It wasn't rigged live, but the question writers concluded which two answers were most likely to be guessed and those two were locked in the system. It was serious business, the show ran in over 100 countries, they weren't messing about.
!!!SPOILER!!! HE TIPPED HIM OFF!!! Regis i mean...."i´m gonna give you another second to think about it - and then im going to say: is that your final answer?"...in my ears that was a warning...
poor ben :( i was rooting for him. he should have walked away instead. but he tried his best. i was actually thinking it was "sea plant" as well. the audience did gasp...so that should have gave him a hint. and regis gave him a second chance to think about it...oh well :( he did good anyway! :)
Yes,but its not against the rules and its very hard to come into google in less than 30 sec and find the answer. But if that guy your calling are ready and knows you are contesting there,he can be on google and wait for the call then fastly search it up.
Alex The Lion (AKA Ben Stiller) won $32,000 for the PROJECT ALS charity. He gave back $93,000 But hey, $32,000 is still a lot of money for charity. note to self: add ALS to favorite charities list.
i believe a tropical gourd is like some kind of tree.and is indigenous2tropical climate...my moms family grew tht shit back in trinidad&tobago..its a shame..i knew the answer rite away..stiller is still the man though..
you know, every time i look at those loofas i've always thought it was something of a sea spongey looking thing, lol. but yeah, the question has the key word 'fibrous interior' and no ben, sea plants do not have fibrous interiors :/ oh well, u tried!
@VIadTheImpaIer kindda like a sponge used to wash your back or anywhere in yourbody mostly used in middle eastern countries like turkish bath thing if used it with a cold water and a fine smelling soap and sit in a cool place u will feel you are in heaven ^_^
His mum was only 50% sure it was sea plant, that means she was 50% sure it was wrong, that would also means she is 50 sure the right answer is Tropical Gourd😉😉
I like how Ben Stiller is the only one brave enough to call the 'random computer 50/50' thing as being rigged lol
Norm MacDonald called it out as well.
Norm Macdonald's was better.
@@HilarityBriboand Norm was right
one of the best phone a friends I've ever heard.
Fuckin I just watched 10 min of two guys questioning the definition of loofah...
R.I.P. Anne Meara (1929-2015)
Ben is such a nice and cool guy, was rooting for him to win the whole million, but that loofah question was a tough one.
Ben, Ben, Benny i like u more than ever before!! Very funny mom and son!
I like that he actually seems to take it seriously unlike most of the other celebrity contestants.
"On a scale of 1 to 100 how sure are you?"
"50"
:D :D Omg that cracked me up.
thanks for sharing !!!!! i love bn Stiller ! his mum cracked me up with her " oy gevalt" !! lol RIP Anne Meara :(
His mom is funny.
when you give me a gourd and a seaplant, i'll say a seaplant xD
His face when she said 50 percent was priceless!
He's so right about the 50/50

oh wow, I was completely sure it was made from a sea sponge... guess that shows how smart I am
Regis was giving him extra chances to change his mind, he knew it wasn’t Sea Plant.
!!!SPOILER!!!
HE TIPPED HIM OFF!!! Regis i mean...."i´m gonna give you another second to think about it - and then im going to say: is that your final answer?"...in my ears that was a warning...
The daytime show is getting rid of the phone a friend lifeline in a couple months because everybody googles the answer.
Was wondering why it changed
I love how he keeps saying "I know" when Regis goes on and on loll
Neel Nadkarni haha he was also pissed at Chevy chase in the first part
poor ben :( i was rooting for him. he should have walked away instead. but he tried his best. i was actually thinking it was "sea plant" as well. the audience did gasp...so that should have gave him a hint. and regis gave him a second chance to think about it...oh well :( he did good anyway! :)
anne meara is a hoot
The whole time I was thinking how obvious is was that it was a sea plant
30 seconds to google, good luck. And i do not think that his show is live on TV, so she cant check the answer before he calls.
Anne was awesome.
I was screaming gourd! A "sea plant" was just a dumbed down deturent answer.
my theory is he has a really high IQ. comedians have to think real hard for jokes. hes a really smart guy
Have you ever thought that the phone a friend can just google the fucking answer
and regis REALLY helped him! i got to say, ben u seemed very smart at first then u lost it, lol
His brother in law is squid ward from spongebob lol
We see where he gets his sense of humor lmao.
Nothing is against that. In fact, someone once asked his phoned person to directly look up the answer.
I was thinking Tropical Gourd because what sea plant would be called "Sea Plant"? That's not specific.
Yup, I'd have failed too.
9:57 for one question....and he gets it wrong LOL
It doesn't matter if he did in the celeb version. It'sfor charity, so giving even more money is good, i guess O.o
Yes,but its not against the rules and its very hard to come into google in less than 30 sec and find the answer. But if that guy your calling are ready and knows you are contesting there,he can be on google and wait for the call then fastly search it up.
aw, that SUX! i was guessing tropical gourd. poor ben...

lmao this made me think of that seen in along came polly :D
Me too
Oh,i didnt knew that.
But it used to be like that.
If you don't know, then you must go.
aww poor thing!
You could always just try to not see when the video ends. So no accidentally kicking your desk and shaking the mouse or anything. I know how you feel.
i was leaning towards gourd :P really great millionaire episode though
Frankly, he can make up the difference, he is rich with money and has been since 1996!
@VIadTheImpaIer
