[dramatic musical flourish] of the following, which could most likely serve as a home office for a hippologist?

horse, and a stable makes sense. i'm not gonna second-guess myself. i'm gonna go with d, a stable. final answer. >> you've been stable throughout. that's right. you got it. $20,000. marcus, good play, man. you still have two lifelines. and we're just two away from that $50,000 threshold. we'll see if he can get there next.

with major marcus jackson, who just reached $20,000. nice. and you still have two lifelines. you're really close to that $50,000 threshold. but first, you got to take that next step. so let's do it. let's play "who wants to be a millionaire."

[percussive music] all right, marcus, let's take a look, see if the audience can help us out here. well, maybe. 37% say al gore. 32% say toni morrison. what were you thinking? >> i was thinking al gore and

narrow anything down for me. i know there's a nobel prize for physics, so that would go to hawking. dalai lama sounds right for the peace prize. i don't know if al gore has won. but i also don't know if toni morrison has won. >> so here's where you are in the game. no more lifelines. you're at $30,000. you can walk away with that money. this is obviously a chance to get to 50 and that threshold. but at this point, with an incorrect answer, you're giving up $25,000. you walk out of here with 5. >> i'm guaranteed $5,000. i'm gonna take a guess, and i'm gonna go with the audience. c. final answer. >> unfortunately, this time, audience isn't right. neither are you. it's actually d, stephen hawking, believe it or not, stephen hawking. but you are taking home $5,000. you took a shot at it. you took a shot. thank you for being here. it was really nice to meet you. we're gonna be back with armed

[cheers and applause] welcome. good to have you here. >> glad to be here. >> so you were on deployment in afghanistan. you were two weeks away from coming home. and what happened? >> i was just on a normal, regular patrol out with my soldiers, and headed back from being out for a few hours. and out of nowhere, felt like i got hit by a wrecking ball. and looked down, saw that my legs were missing, and called out for help.

saved my life, and got me back home where i started my recovery. >> well, we're glad you made it home, glad you're here today. thank you so much for your service. [cheers and applause] i don't think anybody would mind if you took home $1 million today. >> thank you. >> so let me tell you what you're up against. 14 questions from $500 all the way up to $1 million. of course, you've got your three lifelines, plus that extra one we're giving you, "cut the question." if there's one in there, if you don't like it, you can chuck it, and we'll give you an easier one. you ready to go? >> let's play, yeah. let's do it. >> let's play "who wants to be a millionaire." [dramatic musical flourish] all right, we all start with that $500 question. newly redesigned, the current army combat uniform uses the operational camouflage pattern,

colors? >> uh, let's see, of all those, i don't think many of them would be very tactical, except for c, green, brown, and cream. final answer. >> that's exactly right. [cheers and applause] which is good, because neither one of us know what fuchsia or periwinkle is. $1,000 question's up next. though his name is now more often associated with bamboo torches, mai tais, and gaudy theme bars, in maori mythology, the first man on earth was who? >> well, when i think of bamboo torches, i think of tiki torches. and so i'm gonna go with a, tiki. final answer.

$1,000. third question, $2,000, this is it. cluster, sinus, and tension are three well-known types of what health malady? >> never heard of a sinus bruise, sinus sprain, or sinus rash. i've heard sinus headaches. and so i'm gonna go with c, headaches. final answer. >> exactly right. $2,000. [horn blares] well, at $2,000, that sound means that time is up for today. but you're gonna be coming back and playing more "millionaire." all your lifelines are there. we're two away from that threshold. so stick around. and you stick around. thanks for watching today. for everyone whose been a part of this one, thanks for joining us on armed forces week.
