Preliminaries: Harris/Lobo/Harper
April 15
Last time on the Million Dollar Celebrity
Invitational, Cheech Marin lit up the board and smoked Anderson Cooper and Aisha
Tyler to earn slot #7 alongside Charles Shaughnessy, Michael McKean, Andy Richter, Jane Kaczmarek, Harry Shearer, Pat Sajak.
Today, part 1 of a doubleheader, where the eighth position is on offer. By the
end of the week, we'll have our final May bracket as we get closer to the top
prize of $1 million for the charity of his or her choice.
The players who win these two games (and the
two to follow) will donate at least $50,000 to their charity. The
runners-up will take away $25,000. Any and all monies will be determined
by how far up the ladder a player goes.

there was no way that he was going to let go of it. It's a good quality
