Ben Affleck, ‘Jeopardy!’ Champ Win $1 Million for Charity on ‘Who Wants to Be a Millionaire’
Ben Affleck and former Jeopardy! champion Jamie Ding won $1 million for charity on ABC’s Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, hosted by Jimmy Kimmel. The prize will go to Affleck’s Eastern Congo Initiative, making them the latest celebrity pair to secure the programme’s top award.
The pair began the episode with two questions remaining and correctly identified the Wright brothers’ 1903 flight as an achievement once dismissed by The New York Times. For the final question, they were asked which food-themed names had not been given to turkeys pardoned by a US president, choosing from Peanut Butter and Jelly, Tater and Tot, Mac and Cheese, and Spaghetti and Meatball.
