thing that Notre Dame has to a journalism major we put a lot of American topics in that major American history culture literature yeah good background for what you're doing now great background what you also got a cameo role in Rudy yes I did I was on for about three seconds what were you doing well there's a scene where Rudy goes to the grotto the replica of the grotto of Lourdes at Notre Dame and he lights a candle and prays for guidance I'm one of the other people kneeling on the bar praying with him not not with him just you and Rudy prayed together but what were you praying for well it was being always a motivation it was being filmed in December at night with wind blowing so only thing I was praying for was warmth you were afraid for them to get the shot so you could get out of it like go home that's right yeah that movies become a classic has it all right so Paul 16-thousand going for 32,000 right now all of your life lines you're flying man you're six questions away from 2 million $60,000 let's play $32,000 in a honey bee colony which of the following is true of the worker bees they're male they cannot fly they are female they cannot sting reaches the drones and the males those are the ones that have no stinger I believe that will leave the workers they're the ones that go out and get the nectar so they fly so I'm going to say that they are female I say the answer is seat were cabeza the female that's right final answer it's my final answer absolutely right for 32,000 but though the odds be great a small Notre Dame will win overall you're on your way 64,000 coming up all his lifelines left what is Queen Elizabeth the second relationship to the current Duke of Edinburgh his mother grandmother sister wife I believe that the Duke of Edinburgh is Prince Phillip whose husband that's a lot of it's a lot of money on the line here I'm going to say the answer is d his wife pretty sure yes final answer that's my final answer nailed it for 64 unstoppable is palled piercing going now for a $125,000 we've had so many shows without without a millionaire winner here we're all getting very excited here it comes for 125,000 Dave and Alba Stan's book the best and the brightest documents America's involvement in what professional basketball the media Vietnam War space race I know David Halberstam did a book about Michael Jordan but I don't think that's the one we're looking at here I think it's time for me to it's time for me to use a lifeline okay I think I'm gonna ask the audience the audience all right audience we need some help football if you're ready on your keypads using a B C or D vote now 43% say the space race and 23% say professional basketball some famous writer has written many books many topics but the best of the proudest that's what we're looking for you still hates a couple of lifelines yeah I think I should use one another one of them just to be sure why we use the 50-50 lifeline all right we'll see what happens if we use the 50-50 take away two of those wrong answers please well space race didn't hold up so it's the media or the Vietnam War the best and the brightest I'm thinking but the best and brightest in terms of the media I think the best and brightest would usually be something you'd associate with a war or a soldier because that hope they'd send your best and your brightest into combat plus I'm going to say that the answer is see Vietnam war final answer that's my final answer yes the Vietnam War looking back in No this central person $125,000 I was kind of worried about that one but David Halberstam is one of our great authors in this country won the Pulitzer Prize for that book it lives across the street so anyway I thought you know that one you I'm gonna have to start reading him I guess oh he's terrific he writes on a variety of subjects anyway you've got one lifeline left what's your strategy here uh save it until I actually need it he is it and if it doesn't help walk away that's it you got that one right we're playing for 250,000 dollars a lot of money here huh mm-hmm how do you feel uh nervous I was told that the first few questions were designed to

three thousand fee is Roger up to a quarter billion to stay in the game ah it said 80 or 90% it'd be jumping on because this guy is a smart cookie retire look Mickey there are four famous Disney
