Amitabh Bachan : "Santa , you've done very well so far - $500,000 and one lifeline left -- phone a friend.
The next question will give you the top prize of One Million dollars if you get it right ... but if you get it wrong you will drop back to $32,000 -- are you ready?"
Santa : "Sure, I'll have a go!"
Amitabh Bachan : "Which of the following birds does not build it's own nest?
Is it........
A-Robin
B-Sparrow
C-Cuckoo
D-Thrush
Remember Santa its worth 1 Million dollars."
"I think I know who it..but I'm not 100%...
No, I haven't got a clue. I'd like to phone a friend Amitabh Bachan , just to be sure.
Amitabh Bachan : "Yes, who, Santa , do you want to phone?
Santa : "I'll phone my friend Banta back home in Birmingham."
(ringing)
Banta (also a blonde): "Hello..."
Amitabh Bachan : "Hello Banta , its Amitabh Bachan here from Who Wants to be a Millionaire-I have Santa here and she is doing really well on $500,000, but needs your help to be a Million.
The next voice you hear will be Santa 's and she'll read you the question.
There are 4 possible answers and 1 correct answer and you have 30 seconds to answer -- fire away Santa ."
Santa : "Banta , which of the following birds does not build it's own nest? Is it:
A-Robin
B-Sparrow
C-Cuckoo
D-Thrush"
Banta : "Oh Gees, Santa that's simple.....It's a Cuckoo."
Santa : "You think?"
Banta : "I'm sure."
Santa : " Thanks Banta ." (hangs up)
Amitabh Bachan : "Well, do you want to stick on $500,000 or play on for the Million, Santa ?"
Santa : "I want to play, I'll go with C-Cuckoo"
Amitabh Bachan : "Is that your final answer?"
Santa : "It is."
Amitabh Bachan : "Are you confident?"
Santa : "Yes fairly, Banta 's a sound bet."
Amitabh Bachan : "Santa .....you had $500,000 and you said C-Cuckoo ...you're right! - You have just won ONE MILLION DOLLARS.
Here is your check. You have been a great contestant and a real gambler. Audience please put your hands together for Santa ."
(clapping)
That night Santa calls round to Banta and brings her down to a local bar for a celebration drink and, as they are sipping their Champagne, Santa turns to Banta and asks "Tell me Banta , How in God's name did you know that it was the Cuckoo that does not build its own nest?
Banta : "Listen Santa , everybody knows that a Cuckoo lives in a clock."
