FORMAT: Regis Philbin returns to prime time television as host of this modern update of one of television's classic game shows.  Philbin is bringing CBS' MILLION DOLLAR PASSWORD to the 21st century with big celebrities, big money and big stakes. Contestants team up with celebrities and have the potential to win up to $1 million.  As the designated celebrity and contestant take turns being the clue-giver and clue-receiver, one word hints are given to determine that round's PASSWORD. If the player and the celebrity can work together to successfully give and receive clues in multiple rounds, the contestant may be able to guess the MILLION DOLLAR PASSWORD, and win the cash that goes along with it.
