Tonight's Millionaire

Since I was in the audience--

Tom Waters will be among the fastest finger contestants in tonight's 
Millionaire.  I'll resist the urge to post spoilage.

I must say that being in the audience is exhausting.  If you go, make 
sure to either be in a group (to get VIP status) or arrive >90 
minutes early to wait in line.  They give like double the number of 
tickets than they can actually seat.  The taping takes 3+ hours 
because every error or commerical requires 10-15 minutes until Regis 
gets his makeup touched up.

They also did a segment that will appear on the Jimmy Kimmel show.

I'm sitting in the second row on Regis' side.  Two of the million 
dollar winners are behind me.  I don't remember names, but one of 
them was the woman who won a million for knowing that "American 
Gothic" is a picture of a dentist on the syndicated version.  
Presumably they are "wise men" on some other night.  They were 
actually quite rude, talking throughout the game.  I'm very surprised 
the contestants didn't hear any of the answers they said to each 
other.  However, it was telling when they didn't blab the answers to 
any of the big money questions we saw.

I would like to know if anyone has bragging rights to have written a 
question including the information in said questions.  One of them is 
definitely ACF material, the other would be neat to hear in either 
academic or trash material.  We get 10 points, they get cash prizes.
