This will be the first time Millionaire will be in production since the syndicated version ended last May. “Regis came to me in a dream, asked me to do this and promised my own line of neckties if I did. I had little choice but to say yes,” Kimmel said in a statement, referring to ABC's first Millionaire host Regis Philbin.
