00:00Welcome back to Millionaire. We got a good one going here with Lauren Labkus.

00:09Well, you're about to enter rare territory.

00:12So, there are only three celebrities who've ever won $500,000.

00:17Wow.

00:18Okay. Rosie O'Donnell, Drew Carey and Norm MacDonald.

00:20Oh, my God.

00:21Each of them won a half a million dollars. No celebrity has ever hit a million.

00:25So, you could be the first here tonight.

00:27Oh, that would be amazing.

00:28You're in a great position to be there.

00:31Catherine O'Hara won $250,000 a couple of episodes ago.

00:36You have one lifeline left.

00:38Yeah.

00:39Own a friend.

00:40And that pressure is going to be on that friend.

00:42Who is that friend?

00:43That friend is my dad.

00:44Oh, boy.

00:45Yeah.

00:46Okay. All right.

00:47Well, at least you can't cut him out of your life if he screws it up.

00:50No, he'll just be excited to be talking to me on the phone.

00:52Okay.

00:53You're playing again for Crohn's and Colitis Foundation.

00:56You are two questions away from $1 million.

00:59Okay.

01:00Here we go. Let's play millionaire.

01:01Okay.

01:05For $500,000, six U.S. presidents had what first name, the most common presidential name in history?

01:16John, William, James, George.

01:23Okay.

01:24So we already know presidents aren't my strong suit.

01:28I'm going to try to think about the ones I've heard of, you know.

01:34Well, there were George Washington, George Bush Sr., and George Bush, other George Bush.

01:44So that's three Georges.

01:45But I don't know if I can think of two other or three other Georges.

01:51He's curious, George, but he's a monkey.

01:53He'd be a great president.

01:55No. I'd give him a shot at this point.

01:57He's very curious.

02:01John sounds common.

02:06John F. Kennedy, that's where my knowledge runs out.

02:12William Taft.

02:18Everyone who ever taught me history is like, you suck, watching this right now.

02:22Or they suck.

02:24That's a better way to spin it.

02:26James, I feel like James might be it.

02:29Can't think of a lot of, I think the way to figure this out is to call my dad,

02:35because I do think he's going to have way more knowledge about this than I would.

02:40So let me just think about this for a second.

02:48Okay, I'm going to call my dad.

02:50You want to phone a friend?

02:51I want to phone a friend.

02:52Phone a dad.

02:53Do you consider dad to be a friend?

02:54Yeah, he's my friend, yeah.

02:55All right, let's get him on the line.

02:57What's your dad's name?

02:58Jules.

02:59Jules, all right.

03:00He knows the call's coming?

03:01Yeah, he does.

03:03He still might not answer.

03:05Hello?

03:06Hi, Jules?

03:07Yes.

03:08It's Jimmy Kimmel.

03:09Hey, Jimmy, how you doing?

03:11I'm doing well.

03:12Your daughter's been arrested.

03:15I need you to come down to the station.

03:17I got cash.

03:18It's better news than that.

03:19Maybe, I don't know, we'll see.

03:21Lauren's doing very, very well on this show.

03:24She's going for $500,000.

03:27Really?

03:28Yeah, really.

03:30You sound surprised.

03:31Was she not good in school?

03:33She was, no, I'm super surprised.

03:36Oh, come on!

03:38I did well.

03:40She was a straight-A student all the way through.

03:43Yeah, except math, but okay.

03:44Well, that's great news,

03:45because I assume that means you're smart, too, Jules.

03:48Lauren is going to read a question to you

03:51and the four possible answers.

03:53You'll have 30 seconds to answer it,

03:55but you have 30 seconds for the whole thing,

03:58not just when she's finished reading the question.

04:01So you need to give your answer expediently.

04:04Okay.

04:05Ready, Lauren?

04:06I'm ready.

04:07Your time starts now.

04:09Six U.S. presidents had what first name,

04:11the most common presidential name in history?

04:14John, William, James, George.

04:18It's John.

04:20You know that for sure.

04:23Six presidents named John.

04:29What were the other answers, Rupaul?

04:31William, James, George.

04:35James, James, James.

04:39I don't feel great right now, I'm going to say that.

04:43Yeah.

04:44Well, why don't you start listing them again?

04:47Why don't you go through and think about...

04:49Okay, here's the thing.

04:51So he said John right off the bat,

04:53and then I said there are six presidents named John,

04:55and then he thought for 14 seconds,

04:57which was the longest 14 seconds I've ever felt in my life,

05:00and I almost started crying,

05:01and then he said James, James, James,

05:04which made me think he was naming the presidents

05:06which made me think he was naming the presidents in his head.

05:09Or he was talking to me.

05:11Yeah, he's like, James, help, help.

05:13He got very formal with you all of a sudden.

05:15Yes, that's how parents are.

05:17Yeah.

05:18George Washington.

05:19James...

05:20Okay, wait.

05:22Monroe.

05:23James Monroe, right?

05:25Good grief.

05:28He sounded so confident at the end.

05:30He knows everything that's on the line.

05:32I really want to trust my dad.

05:34Do I go back down to $32,000 if I don't get it?

05:37Yeah, you do.

05:38That's a huge drop,

05:39and I really want to win this money for the charity.

05:43When I tell you I can't think of more presidents,

05:45I can't.

05:46They're gone.

05:47There's none.

05:48I have a gap between Washington to now,

05:51and it's all cloudy, and...

05:59It's so insane to just say James and not know, right?

06:02It's so insane because if there's so much money

06:05between $32,000 and $250,000, that's like a huge loss.

06:10I hate this.

06:11I'm going to call him back.

