Jillian Bell and Chloe Fineman are gearing up to take on the iconic hot seat as a new season of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire launches July 23 on ABC, with episodes available to stream the next day on Hulu. Bell, known for her sharp comedic chops and breakout roles in Bridesmaids and Saturday Night Live sketches, teamed up with Fineman—an SNL cast member celebrated for her spot-on impressions—in an Instagram post announcing their game-show debut. “A new season of #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire premieres July 23rd and Chloe Fineman and I are taking on the hot seat – Wish us luck! Don’t miss it on ABC and stream on Hulu!” Bell captioned the image of the duo seated side by side under studio lights.
Bell & Fineman’s Hot Seat Debut
Their appearance marks the first time Bell and Fineman share a television quiz platform. The two comic forces met off-screen while collaborating on Hulu’s Summer of 69, Bell’s directorial debut that premiered at SXSW earlier this year. In that film, Fineman plays one of two sisters navigating the wild rites of passage in 1969—an instantly viral premise that catapulted views when it hit Hulu’s top spot shortly after release. Now, they pivot from scripted sisterhood to rapid-fire trivia, hoping to turn their pop-culture savvy into a six-figure win.
Both Bell and Fineman bring unique strengths to the game. Bell’s background spans improvisational training at The Groundlings, writing credits for shows like Eastbound & Down and 30 Rock, and appearances in blockbusters such as The Invention of Lying. Fineman, a former cast member on Saturday Night Live and an alum of The Groundlings like Bell, has garnered acclaim for her versatile impersonations—from drawing-room comedy sketches to film roles in Barbie and Palm Springs. Together, they form a powerhouse pairing of quick wit and pop-culture know-how.
Bell’s Recent Projects Boost Trivia Buzz
Beyond Millionaire, Bell has been on a creative roll. Her feature directorial debut, Summer of 69, co-written with her sister Breanna, earned positive reviews for its fresh take on coming-of-age comedies. Instagram highlights from collaborators underscore Bell’s multifaceted talent: one post pays tribute to her as director, while another celebrates the film hitting #1 on Hulu. Bell’s move from actress to director has been swift—and now she’s testing her trivia mettle on live television.
For Fineman, the Millionaire appearance follows high-profile cameos in films and commercial endorsements. She’s maintained an active social-media presence, teasing fans with behind-the-scenes snaps from the Millionaire set, complete with shot glasses and cue cards. Her loyal following on Instagram has rallied around the duo’s challenge, flooding comment threads with good-luck emojis and predictions on who might walk away with the jackpot.
Fans can tune in live on ABC at 8 p.m. ET/PT starting July 23, or catch each episode next day via Hulu’s on-demand library. Viewers eager for extra content can revisit Bell and Fineman’s dynamic chemistry in Summer of 69, now streaming on Hulu, and follow @millionairetv for real-time updates and bonus clips from the hot seat.
With two of comedy’s brightest talents facing Ken Jennings’s record-breaking question bank, this season promises both nostalgia and surprises. Whether they’ll convert one-liners into one-million-dollar answers remains to be seen—one thing is certain: this summer’s trivia thrills just got a major upgrade.
