23 Jul
Summary
- Jamie Ding, a top Jeopardy earner, partnered with Ben Affleck.
- They played for the Eastern Congo Initiative charity.
- The game continues next week for a chance at $1 million.
Jamie Ding, a former "Jeopardy" contestant who ranks fifth in all-time earnings with $882,605, recently appeared on "Celebrity Who Wants to be a Millionaire." He teamed up with actor Ben Affleck for the charity episode airing on ABC. They played to support the Eastern Congo Initiative, an organization dedicated to helping communities in the Democratic Republic of Congo.
The celebrity pair reached the $250,000 question, correctly identifying that men in devil costumes jump over babies during Spain's El Colacho festival. They were only two questions away from the $1 million jackpot when the show concluded due to time constraints. Their game is set to continue next week, with Ding and Affleck returning to face the $500,000 question.
This season of "Millionaire" also features other notable individuals from Michigan. Director and actor Paul Feig, known for his work on "Freaks and Geeks" and "Bridesmaids," and comedian Michael Kosta, a correspondent on "The Daily Show," are also scheduled to appear. Episodes for Feig and Kosta have not yet aired.
