Larry David and his daughter Cazzie made game show history as the first father-daughter duo on Celebrity Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? But their big moment took a turn when they decided to phone a friend. They called actor Jon Hamm, hoping his brainpower would save them on a $64,000 question about 18th-century Indian trade. Instead, Hamm confidently gave them the wrong answer.
The pair still walked away with $32,000 for charity, but the loss stung. To make things even more entertaining, Larry David later admitted he’d never eaten sugary cereal or even heard of Lucky Charms marshmallows. He thought the marshmallows were just colorful pieces. It’s a reminder that even the most successful people have blind spots. You can watch the full episode on Hulu if you want to see the trainwreck for yourself.
What’s the funniest bad advice a friend has ever given you? We’d love to hear your stories in the comments.
