Or you could intentionally get stupid players and do the show for comedy... but that doesn't fit with a million dollar prize.
Hey, what about Betty White?

It's going to be interesting to watch : This is the first network celebrity/civilian game show with a $1Million top prize. If you felt it was awkward on Donnymid when Jillian Barberie torpedo'ed a contestant's shot at big money, wait till the first time a frustrated contestant takes a full-cocked swing at Kathy Griffin after a blown money round on Password .
/Damn right I'd watch that.
//And the Entertainment Tonight coverage of it.
///And I'd download it on YouTube.
////Often.

Part of me thinks the producers will realize that one million IS a lot of money, and not just what all the other "cool kids" offer on their shows. As a result, they'll actually look for people who a) know how to play the game, and b) know there's money on the line, and play a good game, not just go on board to pimp their project or goof off the whole time with shenanigans.
Then again, this is Fremantle, and I wouldn't put it past them to intentionally book celebrities for their shenanigans. That way, they'll never worry about having to cough up a cool million. Gee, another American Idol showdown, anyone?
Okay, that's a bit much, but most of us know how Fremantle can be, making ridiculous changes just because. Would be nice if they actually take this show seriously, and not resort to shenanigans while giving away so much money.
/I'll pistol-whip the next guy that says shenanigans!
//Hey Farva, what's the name of that restaurant you like with all the goofy s**t on the walls on the mozzarella sticks?

Perchance Bea Arthur?
How about the woman who played Ellen in Carol Burnett's "The Family" sketches?

Is it beyond the realm of possibility that they'd get celebrities people have heard of? Each pair only has to sit there for an hour, and it is prime time. Regis got good celebrities for Millionaire, why not here?
Maybe it would be an inducement if they split the prize money between the civilian and the star's charity.

Each pair will have to sit there for more than an hour, if every other primetime game show of the last 2 years' inaugural taping is any indication.
