Lena Waithe Phones Her Friend Cynthia Erivo - Who Wants To Be A Millionaire

Lena Waithe needs some help with a question about rare weather phenomena, so she uses her Phone-A-Friend Lifeline to reach out to Cynthia Erivo. Watch 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire' on ABC and Hulu, streaming and on demand.

[@fajarsetiawan8665]

ah yesssss......."friend" as people used to say back in the Antiquity era

[@michaelnorris6280]

Or.. ya know, it’s what they call this lifeline every time no matter who they’re calling

[@ShanteRoxxane]

Even if it was your husband or wife, it’s still called “phone a friend”. People have called their brothers/sisters, coworkers, spouses, pretty much anyone on a contacts list.

[@lexi219]

It looks like this aired while she was still married. She probably didn’t want to publicly call Erivo her gf in public.

[@michaelnorris6280]

@@lexi219 No. It’s what they always say when they do these calls. Everyone knew what they were and they weren’t hiding it. I hate this retroactive homophobia that people like to imagine, and it’s like three years ago 😂. Like, that’s not helping people lol. What’s the point of progress of everyone just keeps acting like if years ago was 100 years ago?

[@enkayar718]

Makes me think of Rihanna and her "BFF" Katey Perry. LOL

[@reneemauricesinger]

Shame she couldn’t have asked Michelle Yeoh instead. Weather is Madame Morrible's specialty, after all!

[@Elitegurl100]

Literally feel like Cynthia’s good at everything

[@antmagor]

The clock should not start until after she’s finished telling her the question.

[@scribe712]

I agree.

[@ndo533]

Y would you call cynthia for advice only to completely ignore her advice??? You know how sharp that chick is?? 😂😂

[@asiamonae4483]

That's not just her Friend, that's her partner....

[@clintjefferson4391]

How do you know?

WTH !! Cynthia swings on that vine !! Bwaahahaha !!

[@jagy4186]

Nah because why would you call a friend if you weren’t gonna pick her answer 😂

[@elisaduarte3604]

[@feyrol42]

Very close friends that lived together, never married and never had kids.

Lena did a great job

Her “friend”

[@TheAbuFulaan]

Phone a friend who can go and check on google haha

[@occono3543]

In the UK they sent production crew to PAF houses to check they weren't googling (yes, they thought the lifeline was important enough for the show to do that). I don't know how ABC handled it here during COVID, maybe they had the friends monitored via Zoom or something during the call.

[@pinklemonade6597]

I think they have things in place to prevent that since it would be such an easy way to cheat

[@alemobra5747]

not enough time

[@jayherman1394]

If she doesn't get the Oscar ill.never watch Oscar's again

[@SoulKnightKing]

Um. No golden globe, no BAFTA, no critics choice, no SAG, no prime time emmy. Also her grammy and daytime emmy are in the same performance as her Tony win. She's a tony winner. No one can take that away from her, but she's not as versatile as she is hyped up to be. Let her win an actual nondiscontinued emmy, and a actual grammy not for the Color Purple and then ill give her more credit. But she ain't there yet
