For his final question, Chang was asked to name the U.S. president before he had electricity in the White House.
After calling a friend – ESPN reporter Meena Kims – Chang speculated to President Benjamin Harrison, even without acknowledging whether Harrison is president.
Hearing the screams, Chang jumped out of his chair as writer and director Alan Yang presented a huge investigation on stage. Chang won.
Khang has always wanted to donate money to the Southern Smoke Foundation, an emergency relief organization for people in the food and beverage industry. If Chang had decided not to answer this question, he would have left with about $ 500,000. Instead, he decided to risk it all in order to double the donation.
“Keeping a million dollars right now is a game changer for many, many families,” Chang said in a video clip of the episode. – But I’m not. ”
“I’m so honored that Dave chose Southern Smoke as his charity,” Shepherd told CNN. “Now more than ever, in many parts of the country, with indoor dining being shut down and temperatures dropping to ban outdoor dining, food and beverage industry workers are desperate.”
Southern Smoke estimates Chang’s donation will help 500 food and beverage workers.
