If you said either of those, you would have just lost $475,000. The right answer was Michael Crichton. So either way you made the right decision. tarrantnam walks away with $500,000! Coming into the hot seat now is CycloneBoom. Welcome to Who Wants to be a Millionaire. If you won $1,000,000 which is now a serious possibility, what would you do with it?

Thanks, I'm honoured to be here with this opportunity! A million dollars, wow it truly would be life-changing. First and foremost I'd give a large portion to my good friend who's struggling a bit financially right now, so they can get a new home and begin to rebuild in life from recent challenges they've faced. The rest leftover I'd give towards helping my family too, and then I'd see about possibly getting my own place instead of where I am right now. I'm doing alright, but things could be better. Maybe then see about a holiday somewhere as it's been a while since I've left my country here in England. Still I'll keep realistic and play each question on its merits. I'm all set with the rules and ready to give it my best.

If Green they'd probably be extra-terrestrial, but I'm certain The Simpsons definitely have Yellow skin.
A final answer.

I've heard of this expression before, although I've never properly understood precisely what it means. But thankfully that isn't the question!
I can deduce either A or B are most logical, but "mouth" rings a bell as being part of the phrase and so I'll go with that. A: In the mouth final answer.

Absolutely right for $1,000. Off to a flying start here. 10 questions away from $1,000,000. Going for $2,000 and here it is.
In February 2023, which team celebrated winning Super Bowl LVII, its second Super Bowl Championship in the last four seasons? A: San Francisco 49ers B: Cincinnati Bengals C: Philadelphia Eagles D: Kansas City Chiefs

I'm not an avid NFL watcher, but I do occasionally take a gander at the Super Bowl given it's the big end of season game, and I watched the highlights earlier this year. I have heard of each of those 4 teams, I think that might've been most recently versus the Eagles, and I recall the Chiefs came out on top. It was a close dramatic game too, and there was a field goal kicked at the end to win it if I recall correctly. I do believe all 4 of these were involved in recent Super Bowls, and I remember Tom Brady winning again too when he moved from the Patriots.
It's almost tempting to go 50:50 in attempt to rule the other two out, but that won't necessarily help me if C and D are left.
My gut instinct is the Chiefs are the most recent winner, which based on being in February would also mean they won again within the past 4 years as well. So having reached my 1st safety net, I'm going to play with a calculated risk and go D: Kansas City Chiefs final answer.
