People who are obnoxious with the buzzer deserve to lose.

They just had the worst contestant of all time on Who Wants to be a Millionaire. She used a lifeline on three of the first four questions and got the fourth one wrong. The second question was something like:

Union leader (somebody) is credited with creating what holiday:

A) Hanukkah
B) Easter
C) New Years Day
E) Labor Day

she asked the audience

The fourth question was:

if you eat 125 cupcakes and consume 12,000 calories how many calories are in each cupcake

A) 9.6
B) 96
C) 960
D) 9600

She asked her plus one (her husband) then guessed C.

saw one recently that required an ask-the-audience:

The second hand of a clock rotates at what speed?

a. 33 RPM
b. 78 RPM
c. 16 RPM
d. 1 RPM

(and the audience tally was only 86%)

kinda creepy watching alex do life insurance spots now

Winner tonight had $110,914 for the game, that’s kinda good

Jeez, that's insane. What's the record for one game?

That set it I believe

Yeah saw the previous record was $77k back in 2010.

Sheesh, he annihilated the record.

James is absolutely insane

HE CAN'T BE STOPPED.

But seriously I don't see how he's stopped if he's this good on the buzzer.

He also knows everything

Is there a limit on how many shows you can be on now?

They all know most of these, though he probably knows slightly more. He just is so goddamn fast he gets there before them like 80% of the time. Samantha is doing a pretty commendable job buzzing though.

Don't think there's a limit anymore.

Feel real bad for the people who realize a life's dream and go up against this fuckin guy.

Dude is making bank, but has the personality of an empty bottle waiting for recycling day.

But the buzzer is more about timing. You don't get to buzz in as soon as you know the answer, so it's not about being quick. You have to wait until the question is done being asked. That's why my step-dad got frustrated. He knew the answers, but was buzzing in a little too quick and getting locked out.

James' AVERAGE for 12 wins -- $70,994 -- is not far from the previous record for earnings in a single game -- $77,000.

This is like Babe Ruth's 60 HR in 1920 coming after the dead ball era.