06:13There will be no Father's Day gift this year?

06:18I can't think of any presidents.

06:22This is insane.

06:24There's one named Donald.

06:26Yeah, I know that.

06:29It's...

06:30I guess it comes down to your read of your dad

06:34and also your confidence...

06:36Okay.

06:37...in his knowledge of this area.

06:40I never paid attention to the presidents.

06:42There were so many people in my class who knew the order,

06:44but I never even tried.

06:45I was like, I don't know.

06:46I never tried.

06:48I didn't care about that.

06:50And that's really biting me right now.

06:52This is a great lesson for young people.

06:54Pay attention to everything,

06:55because you might be one who wants to be a millionaire,

06:57and you'll need to know.

06:58I want to say I really want to do it.

07:00I really want to do it,

07:01because wouldn't it be so cool if I did it,

07:02and then it went up?

07:03That would be so cool.

07:04It would be cool, yeah, for sure.

07:06If you win, it would be very cool.

07:10I'm playing at Dr. Phil speed here.

07:11I'm like, James, James.

07:13I could be here all day.

07:14James.

07:19We spent a month with Dr. Phil a couple of weeks ago.

07:21Yeah.

07:23The gambler in me wants to walk away,

07:25because I'm the non-gambler.

07:26Like, I don't think it's...

07:28I think it's a little nutty to go on a risk,

07:31but the amount of money that's at stake

07:34makes me feel like it's worth the risk

07:36in the positive category.

07:37Like, it could be like, oh, wow,

07:38I could go up to $500,000,

07:40which would be so incredible.

07:44Well, if you want to do it mathematically,

07:47you have more to gain than you do to lose.

07:50That's a good point.

07:53James, final answer.

07:56What's... What is the game?

07:57Let's play the game.

08:02Please, God.

08:06I think I'm having a problem with my screen.

08:07You know what we'll do?

08:08We'll take a break.

08:09No!

08:10And then we'll reveal what the answer will see

08:13if Lauren Lapkus just won $500,000 or not

08:16when we return.

08:17Am I insane?

08:22Oh, God.

08:24We're back with Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

08:27We are here with Lauren Lapkus...

08:28I feel... I'm sick.

08:29...who has been suffering.

08:30I think... I think her appendix may have burst.

08:32This is the longest break anyone's ever taken.

08:34Whoo!

08:35Come on, come on, come on, come on.

08:37Mike is suffering, too, over there.

08:39Oh, God, we got to do this.

08:40He's in the dark! Okay.

08:41See, right?

08:42So, let's recap.

08:43Let's... Let's just...

08:44Let's talk about how we got to where we are.

08:47Okay?

08:48Yeah.

08:49So, yeah.

08:50Called your dad.

08:51Question was, six U.S. presidents had what first name?

08:55The most common presidential name in history.

08:58He gave you two answers.

09:00He goes, John.

09:01Then I said, are you sure?

09:03Six presidents, same name.

09:05He's like, what are their names?

09:06Read them again.

09:07James, James, James.

09:08That was it.

09:09Then he hung up.

09:10Or they hung up on him.

09:11So, I, um...

09:12You decided to gamble.

09:13I decided to trust him, which is...

09:15I trust my dad.

09:16You decided to trust your dad...

09:18Yeah.

09:19...and risk...

09:20So much money!

09:21A lot of money.

09:22I feel really bad.

09:23A lot of money.

09:24Please be right.

09:25And, uh...

09:26Well, let's get dad...

09:27Can we get dad back on the phone?

09:28Oh, God.

09:29Please be right.

09:30Oh, God.

09:31Oh, God.

09:32I feel sick.

09:33Please leave your message.

09:34Oh, no!

09:35That's so my dad!

09:36Hold on.

09:37Leave it up.

09:38He would turn off the phone.

09:39I'll give you another number if you need me.

09:40Leave it up.

09:41Hey, uh, Jules?

09:42I'm here with your dad.

09:43I'm here with your dad.

09:44I'm here with your dad.

09:45I'm here with your dad.

09:46I'm here with your dad.

09:47I'm here with your dad.

09:48I'm here with your daughter, Lauren,

09:50and we want to leave a message to let you know

09:52that she just won $500,000.

09:55Oh!

09:56Oh!

09:57Oh!

09:58Oh!

09:59Oh!

10:00Oh!

10:01Oh!

10:02Oh!

10:03Oh!

10:04I'm crying!

10:05Oh!

10:06Oh, my God!

10:07That was amazing!

10:08Oh!

10:09Oh, my God!

10:10That was so cool!

10:11How great that your dad is not picking up the phone.

10:12He never answers the phone.

10:13I wonder if the message is still happening right now.

10:16Answer the phone next time!

10:18Oh, my God.

10:19Thanks, Dad.

10:20Wow.

10:21I'm so happy.

10:22You should be happy.

10:23I'm happy, too.

10:24See, here's the thing.

10:25I would have felt so bad if I didn't trust him

10:27and I walked away and it was right.

10:28I would have felt really, really bad.

10:29So that was worth it.

10:30That was worth it.

10:31You know who I think you may not have thought about

10:32is Jimmy Carter being a James.

10:34I didn't think of anyone.

10:36The Jameses are Madison...

10:38I had...

10:39My brain was like...

10:40Like nothing.

10:41It was like a rainbow.

10:42Madison, Monroe, Polk, Buchanan, Garfield,

10:44and Jimmy Carter.

10:45All Jameses.

10:46Let me tell you, I didn't even know that.

10:47So, thanks, Dad.

10:48Well, whether you knew it or not, you got it.
