from cambridge, massachusetts, please welcome back sanders kleinfeld. [cheers and applause] hey, sanders, welcome back, buddy. come on over. 16 years, really, you' ve been trying to get on this stage? >> i-i remember it vividly. i was a senior in high school when the first version of "millionaire" came out-- the prime time version with regis philbin. >> of course. >> back then, they had a phone game and you just had to dial in to answer questions to get on, so i would call every day, every night, it just never worked out and i' ve been trying out ever since. >> all right, well, you finally made it

sanders kleinfeld has now reached that $5,000 threshold.cheers and applause] you used the "audience" lifeline, but you still have two left. >> uh-huh. >> next stop, $7,000, so let's play "who wants to be a millionaire." [dramatic musical flourish] ♪ $7,000 question. if they had kept their original name, today the de-evolution band would be known as the group behind which hit song? >> okay, so "livin' on a prayer" is bon jovi. "money for nothing," i think, is dire straits. "jump" is van halen. "whip it" is by devo, and that makes sense with the de-evolution band, so i'm gonna go with d, "whip it," final answer. >> whip it good. $7,000, that's right. >> all right, yeah. [cheers and applause] >> 7 grand. [horn blares] sanders, that sound means that time is up for today, but you're not done. >> okay. great. >> two lifelines, $7,000. he is 8 away from that $1 million question. can he get there? we'll find out. thanks for watching. for everyone who's been a part of this one, i'm chris harrison. we'll see you next time. [cheers and applause] close
