You might become a millionaire. You have a problem with that? I don't think so. (Regis Philbin) FINAL ANSWER??? The newly redesigned five- and 10-dollar bills were unveiled yesterday. Personally, I don't think it's appropriate that Alexander Hamilton was replaced by Regis Philbin. (Jim Rosenberg) ShopTalk, February 4, 2000 <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE? ... AGAIN NEW YORK, NY (DPI) -- History was made Wednesday morning as "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," a quiz show from ABC television where contestants answer multiple-choice questions for monetary prizes, was released into national syndication after a mere 46 episodes. "We're very, very, very excited about this," remarked Andy Barclay, head of programming at area UPN affiliate KDUM. "We figure, why should ABC have all the fun? Everybody loves this slop! This is gonna be great!" Barclay plans to air the show daily at 5:00 PM after "The Simpsons," an animated comedy, and at 6:30 PM after "Seinfeld," a situational comedy, then again at 10:30 PM after "Roseanne," another situational comedy. "Millionaire has all the staying power in the world," remarked Barclay. "We figure since it's the next big thing, why not take it for all it's worth?" When asked about the sheer frequency challenge in showing three episodes a day of a 46-episode package, Barclay responded, "We actually think it will be more popular the more it's seen. I mean, everyone feels pretty stupid when they don't know all the answers, so I figure once they see the same episode five or six or ten times, they'll know all the answers for not only the questions, but they'll also kick ass in the 'Fastest Finger' too. It's win-win, man! It's the next 'Married With Children,' or 'Unhappily Ever After' -- no one is ever gonna get tired of this show!" Barclay plans to kick off the run of KDUM's newest show with a marathon of all the episodes back-to-back, beginning Saturday at noon.. "Watch it this weekend, and then of course every day after that" commented Barclay. "I mean, this is my job we're talking about here! C'mon!"
