Erin Andrews: Tonight, the quiz show that intrigued a nation returns. From all four corners of the nation, people have come here to LA for a chance at winning a fortune. Real people, making the biggest financial decisions of their lives. So, join us from Universal Studios in Hollywood as we try to make someone's dreams come true. It's Who Wants To Be A Millionaire on NBC, and it starts right now.





Erin: Greetings and salutations, and I mean that very sincerely because it's the debut of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire right here on NBC! And, for the record, I must say we feel right at home already because Howie Mandel trashed my parking space. (audience laughs) Howie, you owe me 250 bucks! And speaking of which, we have a lot of money to give away, possibly a cool million. So without further ado, let's welcome our very first contestant, Danny Margulis!
