This column turned up in my Google News alerts for a WWTBAM reference.

A bit early for the evening news, I tripped across a program called “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” This surprised me. When I was a kid, back in 1955, there was a program called “The Millionaire,” in which some dude named John Beresford Tipton dropped a mil on some unsuspecting boob.
He was surprised by seeing this show? Not like "is that show still on?" but like he'd never heard of it before?
What rock has he been living under since 1955?
