I would have confidently answered “cherry” and been wrong. The sticking point, which the author of the question probably knew, is that Bings name was given different origins over the years. An episode of the radio show The Jack Benny Program which Bing guest-starred on in the 1940s/1950s specifically said that his nickname came from his favorite cherries. I assume that’s why the question goes according to his autobiography.
@thewirrow Oh I agree with you, he was going to go with the audience, but the sigh combined with his initial thought of dinner bell was what caused him to walk
The smart thing Jason should have done is to use the audience first, then the 50/50. First of all, a majority out of 4 is statistically more reliable than a majority out of 2. Secondly, he could have used 50/50 to double check if the audience was correct.
Lars Ulrich, drummer of Metallica, did celebrity Millionaire and he seriously f-ed up. He built up alot of cash and was so confident he knew an answer and blew it. I still love Metallica, though. The point is, I'm glad Jason didn't do the same thing.
C. e ods were if anyone was to really think about it - it would be comic strip simply because of the amount of people reading comic strips vs the amount that will hear his dinner bell (That is if he even had a dinner bell!) The olds also would be his neighbors read these comic strips simply because not everyone had a TV back then and most likly read News pappers, Radio Shows and WHAT ELSE... Thatssss right comic strips... in fact this video proves they did.
Of course it would have been "comic strip". Unless they were his neighbors how would Bing's friends know anything about his dinner bell? or when it goes off etc etc... His neighbors may know something about it but even that is unlikely due to the fact that the Hollywood Stars live on 10's of acres of land and have no immediate neighbors for miles. A comic strip is something all his friends would have access to in order to make that reference. It had to be comic strip.
"ianwhy12345" Well that is great! and now you only have another 305 million to go... Talk to them and get back to me... OR you can stop labeling "ALL" for the actions of a few... Your choice what ever is easier.

Dinner bell was too obvious of a choice for a 500k question - figured it was comic strip after 50/50 was used.

Pretty good for being unemployed and living with his parents
Uncle Buck, look at how he made a living.

It was and should've been.

Good job Jason!!! You're funny brilliant man and you played beautifully!!!!
He did it just like Meredith Vieira.
it makes sense to hit sth. that is out of the game if you don't know the answer ... that actually helps - they basically say 'i dont have any idea'
