Millionaire is Coming Back Home to ABC

They are, yes. There aren’t any newly recorded ones.

Tonight’s show was another solid episode.

Thomas Middleditch was an enjoyable celebrity contestant. He was genuinely funny without chatting excessively like a lot of celebrities tend to do, and he took the game seriously. Too bad his game was cut short at Q11.

DeShaé, the first responder contestant, was also great. Jimmy’s banter with DeShaé and her dad was top shelf, illustrating yet again how much better of a host he is with real contestants and real money on the line.

I’m looking forward to two more new episodes this month.

The last question of the episode was a very tough question. I don’t think anyone seemed to know it. That’s a question you could’ve had for a much higher dollar amount.

I thought it was really intriguing how they showed behind the scenes who operates the lifelines last night. I know that they’re supposed to be random, but often times, it is what somebody says their choices are. On Thomas’ last question, I knew it wasn’t A or B, so I guessed C.

Edit: A tweet I’m seeing says ratings were just under three million, at 2.94.

Gonna be honest, you can’t expect a show to do well in a 10:00pm slot. The only reason why The Equalizer had better ratings is because it had a lead in from Oprah’s interview with Meghan and Harry which broke 17m last night.
We’ll see what happens next week.

I loved tonight’s show. Civilian only episodes are the best. I thought there was really good pacing, but I thought Jimmy’s joke about Joseph’s tattoos on the last question was definitely in poor taste.

That said, the man knows his stuff. Still, I thought Kyle’s question he asked Jimmy on, though tough, I think was doable and could be figured out. I’d rather see that question than a question on Ben and Jerry’s ice cream flavors, but I’m happy for both Joseph and Kyle.

Jimmy’s knowledge is fantastic. Honestly, I think if I would trade in a lifeline on the show, I’d trade in the phone a friend because Jimmy knows so much, and 50:50 can help if you get a question where you know an answer or two is incorrect.

I don’t expect the ratings to be superb because of the Grammys, but it was another quality episode.

Finalized ratings of last week’s show - 3.003 million viewers.
Can’t wait to see this week’s ratings.

2.941 million, small decrease from last week's show. I agree it would be better if it had a different timeslot and didn't go up against the Grammys. We have one more episode left for the season, and here's hoping it does somewhat well.
