Hubert Urbański, host of teh Polish game show “Millionaires,” mistakenly provided incorrect advice to a contestant during a recent episode, leading to a significant loss and sparking online commentary. The incident occurred on November 22, 2023, during a question worth 30,000 PLN (approximately $7,300 USD).
The contestant, identified onyl as Anna P., was posed with a question about a historical event. Uncertain of the answer, she sought guidance from Urbański, utilizing the “ask the audience” lifeline. Despite a majority of the audience favoring a different response, Urbański suggested Anna choose an option answer, stating, “honestly, I think it’s a bummer.” Anna followed his advice, selecting the incorrect option and losing the substantial sum.
The misstep quickly gained traction on social media, with viewers criticizing Urbański’s intervention and questioning his judgment. While Urbański is a well-known television personality in Poland, this incident has prompted discussion about the role of the host in influencing contestants and the potential consequences of inaccurate guidance. The show’s producers have not yet issued a statement regarding the matter, but the event continues to generate conversation among fans of “Millionaires” and broader audiences interested in television game show dynamics.
