What Did You Think of ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’s Return? (POLL)
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire returned to TV last night, beginning its ABC revival featuring stars in the hot seat as they compete for charity.
First up? Eric Stonestreet and Will Forte appeared in the premiere, taking on 15 questions with the help of three lifelines. In this modified iteration, contestants were allowed to bounce questions off of a special guest of their choosing.
For Stonestreet, he brought Modern Family‘s writer Danny Zucker, and Forte sought out the help of his father, Reb Forte. Along with implementing some new lifelines, one of which includes asking new host Jimmy Kimmel for his take on questions, it was otherwise a night of nostalgic gameplay.

I’ve been waiting for a quality reboot of #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire ever since Regis left the show and I had to wait for the freakin’ world to end before getting one. Worth the wait!
