professional and volunteer interpreters in person and virtually.<\/p>\n In its second season with Jimmy Kimmel as host, “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” has added what it bills as frontline heroes as contestants, fulfilling a desire by producers to give back to those affected by the pandemic.<\/p>\n Each episode will include a frontline hero, including a firefighter, nurse, food truck owner and therapist.<\/p>\n Kimmel’s first season as host, which ran from April 8 to June 4, consisted only of celebrities playing for charities.<\/p>\n Chef David Chang will be tonight’s celebrity contestant, playing for the Southern Smoke Foundation, which provides funding to individuals in the food and beverage industry who are in crisis.<\/p>\n Restaurants owned by Chang include Majordomo, which features noodles, meat and fish dishes in an industrial-chic space in Chinatown.<\/p>\n The episode can be viewed on demand and on Hulu beginning Monday.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Rorri Burton is also the founder of Pro Bono ASL, which bills itself as a diverse group of deaf and hearing, LGBTQ and trilingual American
