ABC will open up the lifelines once more this summer.

The network has greenlit a new season of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire that will air starting July 10. The new run will coincide with the game show’s 25th anniversary on ABC; it premiered on Aug. 16, 1999.
Woo h--
Jimmy Kimmel, who hosted the last Millionaire revival on ABC in 2020 and 2021, will return to the host’s chair once again. The show will feature pairs of celebrities playing to win up to $1 million for charities of their choosing.

Pairs of celebrities, no less! Because an individual celeb, playing under the special celebrity advantages, still might not do well enough to generate the desired excitement.

There is no desired excitement in celebrities playing, period.

So, uhhhh, the new season starts tonight. In less than an hour, for me.

Yeah, I'll be watching, ABC. For old time's sake.

And it should be worth some <grumbles>®
