David Chang, First Celebrity To Win $1 Million On 'Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?'

The prize on "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" game show is very elusive, only a few people are able to win the big money. But not for restaurateur and founder of the Momofuku restaurant group, celebrity chef David Chang. 

On Sunday's episode, the rebooted "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?" show host Jimmy Kimmel asked the winning question, saying, "No (celebrity) has ever gone for it. They've all walked away."

The question was who was the first United States president to have electricity in the White House. 

It was a nerve-wracking moment in the studio. The celebrity chef was even heard saying in the episode clip, "This is the most painful, nervous -- this is terrifying." 

He guessed the answer to be Benjamin Harrison after phoning a friend, and the host confirmed he was right. He just won $1 million, and is the first celebrity to win the big prize in the rebooted game show Jimmy Kimmel hosts. 

The celebrity chef is donating the money to the Southern Smoke Foundation, a crisis relief organization for individuals in the food and beverage industry. 

"Having a million dollars right now in this moment, is a game changer for many, many families," David Chang added. "And yes, half a million is as well -- and I want to say 'No, just take the money!' -- but I'm not."

The series of questions he got included food-related questions, such as asking him to say the fictional "clean plate club" for children who eat their entire food, and which U.S. restaurant chain the Japanese people order from when celebrating Christmas -- to which the answer is KFC.

The million-dollar question was: "Although he and his wife never touched a light switch for fear of being shocked, who was the first president to have electricity in the White House?" He was given the choices Ulysses S. Grant, Benjamin Harrison, Chester A. Arthur, and Andrew Johnson.
