This article is about the Do Not Call Registry in the United States. For similar lists in other countries, see Do not call list.
The National Do Not Call Registry is a database maintained by the United States federal government, listing the telephone numbers of individuals and families who have requested that telemarketers not contact them.[1] Certain callers are required by federal law to respect this request. Separate laws and regulations apply to robocalls in the United States.

Implementation Act[edit]
On June 27, 2003, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) opened the National Do Not Call Registry in order to comply with the Do-Not-Call Implementation Act of 2003 (Pub.L. 108–10, was H.R. 395, and codified at 15 U.S.C. § 6101 et. seq.), sponsored by Representatives Billy Tauzin and John Dingell and signed into law by President George W. Bush on March 11, 2003. The law established the FTC's National Do Not Call Registry in order to facilitate compliance with the Telephone Consumer Protection Act of 1991.
Registration for the Do-Not-Call list began on June 27, 2003, and enforcement started on October 1, 2003. Since January 1, 2005, telemarketers covered by the registry have up to 31 days (initially the period was 90 days) from the date a number is registered to cease calling that number. Originally, phone numbers remained on the registry for a period of five years, but are now permanent because of the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007, effective February 2008.[2]
Consumers may add landline or cellular numbers to the registry,[3] but FCC regulations prohibit telemarketers from calling a cellular phone number with an automatic dialer under almost all circumstances.[3][4] In 2005, a rumor began circulating via e-mail that cell phone providers were planning on making their number directories available to telemarketers. The FTC responded by clarifying that cell phones cannot be called by telemarketers.[5] Similarly, fax numbers do not need to be included in the registry due to existing federal laws and regulations that prohibit the sending of unsolicited faxes.
If a person does not want to register a number on the national registry, they can still prohibit individual telemarketers from calling by asking the caller to put the called number on the company’s do-not-call list.
Legal challenges[edit]
The do-not-call list was slated to take effect on October 1, 2003, but two federal district court decisions almost delayed it. One from Oklahoma was overcome by special legislation giving the FTC specific jurisdiction over the matter. The other from Colorado revolved around questions of regulation of commercial speech and threatened to delay implementation of the list. However, President Bush signed a bill authorizing the no-call list to go ahead in September 2003. Finally, the United States Court of Appeals for the Tenth Circuit on February 17, 2004, upheld the constitutionality of the law.[6]
Exceptions to the do-not-call rule[edit]
Exceptions[edit]
Placing one's number on the National Do Not Call Registry will stop some, but not all, unsolicited calls. The following are exceptions granted by existing laws and regulations—and these types of organizations can register with donotcall.gov and can purchase telephone lists from the Do Not Call Registry[7]
The registry only applies to personal calls, not to business lines or business to business calls.[8]
A person may still receive calls from political organizations.
The organization Citizens for Civil Discourse has lobbied Congress to close this exception by developing a National Political Do Not Call Registry where voters can register their phone numbers and ask politicians to take the "Do Not Contact Pledge". Its database is not backed by the force of law and as of November 2008, only 3 politicians running for office signed the pledge.[9]
A person may still receive calls from not-for-profit organizations.[10]
A person may still receive calls from those conducting surveys.
A person may still receive calls from a company up to 31 days[11] after submitting an application or inquiry to that company, unless the company is specifically asked not to call.
A person may still receive calls from bill collectors (either primary creditors or collection agencies). These callers are, however, regulated by other laws, such as the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, which limits them to calling during "reasonable hours". Some creditors may not call debtors who file for bankruptcy protection.
Loopholes[edit]
Some attempts have been made by telemarketers to skirt the do-not-call list rules. An example is the Dove Foundation, which places "survey" calls and then requests permission for a follow-up call. The follow-up call is conducted by a for-profit company attempting to sell products. This operation resulted in a restraining order in Missouri in March 2006.[12]
Enforcement[edit]
Complaints concerning telemarketing calls to homes and personal cell phones can be made to the U.S. Federal Communications Commission[13] and the Federal Trade Commission.[14]
The Federal Communications Commission has created rules implementing the National Do-Not-Call Implementation Act. These rules are codified at the Code of Federal Regulations, title 47, Section 64.1200.[15] The rules should be consulted in order to determine whether a particular incident violated the rules and can result in enforcement.
In order to create an actionable complaint pursuant to FCC rules, an individual with a home phone or a personal cell phone is required to specify details of the infraction to the FCC. Typically this includes facts such as when the call occurred, the phone number called, the calling organization, the goods or services being marketed, whether the caller has any exemption status. Details of these rules can be found on the FCC's complaint form.[13]
Many journalists and victims of fraudulent calls and Do-Not-Call violations have extensively documented ongoing and widespread inaction and lack of enforcement by the FTC.[16]
In May 2014 Sprint Corporation was fined a record $7.5 million for failing to honor requests by consumers to opt out of receiving telemarketing calls and texts. The fine followed an investigation that had begun in 2012. "We expect companies to respect the privacy of consumers who have opted out of marketing calls," Travis LeBlanc, acting chief of the FCC's enforcement bureau, said at the time. "When a consumer tells a company to stop calling or texting with promotional pitches, that request must be honored. Today's settlement leaves no question that protecting consumer privacy is a top enforcement priority."[17]
Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007[edit]
On February 15, 2008, U.S. President George W. Bush signed H.R. 3541 into law as Pub.L. 110–187, the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act of 2007. Two major changes were enacted through this law:
While originally required to renew their phone numbers every five years, consumers need now only register once to maintain their phone numbers on the Do Not Call Registry.
The frequency with which the FTC must purge the registry of disconnected and reassigned numbers has also been increased to several times a month. However, the Do-Not-Call Improvement Act prohibits removing numbers from the do-not-call registry unless the number is invalid, disconnected, reassigned, or the individual to whom the number is assigned so requests.[18]
Results[edit]
According to the 2009 Economic Report of the President, prepared by the Council of Economic Advisers,
The program has proved quite popular: as of 2007, according to one survey, 72 percent of Americans had registered on the list, and 77 percent of those say that it made a large difference in the number of telemarketing calls that they receive (another 14 percent report a small reduction in calls). Another survey, conducted less than a year after the Do Not Call list was implemented, found that people who registered for the list saw a reduction in telemarketing calls from an average of 30 calls per month to an average of 6 per month.[19]

