00:00Six U.S. presidents had what first name, the most common presidential name in history?
00:07John, William, James, George.
00:13Okay, so we already know presidents aren't my strong suit.
00:17I'm going to try to think about the ones I've heard of, you know.
00:22Well, there were George Washington, George Bush Sr., and George Bush, other George Bush.
00:33So that's three Georges, but I don't know if I can think of two other, or three other Georges.
00:40He's a curious George, but he's a monkey.
00:44He'd be a great president.
00:46I'd give him a shot at this point.
00:48He's very curious.
00:49John sounds common.
00:56John F. Kennedy, that's where my knowledge runs out.
01:01William Taft.
01:07Everyone who ever taught me history is like, you suck, watching this right now.
01:13Or they suck.
01:14That's a better way to spin it.
01:17James, I feel like James might be it.
01:20Can't think of a lot of, I think the way to figure this out is to call my dad.
01:26Because I do think he's going to have way more knowledge about this than I would.
01:30So, let me just think about this for a second.
01:38Okay, I'm going to call my dad.
01:40You want to phone a friend?
01:41I want to phone a friend.
01:42Phone a dad.
01:43Do you consider dad to be a friend?
01:44Yeah, he's my friend.
01:45Yeah.
01:46All right, let's get him on the line.
01:47What's your dad's name?
01:48Jules.
01:49Jules, all right.
01:50He knows the call's coming?
01:51Yeah, he does.
01:52He still might not answer.
01:54Hello?
01:56Hi, Jules.
01:57Yes.
01:58It's Jimmy Kimmel.
01:59Hey, Jimmy, how you doing?
02:01I'm doing well.
02:02Your daughter's been arrested.
02:04You need to come down to the station.
02:07I got cash.
02:09It's better news than that.
02:10Maybe, I don't know.
02:11We'll see.
02:12Okay, Lauren's doing very, very well on this show.
02:15She's going for $500,000.
02:18Really?
02:19Yeah, really.
02:21You sound surprised.
02:22Was she not good in school?
02:24She was.
02:25No, I'm super surprised.
02:27Oh, come on!
02:29I did well.
02:31She was a straight-A student all the way through.
02:34Yeah, except math, but okay.
02:35Well, that's great news because I assume that means you're smart, too, Jules.
02:39Lauren is going to read a question to you and the four possible answers.
02:44You'll have 30 seconds to answer it, but you have 30 seconds for the whole thing,
02:49not just when she's finished reading the question.
02:52So you need to give your answer expediently.
02:55Okay.
02:56Ready, Lauren?
02:57I'm ready.
02:58Your time starts now.
03:00Six U.S. presidents had what first name, the most common presidential name in history?
03:06John, William, James, George.
03:10It's John.
03:12You know that for sure.
03:15Six presidents named John.
03:21What were the other answers, real quick?
03:22William, James, George.
03:27James, James, James.
03:33I don't feel great right now, I'm going to say that.
03:36Yeah.
03:37Well, why don't you start listing them again?
03:39Why don't you go through and think about...
03:42Okay, here's the thing.
03:43So he said John right off the bat, and then I said there are six presidents named John,
03:47and then he thought for 14 seconds, which was the longest 14 seconds I've ever felt in my life,
03:52and I almost started crying, and then he said James, James, James,
03:56which made me think he was naming the presidents in his head.
04:00Or he was talking to me.
04:02He's like, James, help, help.
04:04He got very formal with you all of a sudden.
04:06Yes, that's how parents are.
04:07Yeah.
04:08George Washington.
04:10James, okay, wait.
04:13Monroe, James Monroe, right?
04:16Good grief.
04:19He sounded so confident at the end.
04:21He knows everything that's on the line.
04:23I really want to trust my dad.
04:25Do I go back down to $32,000 if I don't get it?
04:28Yeah, you do.
04:29It's a huge drop, and I really want to win this money for the charity.
04:34When I tell you I can't think of more presidents, I can't.
04:37They're gone.
04:38There's none.
04:39I have, like, a gap between, like, Washington to, like, now, and it's all cloudy.
04:50It's so insane to just say James and not know, right?
04:53Like, that's so insane because there's so much money between $32,000 and $250,000.
04:57That's, like, a huge loss.
05:00I hate this.
05:01I'm going to call him back.
05:03There will be no Father's Day gift this year?
05:08I can't think of any presidents.
05:12This is insane.
05:14There's one named Donald.
05:16Yeah, I know that.
05:22I guess it comes down to your read of your dad and also your confidence in his knowledge of this area.
05:31I never paid attention to the presidents.
05:34There were so many people in my class who knew the order, but I never even tried.
05:37I was like, I don't know.
05:38I never tried.
05:39I didn't care about that, and that's really biting me right now.
05:43This is a great lesson for young people.
05:45Pay attention to everything because you might be the one who wants to be a millionaire, and you'll need to know.
05:49I want to say I really want to do it.
05:51I really want to do it because it wouldn't be so cool if I did it and then it went up.
05:54That would be so cool.
05:56It would be cool, yeah, for sure.
05:58If you win, it would be very cool.
06:01I'm playing at Dr. Phil speed here.
06:03I'm like, James, James.
06:05I could be here all day.
06:06James.
06:10We spent a month with Dr. Phil a couple of weeks ago.
06:15The gambler in me wants to walk away because I'm the non-gambler.
06:18I think it's a little nutty to go on a risk, but the amount of money that's at stake makes me feel like it's worth the risk in the positive category.
