A Blonde Goes On Who Wants To 
Be A Millionaire

Regis: 
“Barbara, you’ve done very well so 
far – $500,000 and one lifeline 
left — phone a friend.

The next question will give you the top 
prize of One Million dollars if you get 
it right … but if you get it wrong you will 
drop back to $32,000 — are you ready?”

Barbara: 
“Sure, I’ll have a go!”

Regis: 
“Which of the following birds does not 
build it’s own nest?

Is it……..

A-Robin

B-Sparrow

C-Cuckoo

D-Thrush

Remember Barbara its worth 1 Million dollars.”

“I think I know who it..but I’m not 100%…
No, I haven’t got a clue. I’d like to phone a 
friend Regis, just to be sure.”

Regis: 
“Yes, who, Barbara, do you want to phone?”

Barbara: 
“I’ll phone my friend Maggie back home 
in Birmingham.”

(ringing)

Maggie (also a blonde): 
“Hello…”

Regis: 
“Hello Maggie, its Regis here from Who Wants 
to be a Millionaire – I have Barbara here and 
she is doing really well on $500,000, but needs 
your help to be a Million.
The next voice you hear will be Barbara’s 
and she’ll read you the question.
There are 4 possible answers and 1 correct 
answer and you have 30 seconds to answer 
— fire away Barbara.”

Barbara: 
“Maggie, which of the following birds does 
not build it’s own nest? Is it:

A-Robin

B-Sparrow

C-Cuckoo

D-Thrush”

Maggie: 
“Oh Gees, Barbara that’s simple…..
It’s a Cuckoo.”

Barbara: “You think?”

Maggie: 
“I’m sure.”

Barbara: 
“Thanks Maggie.” (hangs up)

Regis: 
“Well, do you want to stick on $500,000 or 
play on for the Million, Barbara?”

Barbara: 
“I want to play, I’ll go with C-Cuckoo”

Regis: 
“Is that your final answer?”

Barbara: 
“It is.”

Regis: 
“Are you confident?”

Barbara: 
“Yes fairly, Maggie’s a sound bet.”

Regis: 
“Barbara…..you had $500,000 and you said 
C-Cuckoo …you’re right! – You have just 
won ONE MILLION DOLLARS.

Here is your check. You have been a great 
contestant and a real gambler. 
Audience please put your hands together 
for Barbara.”

(clapping)

That night Barbara calls round to Maggie and 
brings her down to a local bar for a celebration 
drink and, as they are sipping their Champagne, 
Barbara turns to Maggie and asks 

“Tell me Maggie, How in God’s name did you know 
that it was the Cuckoo that does not build its 
own nest?

Maggie: 

“Listen Barbara, everybody knows 
that a Cuckoo lives in a clock.”
