You are in the middle of a great game. Youre 20,000 into it. [cheers and applause] just six questions away from the 1 million, and you still have two lifelines. You have the ask the audience and your plus one, should you need them. So youre in really good shape. Just two away from that next threshold of 50,000. So lets get back to your game and lets play. Lets do this. Who wants to be a millionaire. [dramatic musical flourish] [applause] all right, young man. [laughs] yeah. 30,000 is what this question is worth. According to the census bureau, the number of u. S. Residents who came from what part of the world skyrocketed from 1,135 in 1850 to 36,796 in 1860 . 10 years1850 to 1860. Latin america, europe, asia, africa. Phoof. According to the census bureau, u. S. Residents came from what part of the world skyrocketed . You have two lifelines. Yes. Audience and your plus one. Plus one and the two the audience. Wow. This is i got a couple of these ripping through my head right now. This isthis is a good one. I got two of them that stand out. Mm. Its not easy. No. Its a lot of money. Yeah, you guys decided to make it a little bit tougher here, and i gotta believe its i wish i wouldnt have thrown away that 50 50. That would have really helped right now. You didnt throw it away. It got you to 20,000. [laughs] i know. And you still have two lifelines. You still have the audience and your plus one. Im haunted by the question i chose to do that with. Ill be hitting myself for a while on that one. Uh, lets see. Lets, uh, i want to see what the audience thinks on this one. Okay. Final . Uh, final. I would like to use the audience on this one. Okay, audience, byron could use a little help here. If you would, pick up those keypads, enter your vote now. [percussive music] what was going on in 1850 . How many people here were born around that time . [laughter] im gonna guess its a young audience. I dont think i have a shot with that. Im gonna guess none. All right, lets take a look at the results. Maybe the audience can help us out here. Or maybe not. Ooh, split. 36 a very slight edge to asia. Then theres africa with 34 and then europe has 22 . Not the overwhelming majority i know you were hoping for. Now that you used your audience, what were what are you thinking . Now that i used them, i, uh i know there was i was on asia. I was thinking asia because i remember there was so much going on with the labor and there wasthey were coming in and they were building the railroads, and you know, there was so much happening 1850, 1860, in the labor force. If you think about how there was that influx of people from asia, i really and then europes such a big, big country, but there wasnt a warthat i can think of going on, so. Whew. Still one lifeline, and youre atjust to remind you, youre at 20,000. Right. So thats always yours to walk away with. This is a chance to go to 30,000, and youre risking 15,000 now with an incorrect answer. Im gonna go ahead and use randy davila to come down here. And hes written a lot of books. Hes really sharp with philosophy and everything else. I mean, he justusually i ask him a question, he knows it, so i want my buddy, randy and he was bornand he was actually born in 1850. That would be good. That would be a plus. Is thisis this your final . My final is bringing randy randy, come on down. Lets knock em all out. [cheers and applause] how you doing . Pleasure to meet you. Hi, buddy. Iim hoping i felt you telepathically behind me telling me which one it is. Yes, and you were on the right track, my friend. Nice. From my perspective. But lets rule out d. And the number is 1,135 to begin with, because there were a lot of africans coming to the united states, unfortunately, for many years prior to that. Uh, europe, we had tons of of immigrants coming. And i think you hit it, so my recommendation to you is gonna be b, asia. As was my well, imfinal answer. B, asia. Well done, boys. Very well done thank you. [cheers and applause] 30,000. Hang out with us for a second. Byron, were gonna take a break. When we come back, hes gonna go for 50,000. Thats next.

Enjoy the romantic side of the strip at paris las vegas. As after a dvt blood clot,ital i sure had a lot to think about. What about the people i care about . Including this little girl. And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i asked my doctor. And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. i wanted him to eat healthy. , so i feed jake purina cat chow naturals indoor, a nutritious formula with no artificial flavors.
