WHO Wants to Be a Millionaire viewers have been left impressed after Lisa Ann Walter correctly guessed a hard $250k question.
Many viewers of the popular game show noted that they struggled to answer the question themselves.
During this week’s episode of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire, Lisa, 60, teamed up with Rosie O’Donnell.
In the $250,000 round, they were asked, “The only one-word country whose name contains all five vowels is located on what continent?”
The choices were: Asia, Africa, Europe, and South America.
The Abbott Elementary star and her Millionaire partner talked through their response together, listing off various countries in an attempt to figure it out.
“Let’s go through all the countries in the world … sorry, alphabetically,” Lisa joked.
She went on to suggest Ecuador, Nigeria, and Morocco before something came to her.
“Oh wait! Mozambique. It’s Africa,” she assured Rosie, 60.
They submitted the answer, with host Jimmy Kimmel saying, “I have to hand it to you … you figured it out. It’s Africa.”

Lisa and the Smilf star stood up from their seats and celebrated.
GOOD GOING
In the comments, fans also gave Lisa major props.
John Mulaney & Nick Kroll fumble $125,000 over ‘obvious’ Succession question on Millionaire premiere – did you know it?
“Spent 10 minutes on it and couldn’t figure it out… while she gets it in like 30 seconds!!!! that’s why she’s a TOCer and I’m on the couch lmao,” a viewer wrote.
“I figured it out quickly. But it was only because the country was a lyric to the song, Life is a Highway,” a second person posted.
“I was going through the continents like they did until I came to Africa. I was going through all the countries in Africa until Mozambique came to mind. Good thinking by @LisaAnnWalter,” a third fan praised.

BIG WINNER
This isn’t the first time Lisa has flexed her impressive knowledge on a game show.
In January, she appeared on an episode of Celebrity Jeopardy! and won.
The actress received an invitation to appear on the Tournament of Champions.
Lisa was joined by showrunner Michael Davies and longtime producer Sarah Ross for an interview after winning $1milllion on Celebrity Jeopardy!.
During the interview, she learned that in addition to her cash winnings, they had one more prize for her.
“It is my honor, it is nonbinding, Lisa Ann, but you as a Celebrity [Jeopardy!] champion are cordially and respectfully invited to appear in our next Tournament of Champions,” Davies said.
Overwhelmed with joy, Lisa Ann shouted, “I’m going to cry!”
“No pressure, it’s not a requirement. We’re not going to hold back the check to your charity for it. But that’s how much we think about the people who win Celebrity Jeopardy,” Michael quickly added.
Lisa happily accepted, saying, “You really made my day. I am terrified but I am going to say an immediate yes.
“It would be my honor to go on the Tournament of Champions – and lose immediately.”
Lisa Ann will be in the 2025 ToC, following Ike Barenholtz, who was in the last one (and didn’t do shabby).
LUDICROUS
Lisa and Rosie’s stunning win comes after a disappointing loss for another celebrity duo.
John Mulaney and Nick Kroll competed together on the season premiere on Wednesday, July 10.
The celebrity pair was given their lifelines (50:50, Ask The Audience, Phone a Friend, and Ask the Host), and started to play.
They made light work of the first eight questions, answering without using their lifelines but used three on the $64,000 question.
Nick, 46, and John, 41, made it all the way to the $125,000 question and were asked about HBO’s hit series, Succession.
The question asked how Cousin Greg (Nicholas Braun) referred to his girlfriend’s tote bag.
Neither Nick nor John knew the answer, so they used their Ask the Host lifeline, having used the other three.
Jimmy said he was a big fan of Succession and Cousin Greg and recalled the episode in question.
He noted, however, that option C, “Ludicrously capacious bag,” sounded “too much to me.”
The Big Mouth stars chose option A, which was not correct, and won just $32,000.
“I blame the writers,” Jimmy said as the audience gasped.
Fans on social media were stunned that the pair missed that answer.
“No way did John Mulaney and Nick Kroll lose on who wants to be a millionaire because of a succession trivia question,” one X user wrote.
“I have never seen the show, but damn it if I don’t know it’s a ludicrously capacious bag. JOHN GET ON TWITTER!!!!” wrote another viewer.
“John Mulaney and Nick Kroll on Who Wants to be a Millionaire trying to answer a question about succession was not on my 2024 bingo card,” joked another fan.
“Watching Who Wants to be a Millionaire and if you watched Succession, you know what a LUDICOUSLY CAPACIOUS BAG is lmaoooo,” wrote a fourth.
