But this time around, there's a few twists. The US version is now hosted by the titular host of Jimmy Kimmel Live and the contestants this time around will be celebrity guest stars instead of random audience members waiting backstage.
It's currently unknown if the OG hosts Regis Philbin and Meredith Viera will return to the project in some way shape or form, despite not hosting this reboot. It's also unconfirmed if they will reuse the ORIGINAL music cues between 1999-2010 and if it will return the Fastest Finger questions.
However what we do know is that aside from the host and contestant changes, it will return the iconic features of answering 15 questions to win the $1,000,000, answering one question incorrect or time running out to answer that said question ending the game in which the contestants leave the studios will all the cold hard cash they won up to this point, the dreadful horn signaling time running out the end of the episode, the iconic catchphrase of "Is that your final answer?" and the classic lifelines of 50:50, Phone A Friend and Ask the Audience the contestants can use if they get stuck.
So get ready to watch one of the most famous game shows of all time rebooted for a whole new generation of fans. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? USA 2020 returning TOMORROW April 8th at 10:00PM ET/9c only on ABC
