Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Questions & Answers for 2024 (Season 23)

The list of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire questions and answers for Season 23 with Jimmy Kimmel is generally easier than most WWTBAM seasons. This is because this season features pairs of celebrities playing for charity, instead of regular civilians, which essentially makes this a throwback to the popular Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Celebrity Edition with Regis Philbin. Fans of the game show will also be reminded of the UK version of WWTBAM, which had episodes that had celebrity duos as contestants too. Either way, we’re just glad that this show is making a comeback after a three-year hiatus. But even though two heads are better than one, perhaps you can answer the questions below without any help or lifelines. Here’s the full list of questions and answers for WWTBAM 2024.

We have also covered the correct answer for each question so that you can work out the right response (click on the arrows to reveal the answer!).
