SAN RAMON, CA — A San Ramon Regional Medical Center nurse won big on ABC's "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire." DeShae Alcorn sat in the hot seat across from host Jimmy Kimmel and reached a prize of $32,000 with a little help from her dad, who sat a short distance away. Alcorn appeared on the game show on the March 7 episode of this season, along with a slew of frontline workers and celebrity contestants raising money for charity, said hospital spokesperson Krista Deans in an email. Alcorn is a registered nurse who holds a bachelor's degree in nursing and works in the hospital's intensive care unit. And as it turns out, she's got a knack for trivia, too. She secured the $16,000 prize after successfully guessing which country's capital city had a name including all five vowels. Buenos Aires, Argentina, in case you were wondering. See if you can guess the answer that led Alcorn to her $32,000 prize: "An old school guy with an old school vocabulary, Joe Biden had which of these phrases painted across his 2020 campaign tour bus?" A. "No Poppycock!" B. "No Hokum!" C. "No Claptrap!" D. "No Malarkey!" Not sure? Don't worry — Alcorn had to make her best guess, too. But luck for her, it turned out to be the right one!
