Wednesday night, Kelly Osbourne, 39, and her brother Jack Osbourne, 38, competed as a team for up to $1 million in donations.
Along with her TV-famous Brit brother, the TV personality who dropped 85 pounds grabbed the hot seat with host Jimmy Kimmel.
Kelly Osbourne’s and Jack’s Million Dollar Challenge Ends Early
Until the $8000 question, the brother-sister team had it simple.
It said, “Approved in the 1970s to treat high blood pressure, the drug minoxidil was repurposed after many patients who took it experienced what side effect?”
With their 50/50 lifeline left, the sibs reported D: “Excessive hair growth,” C: “Substantial weight loss.”
Still trapped, they started fighting among themselves.
Kelly Osbourne said sharply, “I’m telling you, Jack Osbourne, if it were weight loss we’d know.”
The audience giggled, as Jimmy Kimmel covered his face nervously.
Kelly Osbourne cried, “We don’t know the answer!” and they sought another lifeline.
They followed “D” since, according to “Ask the Audience,” 64 percent of respondents said D.
Unfortunately, the pair struggled on the $64000 question and ran out of all lifelines, therefore walking away with $32,000 – the least of any celebrity pair this season.
Jack Osbourne mentioned he was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis in 2012, therefore they upped the revenues for Race to Erase MS.
Celebrating its 25th anniversary, Jimmy leads the weekly game show revival featuring two pairs of celebrities in each episode.
The new season debuted on July 10, and ABC airs fresh episodes Wednesday at 8 p.m. ET.
Kelly Osbourne’s Development
Black Sabbath rocker Ozzy and Sharon, 71, are the parents of the Osbourne sibs.
Kelly Osbourne has looked unrecognizable in recent months and has stunned her fans with her new figure and haircut.
Kelly has closed down claims she is on the drug while her mom Sharon has freely embraced her 42-pound weight loss via Ozempic.
“I know everyone thinks I took Ozempic,” Kelly said lately to Extra.
Ozempic is not something I took. Where that originated from is unknown. Ozempic was taken by my mother.
Kelly Osbourne has maintained that by cutting down on sweets and carbohydrates, she dropped her post-baby weight. 2018 saw her have stomach sleeve surgery as well.
After “rapid weight loss,” she also credits other non-surgical approaches such as EmSculot – a body and face non-surgical therapy to “tighten loose skin.”

FAMILY MATTERS
Beginning in 2002, the brother and sister became well-known worldwide as teenagers on the venerable, provocative reality show The Osbournes.
MTV history marks the first season of the fly-on-the-wall peek at the foul-mouthed family as top ratings.
Aimee, the third sister of the Osbournes, is not very well-known among fans since she turned down to participate in the show.
Now, the family listens to podcasts together under quite a logical name, The Osbournes.
Kelly is a mother herself now, meanwhile.
At the end of 2022, she welcomed her first child—son Sid—along with her Slipknot rock band partner Sid Wilson.
Jack Osbourne is also a dad; he married Lisa Stelly in 2012, and together they have three daughters: Pearl, Andy, and Minnie.
2019 saw their divorce; in September 2023 he married one more.
Together, he and his newlywed Aree Gearheart have one daughter, Minnie.
“BRING BACK THE DRAMA”
Since 2020, Kimmel has helmed Millionaire: Celebrity Edition, although many of his followers object to the new direction.
With the show split in half, two pairs of celebrities take to the hot seat for charity each episode.
Many have debated on X that concentrating on celebs instead of average Joe candidates lowers stakes and runs against the idea of the show.
Others have dubbed the reboot “sloppy” and its approach “compressed.”
“So much of the show is sloppy and, honestly, bad,” one X user recently objected.
“Building is difficult. Typos abound in questions. The pacing is awful. Editing is quite difficult. There is not much sound design. Feels hurried and without space to breathe. Two games an hour takes all the drama out. How it descended into this is perplexing.
Another X user responded, “One major problem is the dearth of consistent non-celebrity contenders. Bring back the real-life drama and narratives with transforming power.
“It feels as though it is crushed. A third said, “They won’t even let Jimmy chat to the contestants a little coming back from break.”
The first few episodes of the current season have had their moments; the season garners high ratings.
John Mulaney and Nick Kroll went viral in the Season 3 opener after missing an “easy” Succession question.
By answering a challenging geography question without utilizing lifelines, Parent Trap’s Lisa Ann Walter astounded viewers by winning $250,000.
NOT “PPopular ANY MORE”
Jimmy’s first time hosting with a studio audience marks Season 3 of the Millionaire revival.
The first two seasons of the once-number-one-rated show were filmed during COVID-19.
When Kimmel started this season, he admitted the show isn’t as “popular” as it once was.
“This show went on the air in the summer of 1999 hosted by the late great Regis Philbin,” he reminded the audience.
“It was the most popular show in the world by far, and today I’m the host and it’s not anymore.”
Still here, though, are us. Welcome! Due to the pandemic, we did two seasons without an audience; I have never hosted a show with one.
When Millennium Was Good
Originally airing on ABC in 1999, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire immediately went mega-smash.
The show, which Regis Philbin presented, became so popular that it was commissioned as a regular series immediately.
Nine smart alecs had won the main prize by 2002; three more throughout its syndicated run as the audience declined.
The first winner was John Carpenter, who famously utilized the phone-a-friend lifeline to telephone his dad informing him he was about to win the million.
From 2002 to 2014 Meredith Vieira hosted; Terry Crews, Cedric The Entertainer, and Chris Harrison have also periodically guest presented.
ABC put Millionaire’s current celebrity edition on an indefinite pause in 2022; now it’s back blemishes.
