Celebrities from “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” struggle to identify the Detroit Lions’ famous Honolulu blue

Everyone knows that the Detroit Lions wear Honolulu blue, right?

Incorrect?

On Wednesday night, the celebrity edition of ABC’s “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” proved otherwise. Rosie O’Donnell and Lisa Ann Walter had to struggle to choose the $64,000 questions for the NFL team known for its Honolulu blue jerseys nearly 4,500 miles from Hawaii.

Possible answers were:

• a) The Detroit Lions.

• b) the Miami Dolphins.

• c) the Dallas Cowboys.

• d) the Seattle Seahawks.

They were about to pick the Cowboys after Walters estimated the distance from Dallas to Hawaii and figured Detroit was probably even farther away. But just before the answer was decided, the “Abbott Elementary” star hesitated and decided to call her phone friend Autumn Chiklis, the daughter of her good friend, actor Michael Chiklis.

Time was almost up for the call before Chiklis chose the Lions, saving the day for O’Donnell and Walter, who raised $250,000 for their charities before being eliminated.

“Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” is hosted by Jimmy Kimmel and airs Wednesdays at 8 p.m. on ABC.
