Who Wants to Be A....Contestant on the Net?

© Michelle White

You turn on the TV and there he is. That sweet man with the great poker face. He looks and asks "Is that your final answer?" If you don't know that I am talking about Regis Philbin and Who Wants To Be A Millionaire then you are spending too much time away from the TV and every single media resource! Whether this is a good thing or a bad thing I don't know.

If you've tried to avoid all the hype, and don't want to know what everyone is going nuts about, then stop here. However, if you want to learn more OR if you feel that you are going through withdrawal when the shows are NOT on TV, then do I have an article for you. In honor of the latest and greatest TV Game Show frenzy, I have decided to give you a list of links to some of the shows that have companion online games! This means you can play online until it's time for the show to come on! Now if this isn't a GREAT time waster, I don't know what is.

Personally, I truly cannot get enough of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire. In my opinion, it is one of the best prime time Game Shows on (out of all the recent newbies and revivals) in part because I've been able to answer some of the questions and also because I think that Regis makes the BEST game show host ever. (I think he'd also make a great poker player.) So to satisfy my current addiction, I had to find out if they had created an online version - and they did! So click here and you can play along too.

Another new TV Gameshow is Twenty One. I believe that this is a revival of the game show from the 50's and it's hosted by Maury Povich. It's not a bad show. The online game is a quick and simple one but it helps to kill some time. Click here to go to the site and play.

Another show I am hooked on is Win Ben Stein's Money on Comedy Central. The internet game is played the same way as the TV game BUT you are offered some choices for your guesses (I need that kind of help!). Click here to see what I am talking about!

Here's one I have not tried WebRIOT at MTV.com. I think you play this at the same time as the game is on? I figured that someone out there would enjoy this link.
