ShareThisWho doesn't want to be a millionaire?
Well, probably someone who has billions. Other than that, we all do. And with that, ABC is marking the 10th anniversary of its one-time mega-hit "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" with 11 prime-time episodes (starting 8 p.m. EDT Sunday).
Regis Philbin is back as host. In the contestant seats are your garden-variety, everyday folks and, once per episode, a celebrity who'll play for charity and armed with an expert to help him or her. (Winners from the past prime-time series will be seated in the audience.)
The celebrity contestants include Kate Perry, Vanessa Williams, Sherri Shepherd, Lauren Conrad, Shawn Johnson, Rachael Ray, Patricia Heaton, Wynonna, Snoop Dogg and Steve Nash.
