- Regis Philbin: [after Jeff Mazurak gets the $8,000 question correct] All right, at this point, we're $7 million- 7 million. Heh.
- [audience laughter]
- Jeff Mazurak: Yeah!
- Regis Philbin: We're not THAT crazy around here. Seven questions away from a million.
- Regis Philbin: Y'know, they tell me in my little briefing of your personality that you, uh, happen to hate Notre Dame.
- [audience awws]
- Steve Kummer: Yeah... it's, uh, friends of mine were hard Notre Dame fans, and I'm a Packer fan and they were Viking fans, so I automatically didn't like Notre Dame.
- Regis Philbin: Excuse me, because they were Packer fans...
- Steve Kummer: I'M a Packer fan.
- Regis Philbin: You're a Packer fan, they like the Vikings, and so you associated that with Notre...
- Steve Kummer: Yeah, I couldn't match up with them on anything, so I had to.
- Regis Philbin: And you expect to WIN here?
- [audience laughter]
- Regis Philbin: I'm kidding. I don't care.
- [pause]
- Regis Philbin: I DO care.
- [audience laughter]
- Steve Kummer: Okay. Sorry.
- Regis Philbin: I want everyone to love Notre Dame, 'cause it's a great place.
- Jeff Mazurak: I told myself if I made $32,000, I was gonna invite you to my wedding, so...
- [audience laughter]
- Jeff Mazurak: you have a formal invitation to come to my wedding at this point. If you can't make it, I understand, but I invited you.
- Regis Philbin: I always wanted to spend a weekend in Syracuse. O-kay!
- [audience laughter]
- Regis Philbin: Just kidding.
