Q: What is one thing most people don’t know about you?
A: Here is a fun fact: Many years ago, when I was in seventh grade, I was lucky enough to become the youngest phone-a-friend ever used as a lifeline on the show, “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” As far as I know, my record still stands!

I remember when somebody had a kid on the PAF list. I don't remember that any youngster got a call. Do any of you have more details?

Well, there's this 2001 resolution from the Washington State Senate.

And there's this article, apparently archived from the SEATTLE POST-INTELLIGENCER:

Kyle's gift has helped others. Last year, he helped a Kent man win $500,000 on the ABC game show "Who Wants To Be a Millionaire." As the youngest "lifeline" for a big winner, Kyle correctly identified New Orleans as a sinking, below-sea-level U.S. city.

LAST YEAR?! After Katrina, someone had to ask someone else that? I could go all MBFFB on that guy..........

Thanks!

Could be that Kyle was younger than 11 and in the 7th grade.

Ah. I certainly hope Denver wasn't a choice, though.......

Since it was just a few contestants down from Jay in MBFFB's archive, here is the commentary on everyone's favorite SyndieBAm contestant of all time.....


Michelle Glover
Michelle watches the show and can just picture herself doing this. She looks at herself in the mirror and answers the questions. She gets them right "most of the time."

I'll believe that when I see it.


$100
What historic document has the heading "In Congress, July 4, 1776" written across its top?

A. Gettysburg Address B. Magna Carta
C. Declaration of Independence D. Ben Franklin's pre-nup


$200
In the kitchen, a small hourglass that usually runs between three and five minutes is called a what?

A. Egg timer B. Toast timer
C. Pasta timer D. Steak timer

ATA - Studio: A. 95% B. 2% C. 2% D. 1%
ATA - AOL: A. 73% B. 15% C. 5% D. 7%

Wow, it took you a whole whopping TWO questions before you had to reach into the lifeline chest. Did you see that coming in the mirror?



$300
Which of these types of footwear are usually at least 25 inches long and up to 12 inches wide?

A. In-line skates B. Hiking boots
C. Galoshes D. Snowshoes

50/50 leaves C & D

Oh my. Not only is she not living up to her opening brag, but she's threatening to set a new low in the history of this show.

PAF: Michelle's dad, Willy, says, "That's snowshoes."

Michelle: "How sure are you?"

Willy: "Uh, pretty sure."

Hey Michelle, he won't come right out and say it on national TV, but it sounds an awful lot like your father's saying "Michelle, my darling, are you really THAT stupid????" If someone had the audacity to call me with this question, I'd throw the phone in the toilet and flush it. That is, if I didn't hang up as soon as Meredith was telling me I'm being called for the $300 question!!!

Michelle will return on tomorrow's show.

God help us all! She gets most of the questions right in the mirror, but can't even answer two of the three she got today right without having to ask someone else. If she walks below $1,000, I will never watch this show again....

$500 - Longtime pals Matt Damon and Ben Affleck attended high school together in a surburb of what city?
A. Atlanta B. Chicago
C. Detroit D. Boston

Michelle was going to make a guess and she said it was really a guess but B. Chicago, because she really wanted to make it to $1K. Meredith in a very cautious tone of voice asked her if that was her final answer. Michelle changes her mind and walks with $300.

OK, after taking about half a bottle of Zoloft, I'm not going to be harsh with you, Michelle. I mean, after all that practicing in the mirror, to have this happen must be devastating. I mean, it's not like you got cold feet on a few of the questions, you didn't even have the correct hunches, which would make a llama out of even the hardiest of walhals watching from their couch. But hey, keep up all that good work with helping prevent violence, you sure helped me to release my anger in a much more productive way, and I sure hope that you enjoy that life-changing sum of $300. Be sure to put some away in a tax shelter, and don't go too crazy spending it all at once, because before you know it, it'll all be gone!
