TV "Millionaire" contestants to rely on Skype video calls for "Ask the expert" lifeline answers

By My status Howard Wolinsky on August 19, 2008 in .

Some new millionaires--and potential millionaires--will be putting Skype to work on the next season of "Who Wants To Be A MiIlionaire" hosted by Meredith Vieira.

Here's the scoop on the "Millionaire" format change that September 8:

When contestants on the popular show need help, they'll now make Skype video calls to consult face-to-face with "newsmakers, journalists, former "Millionaire" contestants, politicians, doctors, professors and trivia champs, among others," according to the Millionaire program.

Bill Nye the Science Guy, the science guru/comedian, will appear on the show's first week, Sept. 8-12. Ogi Ogas, a former "Millionaire" contestant who won $500,000, appears during week two, airing September 15-19.

And to answer the eternal question: "Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" Skype me. But I'll tell you my answer in this space: Everyone. Some of us even want to be a billionaire.
