I'll allow a few more guesses before I reveal the correct answer.

Sherbert is NOT and NEVER WILL BE ice cream.
Tina had 1. I think Celene only had a couple. Same with Britney. I would have to say Whiney.

So, they asked the audience. And the top pick from them was Britney, followed by Whitney. Celine and Tina got almost nothing.
So Drew and Aisha went with the audience, and picked Britney. And they were wrong. Britney had 5 #1 hits, more than Celine (4) and Tina (1). But it was Whitney Houston with 11 #1s. Even though she was the first to go.
I knew it was Whitney, because we did a medley of her songs in band, and there were like 7 or 8 songs in it.

As long as the book has subtitles, I’ll be fine.

Sometimes the chart is broken,

Yesterday’s episode, exciting last episode of the season, the guy who won looked shocked that he pulled it off.

Yes. Amazing that the 16 game champ guessed Hughes instead of Hearst. The guy who won started out with negative $2,000, but he made a strong comeback.
I'd like to see how Scott Riccardi does in the ToC against other strong players.

He was literally shaking when he won.
I'm surprised that the smart Paul Rudd guy didn't get the right answer for final.
Great comeback for the guy that won though. Congrats for him!

Haha, I've been referring to him as Paul Rudd's son.

Ok, I actually need some help. I missed the first half of tonight's Millionaire, and for the life of me, I can't find out if Ken Jennings and Matt Damon won the million dollars. There's like an internet blackout. Have any of you seen the end of their run?

At 9 pm eastern time, they published the story of their million dollar win, with a description of the 2 questions they had left from last week.

This is the episode where they finished the run to a million (in the first 12 minutes)

Funny how the "internet" removed the video link.
Anyway, with Jeopardy still on hiatus, last night's Millionaire was the next best thing. However, the number of idiot celebrities is astounding. The pair of Adam Devine and Anders Holm may be the stupidest of all. Here are 2 of the questions they needed help with:
This question only requires them to know which coin has FDR on it. They knew the penny was Lincoln, and the quarter was Washington. But then they got into this ridiculous banter about who FDR is, and Eisenhower, and if they were the same person. (BTW, Ike is on one of the old dollar coins). They ended up using the audience, who overwhelmingly knew it was the dime (Jefferson is on the nickel).
They were totally clueless on this one. Apparently, they never heard of the tympanic membrane (aka the eardrum), nor did they possess the logic to deduce that "tympanic" might have to do with hearing, hence the ear. They had to ask Kimmel for this.
Anyway, on to the next celebrity pair: Helen Hunt and Dan Bucatinsky (both appeared on Hacks, along with Kimmel). They were actually fairly smart, which was refreshing. But they bailed on this question, which I thought was an interesting one. See if you can guess without looking it up.

Dude
Hate to admit it but I woulda failed all 3 questions. Actually, I probably would've taken a shot at tympanic sounding like timpani and hope they both had roots in sound but it would've been a guesstimation. But no clue on the other two.
That being said, I play along to the morning show on my former station "The Planet" when they do Win Fred's Mon....errr, Dumber Than The Show Trivia (EXACT same show, only the names have been changed) and I usually do well. But I have certain areas of knowledge I simply know almost-nothing about, like alcoholic drinks, films, tv shows, fashion, sports, literature. I have a better chance at music, geography, history, science, games, technology (of course I can be stumped on these questions too, just less often).

So, you haven't seen enough nickels and dimes in your life to have a mental image? That seems odd for someone your age.
This is among the many reasons I'll never try-out for Jeopardy. I know nothing about the Monarchy, much of the history of religion, Shakespeare, or literature. And I'm weak on world history, sports, and contemporary pop music. Playing pub trivia has just reinforced this.

First question I wouldn't get. How to I know which dead presidents you guys put on your coins?
The second question I do not know that term. I would have probably thought it sounded similar to lymphatic and would have guessed arm pit.
The last question, I have not seen C or D. I don't remember the year of Alien. 2805 sounds familiar so I will guess WALL-E simply for that reason.

I figured everyone knows the eardrum is the common term for the tympanic membrane, because a tympani is a drum, and it's logical that it has to do with the ear. But I'm not an expert on the Canadian educational system.
