The popular game show "Who Wants to be a Millionaire" is featuring celebrities this season and the most recent episode featured Rosie O'Donnell and Lisa Ann Walter, who were faced with a question that the Detroit Lions were the answer to.
According to Edward Pevos of MLive.com, for the $64,000 question, the ladies were asked, "Despite being approximately 4,475 miles away from the Hawaiian capital, what NFL team wears a shade of blue officially called 'Honolulu blue?'”

Along with the Lions, which fans know is the correct answer, the other options were the Miami Dolphins, Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks. O'Donnell and Walter almost settled on the Cowboys before deciding to use the "Phone a Friend" lifeline.
The "Phone a Friend" was actor Michael Chiklis' daughter, Autumn, who ended up steering O'Donnell and Walter in the right direction.
“My dad was a football freak," she said. "Lions. I’m pretty sure it’s the Lions."
O'Donnell decided to go with Autumn's answer and, of course, it was the right one, which propelled the pair to ultimately get to the $500,000 question before calling it quits and earning $250,000 for charity.
This is the second time in recent memory that the Lions have been mentioned in a popular game show. Back in June, a Lions fan named Darrell made it to the stage for a game before landing in the "Showcase Showdown" later on, all the while rocking an awesome shirt that read "I liked the Lions before it was cool."
