Yahoo Financial News reported that Who Wants to be a Millionaire will be having celebrity episodes for the first time in a very long time. They will air November 7th through through the 11th. Michael Davies stated “We are thrilled to be doing celebrity editions again on ‘Millionaire. We had tremendous success with celebrity shows on primetime ‘Millionaire’ and we felt it was time to let that success translate into syndication.” Millionaire won an Emmy for host Meredith Vieira this past year.

Oh my GOD! *insert random celebrity here* is playing for A MILLION DOLLARS for *insert good cause here*. Let’s watch, Martha!
Sorry, that just doesn’t float my boat — or anyone’s really…It’s just not like Jeopardy! where you get to see them generally make partial fools out of themselves.
