Which of the following actors has not played Al Capone in a feature film? '50:50' lifeline used
⬥ A: Jason Robards
⬥ B: Robert De Niro
⬥ C: Al Pacino
⬥ D: Rod Steiger
Stan: "A: Jason Robards."
Regis: "Confident?"
Stan: "No."
He has it narrowed down to A & C. He thinks it's A because Pacino was in the movie Scarface, which was Capone's nickname. Since he's not confident, he uses the 50:50, and it of course leaves A & C. After thinking it over, Stan changes his answer, locks in C, and wins $32,000.
ADDITIONAL INFO: Al Pacino might've been in a movie called Scarface, but as fans of the film know, he didn't play Al Capone.

Which of these fast food restaurant chains is named for its founder?
⬥ A: White Castle
⬥ B: Wendy's
⬥ C: Taco Bell
⬥ D: Burger King
Stan eliminates Wendy's right away.
"I don't believe there's a Mr. Taco," he then says.
He leans towards White Castle, and doesn't want to use his Phone-a-Friend since they're all on the west coast, and White Castle is an east coast chain.
Stan: "You know Ronald McDonald's number?"
He decides to gamble on White Castle and makes A his final answer, and while there may not be a Mr. Taco, there was a Glen Bell, who founded Taco Bell in 1962, thus, making C the correct answer, so Stan wins $32,000.
Total Prize Money: $32,000
Trivia[]
Ironically, Stan was the second contestant in a row to miss a question about fast food. Christy Flynn, the contestant who preceded Stan on the October 19, 2000 show, gave an incorrect response to her $16,000 question which asked her to identify the name of the school where McDonald's managers receive their training (Hamburger University).
