Mario says he's wanted to be on Millionaire for nine years and he watches the show almost every day.

I've wanted to be on the show for eleven years, Mario. Want to take a battle of the written test for the honor?

Who are you and what have you done with Kazoo?

Not even a comment about him using the ATA on the first question?

[Kazoo65]
