
09:50and we want to leave a message to let you know
09:52that she just won $500,000.
09:55Oh!
09:56Oh!
09:57Oh!
09:58Oh!
09:59Oh!
10:00Oh!
10:01Oh!
10:02Oh!
10:03Oh!
10:04I'm crying!
10:05Oh!
10:06Oh, my God!
10:07That was amazing!
10:08Oh!
10:09Oh, my God!
10:10That was so cool!
10:11How great that your dad is not picking up the phone.
10:12He never answers the phone.
10:13I wonder if the message is still happening right now.
10:16Answer the phone next time!
10:18Oh, my God.
10:19Thanks, Dad.
10:20Wow.
10:21I'm so happy.
10:22You should be happy.
10:23I'm happy, too.
10:24See, here's the thing.
10:25I would have felt so bad if I didn't trust him
10:27and I walked away and it was right.
10:28I would have felt really, really bad.
10:29So that was worth it.
10:30That was worth it.
10:31You know who I think you may not have thought about
10:32is Jimmy Carter being a James.
10:34I didn't think of anyone.
10:36The Jameses are Madison...
10:38I had...
10:39My brain was like...
10:40Like nothing.
10:41It was like a rainbow.
10:42Madison, Monroe, Polk, Buchanan, Garfield,
10:44and Jimmy Carter.
10:45All Jameses.
10:46Let me tell you, I didn't even know that.
10:47So, thanks, Dad.
10:48Well, whether you knew it or not, you got it.
