Is That Your Final Answer?

Filed under: TV News > Super Seniors

Earlier this year we mentioned that the execs of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire were planning on bringing the show back to celebrate its 10th anniversary.

However, nothing had been confirmed, especially considering that Regis Philbin hadn't agreed to host yet. You know, cuz apparently Meredith Viera isn't good enough.

But, good news for all of you Millionaire fanatics, the show will be returning! And Philbin has agreed to comeback and host the two week special block of shows airing in August.

And we're sure the success of Slumdog Millionaire probably helped secure the return of the show this summer.

However, even though the show is coming back for a short period of time, there are currently no plans to bring the series back on a regular basis. Unless, of course, the ratings bring in the big numbers!

ABC head Jeff Bader did add that “Right now, it’s to celebrate its 10th anniversary. If it works, I’m sure we’d consider bringing it back again. Right now, we’re focused on this as an event."

I was a contestant in Sept of 2008 and had a blast! (even though the so called "expert" fucked me over)…and Meredith Viera was so lovely and kind! Regis is annoying! Bring it back!

I called my 77 year old gram at the Senior's Rest Home in Florida and they were understandably thrilled over this bit of news. Seems like WW2BaM, Jepoardy, Price is Right and Wheel of Fortune are all very high rated on the 65+ and older demographic.

What a nice way for Regis to celebrate his 110th year in show business. If he is unavailable, perhaps we could get Howie Mindell.

I can't STAND Regis, the sound of his voice makes me wanna puke….if they replace Mededith with this tool I will simply NEVER watch the show again!
