Celebrity Charity:
On Sunday, David Chang became the first celebrity to win $1 million for charity on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. Although to be fair, his phone-a-friend should be getting all the credit here. I’m with Chang in that I didn’t even know Benjamin Harrison was a president. If I had been his phone-a-friend I would’ve told him it was was trick question because none of those people were presidents and that the correct answer was George Washington because that guy was definitely a president.
Keep going for the full video as well as Norm Macdonald’s infamous performance on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire.
