Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Season 4 Episode 2: Jordan and Ronny from The Daily Show as contestants

The latest Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Season 4 Episode 2 was released on July 20, 2025. Apart from Matt Damon and Jeopardy! host Ken Jennings, the latest episode also featured two more participants.

They were Jordan Klepper and Ronny Chieng. While answering questions up to 9, the two didn't use any lifelines and won up to $16K. Further in the game, their $32K question was to name the rock band that released the Tattoo You album in 1981.

For that, they used Ask-The-Host, Jimmy Kimmel. After discussing that with him, they chose The Rolling Stones. It was the correct answer. Earlier, the duo was thinking of going with AC/ DC.

For 64K, the question was related to naming the world's largest country that has no natural rivers. Again, with some issues, they went with a 50/50 lifeline. The final two options were Mongolia and Saudi Arabia. Jordan and Ronny went with the latter, which was correct.

The next question on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was for $125K. Jordan Klepper and Ronny Chieng faced more trouble as they didn't know anything about it.

The question was:

"What invention, introduced in 1888, led Louis Brandeis to co-author “The Right to Privacy,” an essay that argued Americans had the “right to be let alone?"

For that, participants chose Phone-A-Friend. However, when it didn't help much, they decided to go with the option Polygraph. Unfortunately, it was the wrong answer. The correct answer was Kodak camera. As a result, the duo reached $32K from $64K.

Elsewhere on the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire episode, one of the questions was related to Jason and Travis Kelce. However, neither of the two was sure about which option to choose initially. Things got funnier when Ronny said:

"Jason and Travis Kelce are famously, I guess, those guys are famously white. And Ohio is super white. So I'm leaning towards..."

Listening to him, Jordan said it was not the best strategy to move forward. Ronny responded that it was the danger zone that they discussed. Because he said that they were "80% confident, but based on no knowledge." The audience enjoyed their discussion as they talked about the options.

Jordan was playing to help Community Help in Park Slope. It is a soup kitchen, shelter, and food pantry located in Brooklyn. On the other hand, Ronny's choice of organization was Asian Americans Advancing Justice. They fight for Asian Americans' civil rights.
