Thanks! I tried to find it and only found something called "Wild Animal Games" for Seacrest.

I suppose Seacrest was a sub or guest host here as he is not listed in the Wiki article or associated IMDb.

What game show was that, I wonder?

Given the choices, there was only one obvious answer. A shame Erica had to burn a lifeline for this one.

I have no idea. Time for a lifeline, and unfortunately the only one I feel good about is the PAF.

Yep. The New York Post even gave her appearance a line in the Starr report.

That was Lippin Group's Erica Rubin on yesterday's "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" (she won $5,000).

A plain old WE on SyndieBAM just isn't news.

$12.5K: I've heard of the book, but I don't know who wrote it. I'll try the audience first. If they were stumped, I would've tried Mr. DeLay. And since he didn't know this one, either, this would've caused me to use PAF. So a disaster question for me if the audience response was not definite.
