When a contestant does something unexpected,like when ,on Friday,Nov.5's episode,when a woman contestant solved the puzzle with one letter exposed-On the daytime version on "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire",a woman contestant got a question worth $250,000 about who originally did Elvis Presley's "Hound Dog",and she gave the correct answer Big Mama Thornton. Everyone was stunned,(because it was not an easy question),including host Meredith Viera.Besides this one,and the "Wheel of Fortune" stunner last Friday Night(which I saw),were there any OTHER instances of the host being shocked?

Oh,I forgot to add:That "Who Wants to Be A Millionaire"question occurred about 2 or 3 years ago.

I'd love to be a contestant on that show and get a question as easy as that for $250,000. Better still, give me a chance at the million dollars with a question as ridiculously easy as the one that contestant got with What U.S. President appeared on Laugh-In? I love the joke the guy played by using his lifeline to call his dad but to this day I have never believed that it was on the level.

That lady that was on "Wheel of Fortune" may now be a celebrity.

Andy Warhol is right...you DO get 15 minutes of fame!

And on today's "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth-Grader?"EVERYONE,including host Jeff Foxworthy ,the female contestant,the kids,the audience,was surprised(REALLY surprised)when the producers(the "crack researchers" as Foxworthy put it)were wrong in their answer,and that the female contestant who gave her answer,which everyone thought was wrong,was perfectly acceptable and right.Well,anyway,she won $25,000-Not too bad for a half-hour's work.

And today,Jeff Foxworthy was shocked when the contestant(the female cousin of yesterday's contestant)on today's "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth Grader?",who,despite a somewhat rocky start,she won $15,000,and said,"Between you and your cousin,you're taking us(the show)to the cleaners".Did anyone see yesterday or today's "Are You Smarter Than a Fifth-Grader"?
