Overview

• Oscar Nuñez and Kate Flannery captured the top prize on ABC’s Who Wants to Be a Millionaire and designated the full amount for Planned Parenthood and Philadelphia food bank Philabundance.
• The final question asked for the literal meaning of the ancient Greek root of “planet,” and Flannery chose “wanderer” for the win.
• Host Jimmy Kimmel prolonged the reveal before confirming the correct answer, triggering a confetti celebration and the presentation of an oversized check.
• The pair phoned The Office co-star Brian Baumgartner as their lifeline during the high-stakes run, adding to the Dunder Mifflin reunion feel.
• Coverage links the moment to Nuñez’s return as Oscar Martinez in The Paper, which debuted on Peacock this month and is slated for an NBC broadcast starting November 10.