Tabloid talk show host Jerry Springer succeeded Regis Philbin as host.[1] Piers Morgan and David Hasselhoff returned as judges, joined by newcomer Sharon Osbourne.[2] Brandy Norwood voluntarily stepped down as judge after a wrongful death lawsuit was brought against her for her involvement in a fatal car collision.[3][4]
The second season of the show was originally announced to debut in January 2007,[5] with a timeslot of Sunday nights at 8 p.m.; however, the network substituted another reality talent show, Grease: You're The One That I Want. This season's winner was a ventriloquist and impressionist Terry Fator.

Selection process[edit]
Overview[edit]
The audition process for the second season is very similar to that of the first, except that only a buzzer sounds when the X is pressed. When all the judges X's have been pressed, a lonely blue spotlight centers on the act, indicating they've been struck out. Unlike the previous season, the acts who pass the auditions then attend a Las Vegas boot camp, where they have a chance to perfect their craft. At this point, acts are divided into two groups, music, and variety. The music acts consist of singers and instrument players. The variety group consists of other acts. The music acts perform first, followed by the variety acts. Each act will perform for three minutes, and their performance will not be terminated, as the judges have no buttons to press. After each group has finished, the judges will split the groups into lines, either a yes line, or a no line. The ones who the judges said yes to will go to the short list of 35 acts. The acts which the judges have said no to will go home. After that, the judges will cut the short list of 35 to 20 final acts.
In the semi-final episodes, the 20 acts will be first split into two groups of 10. America will vote and eliminate five out of the first group, then five out of the second. The remaining 10 will perform head to head in the next round, where the field will be narrowed each week until there are four, which the viewing audience at home votes on. In the second season, the judges may terminate a performance any time they want with an X. The checks are eliminated from the game and the judges may only have comments. There is no judges' choice in this season, as the voting is entirely handed over to the viewers.
Differences from Season 1[edit]
Jerry Springer replaced Regis Philbin as host in Season 2.
Sharon Osbourne replaced Brandy as a judge from Season 1.
Unlike in season 1, where the acts were divided into four groups after the audition and sent straight to the semifinals, the acts were sent to Las Vegas for a boot camp, where they could perfect their skills. In Las Vegas, the acts were divided into two groups, "music" and "variety". The judges chose 35 acts from both groups to make it to their short list; afterward (with no additional performances after the first division of talent), the judges chose twenty acts to move on to the semifinals.
In the season 1 semifinals, within each group of 14 or 15 acts, only 10 would perform. In Season 2, the 20 remaining acts were divided into 2 groups of 10. America eliminated 5 from each group. The remaining 10 competed head to head, with some eliminated each week.
There are no more "judges' choice" and white check marks to signify approval. The judges may still press their X's anytime during the performance, but this rarely happens, as only Morgan used his button in the Season 2 semifinals (although Hasselhoff buzzed Luigi Padilla as Boy Britney after his semifinal performance, seemingly in jest).
Preliminary auditions[edit]
Dallas auditions[edit]
Aired June 5, 2007, 2 hours.[6]
Acts that were eliminated include:
Tony La Brea, took off his robe and sang shirtless, wearing a collar, tie and cuffs. Before his performance, the judges noted that his voice was similar to that of Barry White. However, once he took off his shirt, the judges eventually got him X'd out. The song he sang was "Don't Cha" by The Pussycat Dolls.
Adam Aaron Michaels, Elvis Presley impersonator, was eliminated by all three judges as soon as he came out. He was then given another chance but was eliminated again after singing the first line of "Release Me". David commented that they were granting his wish by "releasing him."
Erica Marks, 12-year-old singer who sang Jennifer Holliday's "And I'm Telling You I'm Not Going." Morgan said she was trying to copy the style of last year's winner, Bianca Ryan, singing the same song.
Mr. Bill, bus driver, sang "Climb Every Mountain" from The Sound of Music. At the end of his performance, Morgan noted that if the show were judged on personality, he would win the competition.
