In order to listen to some French I turned the TV, there was not much on this Saturday night, but there was the French version of Millionaire. This edition had French celebrities. I was amused by how US culture and politics made its way into the questions.

Dans le dessin animé "Les Simpson", quel est le moyen de transport préféré de Bart? (In the animated cartoon "The Simpons," what is Bart’s prefered mode of transportation?)A: le skateboard
B: les rollers (rollerblades)
C: le vélo (bike)
D: le trottinette (scooter)
The only celebrity I was familiar with was Bénabar, a French singer, who is sitting on the left. Bénabar and the other contestant answered this question correctly..JPG)
Le soir où Barak Obama a été élu président, l’Empire State Building s’est illuminé… (The night Barak Obama was elected president, the Empire State Building was illuminated…)
A: en bleu (in blue)
B: en rose (in pink)
C: en vert (in green)
D: en jaune (in yellow)
These two contestants incorrectly answered the question, even after doing fifty-fify and polling the audience. They guested green, instead of blue. They knew blue was one of the US national colors, but green is supposedly the color of hope and both of them had green eyes...
