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 coronavirus pandemic.

Each episode will include a “frontline hero.” They have included a firefighter, nurse, food truck owner and American Sign Language interpreter.

Kimmel's first season as host, which ran from April 8 to June 4, consisted only of celebrities playing for charities.

The episode can be viewed on demand and on Hulu beginning Monday.
