ABC is bringing Who Wants to Be a Millionaire back to primetime for a two-week special run from August 9-23, the network announced Monday. It's also bringing back the show's original host, Regis Philbin. "ABC's 10th anniversary edition of 'Millionaire' will celebrate everything that viewers loved about the original, combined with the major improvements to the game play after seven successful years in syndication," the network said in a news release. "In addition, as a brand new feature of the return of prime time 'Millionaire,' every episode will culminate with a celebrity playing one question for $50,000 to benefit their charity of choice. The lineup of celebrity players will be announced at a later date."
