About Meredith Vieira, What Millionaire Fans Want to Know

Meredith Vieira is the star of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. But is she as stellar in person as she appears on TV? Inquiring minds want to know. Below are the most common questions I get about her.

Is she really that nice in person?
This is a big "yes." She was incredibly nice, and not just when the cameras were rolling. During our first commercial break, she leaned close to me and said with a real, genuine smile, "So I hear you have a little boy? Did you bring him with you to New York?" She has a real knack for putting people at ease.

Is she really that cute in person?
Well, I'm no guy. But if I were, sure, I'd ask her out in a heartbeat. Personally, I thought she was even prettier in person, because the warmth of her personality was even more obvious face-to-face.

Does she have the answers to those Millionaire questions?
Nope. Like everyone else at the taping, she might have a guess, but she isn't given the answers beforehand. The correct answer isn't revealed – even to her – until after the contestant gives their "final answer."
