It drove people nuts just waiting from 12PM-3PM EST for Millionaire callbacks, which only had a 2% or less probability of happening.

I'll vouch for that...in all the times I qualified during the phone game era, I NEVER got a single callback.

Heck, that was just the call to qualify for the second phone game. Ben's \"Call\" was the one telling him to make plans for Culver City. (Of course, that didn't lessen the anxiety for me on the two dozen or so times I qualified, telling my phone clients that I was chained to my cubicle for those three hours (9AM - noon here on the West Coast), and forgoing my usual chain-caffeinated-diet-soda-drinking ways so I wouldn't need to go to the restroom.)
All I can add for Pyramid80's friend is a reminder to keep track of what question you're on, especially if you're stumped on one and can't even hazard a guess. (I really think I would have at least made the mock game of my second J! tryout, but the Third Tenor, Jose Carreras, had other plans. I don't know for certain (you are not told how well / poorly you did except whether or not you passed) but I think I started placing answers on the wrong lines after leaving the line where Jose's name should have gone blank.)
Esoteric Eric, still waiting for \"The Call\" from \"Classic Concentration\", even though it ceased production shortly after my June 1991 audition
Bonus Esoterica... my first tryout for J! was also in 1991, @ Studio 1 on the KTLA lot; the set had been struck except for the skeleton of the board and the answer monitors, presumably since they were moving to Hollywood Center Studios for the '91-'92 season. The second one was here in Seattle. -EE

Last year, they told us that they'd correct for obviously skipped answers. Load off a number of people's minds.
