Jon's Pop
Up Video Millionaire Snippets
___________
/ \
| Jon Stewart | "Bloop"
\___________/
Okay, so
it's been a while since the Millionaire show with Jon aired (six months, to
be exact, but who's counting?). For those of you who missed the December reairing
of the show with Pop Up Video, here are some of the highlights. Jon played for
the Alzheimer's Association and ended up winning $125,000. (Notes, explanation,
and observations are in parenthesis.)
• BLOOP
- Jon was the best player during rehearsal.
• BLOOP
- They're the weirdest bunch we've ever had on the show. -- Regis (Regis comments
on this round of celebrity Millionaire.)
• BLOOP
- "Obsessed" with Regis (Pops up next to a brief shot of Jon.)
• BLOOP
- Daily Show ratings have gone up 400% since Jon became host in 1999.
• Quote
- "The girl now doesn't leave, ever." (In response to Regis' question, "How
has [marriage] changed your life?")
• BLOOP
- Millionaire's female staff members ranked Jon the cutest celebrity on the
show.
• BLOOP
- Jon's wife Tracy was in the audience -- but didn't want to appear on TV.
• BLOOP
- Jon's first job: stock boy at Woolworth.
• BLOOP
- Rap fan (Pops up next to shot of Jon.)
• BLOOP
- Drew [Carey] later thought his own questions were much harder. (Pops up after
a question posed to Jon about Spinal Tap.)
• BLOOP
- Jon hung out backstage with Alec, Drew, Norm and Charlie. (That would be Alec
Baldwin, Drew Carey, Norm McDonald, and Charlie Sheen.)
• BLOOP
- Jon was hoping to be done the first day -- his lifelines were leaving town.
(Jon played second after Alec Baldwin, but the show ended before his turn was
up. He screamed, "NO! I have to go to work!")
• BLOOP
- DJ is a writer on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart. (DJ was Jon's lifeline.
When Regis asked Jon which friend he would call, Jon responded, "I only have
one.")
• Quote
- Regis: "The Alzheimer's Association would win a quarter million dollars if
you get this, and if you don't, they're back down to $32,000." Jon: "Yeah, but
they'd forget about it eventually." (Jon got boos with some laughs mixed in,
but the audience forgave him because his grandmother had died from Alzheimer's,
which he pointed out apologetically.)
