So he went for the $250K question and ended up with $25K. I went for the $125K question and ended up with $32K. Why don't I get a second chance?

Neither Justin nor Dan caught on to the fact that Medicare was a program from the 1960s.

I just watched Justin's return appearance.

He was a "one-and-done", failing to correctly answer a question about radio formats. The question was something like "Although all of theses are found on the radio, which of the following formats is not one of the top four formats in the U.S." The choices were country, Top 40, newsradio and sports. Justin used his 50:50, which left Top 40 and sports. He had his ATA but said he wanted to "hold it in reserve". He made sports his final answer, but the correct answer was Top 40.