Human Slinky, a male acrobat covered with large colored coils for appendages. David made a reference to a dancing colon on stage.
Ari Marks, violinist. Her husband Nicholas Marks competed separately this season and continued to the next round. They auditioned as a duo in season 1.
Breeze, 9 years old, performed a competitive cheerleading routine. All three judges hit their buzzers, and Morgan said her mother must have pushed her into performing. Springer escorted her mother on stage and said, "She's not on trial here". In response to Morgan's comments, Osbourne said that she was leaving the show as she left the auditorium and returned to her dressing room. Morgan followed her and talked through her dressing room door. When they heard that the contestant was still waiting on stage, they returned to the judges' desk and apologized to her.
Sam Adu, sang "I Wish" by Stevie Wonder.
"Bronzon Gold" (Tom Zemke), disco dancer. He told the judges that his dance was a combination of old and new dance moves, but Osbourne mentioned that she had seen all of the moves he performed.
Bob Moore and his Amazing Mongrels, performed tricks with a dozen dogs he rescued from the pound. Piers pointed out that of the dozen, only two of the dogs actually did anything.
David and Joel Letterman "The Pec Brothers" , tightened their pectoral muscles to the tune of "Dueling Banjos". The judges were laughing, but they eventually X'd them out.
Brandon Pereyda, aerialist. He won over the audience, but the judges decided that his act was sketchy and unprofessional and asked him to keep practicing.
Hollywood Steppers. Ronnie H Jackson & Jon Da Con. This step team from Ft. Worth rose to the top 35. The electrified the crowd with there moves with their feet. They performed tricks while stepping; the first team ever to do so. They tried to come back the following year but failed when all crashed on stage.
L.A. auditions[edit]
Aired June 12, 2007, 2 hours[7]
Acts that were eliminated include:
Laticia Widman, sang Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" with her mouth closed.
Normandie Manchester, drag queen who danced to "Mickey" by Toni Basil.
Tammie Brown, drag queen, later a contestant on the first season of RuPaul's Drag Race
Galadin, male belly dancer
Maximilliana, a male impressionist. She sang like a male and she frightened the judges. She got X'ed out by the judges.
Tika Rainn, a Valley Girl rapper with 2 backup singers. She is also known as Sweetie from the first season of Flavor of Love. After the judges didn't vote her back, she mooned them, the pixelization showed she was wearing no underwear under her skirt.
Jason and Nolan, twin violinists
Fred Grzybowski, pogo stick acrobat
Hanne Frederick, singer
Chicago auditions[edit]
Aired June 19, 2007, 2 hours[8]
Acts that were eliminated include:
Consuelo Campbell, sang in the style of gospel, opera, religious, and blues.
Francisse Elaine, 10 years old, sang Kelly Clarkson's "A Moment Like This". The judges all agreed that she would be much better in a few years.
Jon England, a pianist from, as his last name suggests, England, and dressed in red, white and blue. He failed to impress the judges, particularly Piers.
Mr. Heart & Soul, a mime that was criticized for talking and singing throughout his performance. Morgan reacted: "You have an appalling singing voice, so if I were you, I would just keep quiet."
Charlie the Whistler (Charlie King), played banjo and showed off several styles of Tuvan throat singing.
Serpentia, a dance group that carried boa constrictors.
L.A. Penetrate, a rock band.
Coolaid the Clown, a youth center's hip-hop dance troupe. Although Hasselhoff opted to put them through, Osbourne and Morgan voted not to.
Hot Pink Feathers, a cabaret burlesque dance group, led by the Latin inspired director, Kellita Tabouli of San Francisco.
Alex Mooney, who broke or bent small objects such as a ruler and spoon by squeezing them between his buttocks. The judges generally thought his act to be ridiculous.
New York auditions[edit]
Aired June 26, 2007, 2 hours[9]
Acts that were eliminated include:
Sexy Techno Boy, from Astoria, New York - Techno Music Producer from NYC. He sang original track "Beat Conductor" while dancing.
S. K. Thoth - A self-proclaimed "prayer-formance artist" - violin, chanting, dancing. The chant was in a language that Thoth invented.
Ricardo Aleman - standup comedian who insulted Hasselhoff and Morgan after being refused to the Las Vegas callbacks.
Pennsylvania Hand Band - made music by squeezing their hands together, with one band member performing in a giant hand costume.
Abenz, rapper. He originally performed with Byrain Wynbush as his background singer, but the judges said no to Abenz alone and invited Wynbush to come back later for a solo audition.

