Due to circumstances beyond my control, I am not in Washington tonight.
Instead, I am typing up this update. Note to self - don't trust eBayers
selling nosebleed seat tickets. (I only lost $8.33, but dammit, I'm still
ticked off.)
PREVIOUSLY ON MILLIONAIRE:
David McClane. God, won't this guy shut up? Yes, after giving him $250,000.
Chana took a risk at $16,000 and unfortunately lost $15,000 of it...
Now, we have Kurt Naumann. He's going to see if he can get some serious money
tonight on...
WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?
Kurt Naumann! Brandon, South Dakota, had a nightmarish plane trip to New York.
Cancelled flights, lost luggage, all kinds of problems... but finally, he's
here! Kurt is a call center manager.

No guarantees yet until he gets 2 more questions right to lock in $1000.
All three LifeLines remain.
For $500:
