Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (US): Jeff Wilkie is the returning contestant on this episode of Millionaire. At the beginning of the show, Regis says he got some fortune cookies for Jeff because he claimed that the cookie was what helped David Fite win his $500,000 on the previous episode. Jeff left off at $2,000 with his 50:50 and his Ask the Audience with him. He asks the audience on his $4,000 question about what band Peter Gabriel was the lead singer for. The audience says Genesis. He goes with the audience and wins $4,000. He uses his 50:50 on his $16,000 question about where the transcontinental railroad was completed. He says Utah and wins. His $32,000 and $64,000 questions gave him no problems. He says he had a gut instinct about what science fiction author was credited with the idea of orbiting communications satellites (Alfred C. Clarke) for his $125,000 question, but decides he can't risk it. He walks with $64,000, guesses with his gut instinct just for the heck of it, and would have been right. Oh well. Ken Hesser is next in the hot seat. He works his way up to the $2,000 question and then asks the audience. 78% say that a boilermaker is a shot of whiskey followed by a sip of beer, so Ken goes with the audience and wins $2,000. He works his way up to the $32,000 question about who hosted the very first episode of The Tonight Show in 1954. His 50:50 left him Jack Paar and Steve Allen. He then uses his Phone-a-Friend. His friend says it's Steve Allen. Ken goes with his friend and wins $32,000. His $64,000 question was no problem for him, but he had to walk away from his $125,000 question because he was out of lifelines and he didn't know what was introduced in 1893 at the World's Columbian Exposition in Chicago (Ferris Wheel). The next hot seat contestant is Jason Block. Jason works his way up to the $16,000 question and then uses his Phone-a-Friend to help him what term refers to trees that loses its leaves every year. His friend says the answer is deciduous, so Jason goes with him and wins $16,000. Time ran out then, so Jason will be back next time where he will have 6 questions to go for $1,000,000.
