[highbridmoments]

[TlGBC]

poland really hates vowels and letters other than the last 5 in the latin alphabet

[maggie6666666666666]

:/

[Jakub1POLSKA]

Mitchell, do you come from Poland? Cause Szczepańczyk is Polish name.

[CIMC]

Nie. Urodzilem w USA. Moja rodzina przysla z Polsce. :-)

[Jakub1POLSKA]

CIMC, ty chyba nie jesteś msszczep!

[fizbree]

I would've guessed McDermotts for the last Q.

But, since I haven't watched TV in over 15 years - I wouldn't know. What would've happened if you put your last question to the audience?

[msszczep]

The audience would have gotten it right, I believe.

[fizbree]

Indeed.

[Wolfman12395]

How did you get on millionaire anyway?

[msszczep]

(1) Yes, they do play the background music and the sound cues -- but I only barely heard them.

(2) As one person termed it: "Take as much time as you want, but no more than four minutes." :-)

(3) I received the money in just under a month. I have until April 15 to figure out the taxes. :-)

[Wolfman12395]

Hey thanks man for answering, not too many people upload their game show appearances!

Anyway, I'm surprised they only wanted you to take 4 minutes, I mean, back in the Regis days, I heard people took 15 minutes at least to answer some questions.

Also, how did you get on the show anyway and was it hard to get on millionaire? Were you nervous as well?

Thanks :D

[Wolfman12395]

Hey, congrats on the appearance. I gotta ask a few questions. First, do they literally play the background music while you were in the seat?

Second, do they now have a time limit as to when you are supposed to answer?

Third, how long did it take you to receive the money and how much of it was taken in taxes?

:)
