So, even if you had a million dollars (or more accurately, the $400,000 he keeps) would you take twice your salary to answer questions for half a day tomorrow?

Yeah but after you win so many in a row it's only natural to try things you "normally" wouldn't.

He's more inclined to take bigger risks/reward knowing there's 1+ million in the bank.

That's without counting the fame quotient. I'm sure he's going to be making the rounds on the talk show circut and there's probably a book and other game show appearances in the works.
