A Millionaire Update

Well I got a few new added upates for Who Wants to be a Millionare? The 10th Anniversary Edition. I still can't believe it's been already 10 years since the show began back on ABC's Primetime Line-up. Premiering August 9th, in the 8:00PM slot and 11:00PM EST for Weekdays Spanning 11 Nights from Sunday-Thursday.

Returning to the hot seat this time around is Regis Philbin and also the Fastest Finger round.

New Additions to the original format:

- Ask the Expert (Life Line)

- The Celebrity Challenge (at end of each episode; see below).

- Double Dip (Life Line Replacing 50:50)

- The Time Limit on Questions (From Daytime Version)

The Celebrity Challenge:

Each of the 11 nights that the show will be on there will be a single celebrity taking on the hot seat and playing for $50,000 for the charity of their choice, but that's if they get it correct. If they do not get it correct $25,000. However, it will only be on a SINGLE QUESTION! The Celebrities that have been announced and their charities (in alphabetical order; not by appearance):