Shad-Dai - singing twin sisters.
Jay Green - juggler.

Part 2 of the Las Vegas callbacks was broadcast on July 11, 2007. The short list of 35 acts was then reduced to a Top 20 to be voted on by the viewing audience.[11]
Acts that were eliminated during the callbacks included:
Ada Lynn
Chicago auditions: 80-year-old singer/comedian.[8]
Las Vegas Callbacks (Part 1): Performance was not televised.
Bruce Block & Skippy à la King

Las Vegas Callbacks (Part 1): Originally planned to have a lady dance on him while he lay on a bed of nails. After his assistant cancelled at the last minute, he regrouped and performed a "pulling a rabbi out of a hat" trick (played by Anthony Salazar), but actually made his head vanish.[10]
Byrain Wynbush
New York auditions: The Roxbury, Massachusetts, resident started the day as backup singer to rapper Abenz, who was eliminated. Wynbush, however, was invited by the judges to audition on his own. He returned to sing "Treat Her Like a Lady" with little preparation time and was passed through by the judges.[9]
Las Vegas Callbacks (Part 1): Sang "Superstar".[10]
Christian Atayde Stoinev

New York auditions: A knife throwing act performed by a reverend and his assistant.[9]
Las Vegas Callbacks (Part 1): Only shown briefly in a montage. One of his knives did not stick in the backboard (as was the case in his New York audition), and the judges were unimpressed that the act was essentially the same as the first time.[10]
Ivan the "Urban Action Figure"
L.A. auditions: acrobatic dancing.[7]
Las Vegas Callbacks (Part 1): Attempted to jump a series of chairs, but tripped and crashed to the floor, knocking himself out. After a bit of time and medical attention, he got back up, dazed but otherwise apparently OK. He was taken to the hospital as a precaution.[10]

Lifelines[edit]
Three lifelines were presented at the beginning of the game in order to aid contestants:
50/50: The computer eliminates two random wrong options, leaving the right option and the other remaining wrong option.
Phone a Friend: The contestant calls one of their five prearranged friends, who provided their phone numbers in advance. The contestant has 30 seconds to read the question and four possible options to the friend, who then has the remaining time to offer input.
Ask the Audience: Audience members use touch pads to designate what they believe the correct option to be. The percentage of the audience choosing each specific option is displayed to the contestant.
Top prize winners[edit]
Chimuanya Aroma Ufodike - 10 million Naira (Year 2009)
Osazuwa Osahon Daniels - 5 million Naira (Year 2009)
Babatunde Oni Oladipo - 5 million Naira (Year 2010)
Nnaemeka Ubaekwena - 5 million Naira (Year 2012)
Winifred E. Karieren - 5 million Naira [First female to win 5 million] (Year 2012)
Sammy Abraham - 5 million Naira (Year 2013)
Olalowo Olatokun - 5 million Naira (Year 2014)
Final question right[edit]
On September 11, 2009, a contestant called Aroma Ufodike became the first person to win the ₦10,000,000, and currently[when?], he is the only one who won the top prize of this game show.[1][2] One of the questions related to celebrated Nigerian football referee Linus Mbah. Just like in Slumdog Millionaire Mr. Ufodike was able to answer the question from his personal experience. Ironically Mr. Mbah lived in the apartment above him or, as Mr. Ufodike put it - "He lives on top of me!"[3]
Special editions[edit]
The Nigerian variation of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire has special editions which are recorded and broadcast at certain times of the year. The Valentine Special, which comes up around February, features couples being placed on the hot seat to answer questions for the money prize together. The Children Special edition is used to commemorate the Children’s Day celebrations. It has featured children between the ages of 8-14 years of age from different backgrounds who came to play for 10 Million Naira in scholarships.[4]

