In celebration of the 20th anniversary of "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire," Jimmy Kimmel steps into prime time as host of a special run of episodes featuring celebrity contestants playing for charity.
The 20th anniversary event kicks off with celebrity contestant Eric Stonestreet playing for Building Hope for Autism and Will Forte playing for The Pangea Network.
Will Forte continues his winning streak this week in support of The Pangea Network. Nikki Glaser will play for Rescue the Birds, including a never-before-seen historic moment in the show’s 20-year history.

Hosted by late-night's Jimmy Kimmel, this season will feature both celebrity contestants playing for the charity of their choice and frontline heroes trying their hand at a $1 million prize. In addition to lifelines "Ask the Host," "50/50" and "Phone a Friend," contestants playing on "Millionaire" can invite an expert guest to help them answer questions. It could be a relative, a beloved teacher or a famed trivia expert – anyone they want – to help them win as much money as they can.
In a first-time twist, the new season will feature pairs of celebrity contestants playing together in the hopes of winning $1 million for the charity of their choice.
“CNN”’s Jake Tapper and Kaitlan Collins test their smarts, and then comics Mike Birbiglia and Atsuko Okatsuka bring the laughs to the hot seat.
The season finale is packed: Sarah Silverman and Marc Maron and “The Office” stars Oscar Nuñez and Kate Flannery go for the million.