06:28It could be like, oh, wow, I could go up to $500,000, which would be so incredible.
06:35Well, if you want to do it mathematically, you have more to gain than you do to lose.
06:41That's a good point.
06:44James, final answer.
06:47This is a game.
06:48Let's play the game.
06:53Please, God.
06:57I think I'm having a problem with my screen.
06:58You know what we'll do?
06:59We'll take a break.
07:00No!
07:01And then we'll reveal what the answer will see if Lauren Lapkus just won $500,000 or not when we return.
07:08Am I insane?
07:14Oh, God.
07:16We are back with who wants to be a millionaire.
07:18We are here with Lauren Lapkus, who has been suffering.
07:22I think her appendix may have burst.
07:24This is the longest break anyone's ever taken.
07:26Come on, come on, come on, come on.
07:29Mike is suffering, too, over there.
07:30Oh, God, we got to do this.
07:31He's in the dark.
07:32Okay.
07:33So let's recap.
07:34Let's just talk about how we got to where we are.
07:39Okay?
07:40Yeah.
07:41So, yeah.
07:42Called your dad.
07:44Question was, six U.S. presidents had what first name, the most common presidential name in history?
07:51He gave you two answers.
07:53He goes, John.
07:54Then I said, are you sure?
07:55Six presidents, same name.
07:57He's like, what are their names?
07:58Read them again.
07:59James, James, James.
08:00That was it.
08:01Then he hung up.
08:02Or they hung up on him.
08:03So I, um...
08:04You decided to gamble.
08:05I decided to trust him, which is...
08:07I trust my dad.
08:08You decided to trust your dad.
08:09Yeah.
08:10And risk a lot of money.
08:12So much money.
08:13I feel really bad.
08:14A lot of money.
08:15Please be right.
08:16Well, let's get dad.
08:17Can we get dad back on the phone?
08:18Oh, God.
08:19Please be right.
08:20Oh, God.
08:21Oh, God.
08:22I feel sick.
08:23Please leave your message.
08:24Oh, no.
08:25That's so my dad.
08:26Hold on.
08:27Leave it up.
08:28He would turn off the phone.
08:29I'll give you another number if you need one.
08:30Leave it up.
08:31Hey, Jules.
08:32I'm here with your daughter, Lauren, and we want to leave a message to the family.
08:34I'm crying.
08:35Oh, my God, that was amazing.
08:36Oh, my God.
08:37Oh, my God.
08:38That was so cool.
08:39How great that your dad is not picking up the phone.
08:40Yes, he is.
08:41He's not.
08:42He's not picking up.
08:43That's not good.
08:44Don't be mad, Jules.
08:45You're not.
08:46You're not picking up.
08:47You're not.
08:48Oh, no.
08:49What have we got to do?
08:50Oh, my God.
08:51You're almost crying.
08:52You're almost crying.
08:53Oh, my God.
08:54Oh, my God.
08:55Oh, my God.
08:56Oh, my God.
08:57Oh, my God.
08:58Oh, my God.
08:59Oh, my God.
09:00Oh, my God.
09:01Oh, my God.
09:02is not picking up the phone. He never answers the phone. I wonder if the message is still
09:05happening right now. ANSWER THE PHONE NEXT TIME! Oh my god, thanks dad. Wow. I'm so happy.
09:13You should be happy, I'm happy too. See here's the thing, I would have felt so bad if I didn't
09:17trust him and I walked away and it was right. I would have felt really really bad, so that was
09:20worth it. You know who I think you may not have thought about is Jimmy Carter being a James. I
09:24didn't think of anyone. The Jameses are Madison Monroe, Polk, Buchanan, Garfield and Jimmy Carter.
09:36All Jameses. I didn't even know that, so thanks dad. Well, whether you knew it or not.
09:45That is very good news. You've got $250,000. That's great, that's nice. And you still have
09:50two lifelines and you are two questions away from a million dollars. Yes, yes, yes. All right,
09:56next question is for 500. What country is called Druk Yul in its native language,
10:05meaning land of the thunder dragon? Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar, Nepal.
10:13Bhutan and Nepal are both mountainous. Thunder dragon, probably a reference to
10:24you know, thunder around mountains.
10:28If only you knew someone who travels around the world reporting on stuff. Yes, Bhutan and Nepal.
10:38Have you been to each of these places? I have not, no. I mean, I've been nearby, but I've been
10:46to Myanmar. Bhutan is, I was on my bucket list of where I'd like to go.
10:55I'm, I believe the answer is Bhutan. Druk Yul, Druk Yul.
11:02Druk Yul.
11:06Uh, 50-50. All right, computer take away two of the wrong answers.
11:17So, okay, so now I'm much more confident that it is Bhutan.
11:23The question is how confident is Bangladesh? I don't think has,
11:26it's lowlands, there's flooding in Bangladesh a lot, so I don't think
11:35thunder dragon makes much sense, whereas Bhutan, it makes total sense. B, Bhutan, final answer.
11:45Andy, do you think I'm right? Are you kidding? I have no idea on any level.
11:54Oh my god, oh my god. Did I just make a terrible, terrible mistake? I assume all that stuff you
12:00said was right about lowlands and... I will say if... Well, never mind. Yeah. I mean,
12:06maybe there's some parts of Bangladesh that are mountainous, but I don't know them.
12:10Yeah, or maybe you got it right. You did get it right.
12:23He's got $500,000. $500,000 for Kevlar dogs? Well, listen, it could be double that,
12:31because when we come back, Anderson Cooper is going to play for a million dollars on Hills.
