Kelly Osbourne’s Weight Loss Quip Steals the Show on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire

Kelly and Jack Osbourne’s appearance on “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” took an amusing turn during a recent charity episode. The siblings breezed through early questions but hit a snag at the $8,000 mark when faced with a medical query about minoxidil’s side effects.

Originally approved for treating high blood pressure in the 1970s, minoxidil stumped the Osbournes even after using their 50/50 lifeline. Left with two options – “Substantial weight loss” or “Excessive hair growth” – the pair struggled to decide.

It was then that Kelly, 39, made a self-deprecating joke that had the audience in stitches. “I’m telling you, Jack, if it were weight loss I’d know,” she quipped, referencing her well-publicized weight loss journey. The remark prompted laughter from the crowd and a visibly flustered reaction from host Jimmy Kimmel, who covered his face in response.

Kelly’s candid comment about her dramatic weight loss, a topic of public interest in recent years, added levity to the high-stakes game show. It also showcased the Osbourne family’s trademark wit and ability to poke fun at themselves, even under pressure.

The siblings’ appearance on the show was for charity, demonstrating their commitment to philanthropic causes despite the game’s challenges. While the outcome of their “Millionaire” run remains unknown, Kelly’s quick-witted response has already made the episode memorable.

This moment serves as a reminder of the unexpected humor that can arise in game shows, especially with celebrity contestants. As “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire” continues to feature high-profile guests, such instances ensure the show remains both entertaining and unpredictable for viewers.

The Osbournes’ appearance highlights how even tricky questions and tense moments can lead to lighthearted and relatable interactions, keeping audiences engaged and amused.
