Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (US): Tom Pajak is the carryover contestant from last night. He won $200 before time ran out. Tonight, he cruised to $16,000 before having a problem on his $32,000 question which asked what boxer's daughter won her first professional boxing match in 31 seconds (Muhammad Ali). He asked the audience, which gave him assurance of 78%. He then needed his PAF on his $64,000 question asking which actor recorded a single with his co-star that reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 pop chart (John Travolta). His PAF guessed Travolta and she was right. Then, on his $125,000 question, which asked what president was in office when the voting age was reduced from 21 to 18 (Richard Nixon), he needed a 50:50. It left him with Nixon and Lyndon Johnson. Tom chose the right answer. But he was pretty sure he knew his $250,000 question asking what title was a Toni Morrison novel (Tar Baby). He went with Waiting to Exhale and lost $93,000. Next in the hot seat was Andres Rivera. He needed backup from the audience at $1,000 to figure out what word best describes the phrase 'as the crow flies'. The audience said Straight with 73% and they were right. He then cruised up to $32,000 without any help but used a 50:50 on his $64,000 question to figure out what state was the first to secede from the Union (South Carolina). He guessed right. He then made $125,000 question before using a PAF on his $250,000 question. However, his PAF didn't know who the first host of Saturday Night Live was (George Carlin). So Andres decided to walk the $125,000. Next to take their shot at the million was Darrin Despain. He made $4,000 without any help but needed audience help figuring out who served in the Persian Gulf as commander of the U.S. forces during Operation Desert Storm (Norman Schwarzkopf). The audience helped him out with 77% assurance. After that question, time ran out.