"For the Love of Money" is a soul/funk song that was written and composed by Kenneth Gamble, Leon Huff, and Anthony Jackson; it was recorded by Philadelphia soul group The O'Jays for the album Ship Ahoy. Produced by Gamble and Huff for Philadelphia International Records, "For the Love of Money" was issued as a single in late 1973 (see 1973 in music), with "People Keep Tellin' Me" as its b-side. The single peaked at number three on the U.S. Billboard R&B chart, and at No. 9 on Billboard's Pop Singles chart in spring 1974. Though the album version of the song was over seven minutes long, it received substantial radio airplay. The song's title comes from a well-known Bible verse, 1 Timothy 6:10: "For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows." (This translation is from the King James Version of the Bible.)

Production[edit]
Anthony Jackson played bass guitar on the song. One day during fall 1973, producer/keyboardist Leon Huff was leading the members of the MFSB rhythm section and Jackson through a rehearsal. Sigma Sound Studios owner/engineer Joe Tarsia noticed that Jackson had a wah-wah pedal attached to his Fender Precision Bass. Tarsia decided to run Jackson's bassline through a phaser, giving it a swishing sound and later mixed in echo. During the final mixing of the track, Kenny Gamble impulsively reached over to the echo button and added echo to Jackson's opening riffs.[citation needed]

It has also been sampled by Marky Mark and the Funky Bunch's single "I Need Money" and Charli Baltimore's single "Money."

In popular culture[edit]
Stand-up comedian Sinbad had the song briefly play in the background at one point during his 1993 television special Afros and Bellbottoms, while he changed into a different pair of shoes to illustrate a point about how people typically walked in the 1970s.[citation needed]
The song was featured at the beginning of the 1997 comedy film For Richer or Poorer.
Beginning in 2004, the song was used as the theme to the reality television show The Apprentice, with Donald Trump, and later as the theme to The Celebrity Apprentice, and also some international versions of the show, such as the Brazilian version of The Apprentice, called O Aprendiz, hosted by Roberto Justus.
The song was also briefly used during Trump's stint with World Wrestling Entertainment (WWE) as his entrance theme before he changed to a different song, and it was subsequently incorporated into a series of sketches on Late Night with Conan O'Brien in which O'Brien would perform an impression of Trump.
Brian Griffin sings the chorus of the song whilst drunk in the episode of Family Guy titled "Peter, Peter, Caviar Eater." The song was also featured on two episodes of The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air and Martin.
A small extract was also used when Monica, Chandler and Phoebe enter the casino in the finale of season 5 of the popular TV show Friends.
The song was parodied as "Cash Cash Cashety Cash" in the Drawn Together episode "The One Wherein There Is a Big Twist."
Bone Thugs N' Harmony used the first line as their chorus to the song "Foe Tha Love of Money," released in 1993.
The song was also played at Camp Randall Stadium in Madison, Wisconsin when Wisconsin Badgers football kicker Taylor Mehlhaff converted field goal attempts.
On May 1, 2010, Floyd Mayweather, Jr. came out to this song before beating "Sugar" Shane Mosley in their 12-round bout.
Chad Mendes also previously used this song as his entrance music in the UFC.
The Rare Blend cover of "For the Love of Money" was used during a driving sequence ("Joe's Coin Bit") in the 2001 movie Driven.
The chorus of the song is sung by Whoopi Goldberg in the opening medley of songs in the film Sister Act 2: Back in the Habit.
The song appears in Season 2 of Moonlighting, in the eighth episode, titled "Brother, Can You Spare a Blonde?" after Maddie Hayes (Cybill Shepherd) empties a suitcase of money to a waiting crowd below her.
The song was used for an H&R Block ad campaign beginning in 2014 called "Get your billion back America."
Diluted message[edit]
The lead singer of the O'Jays, Eddie Levert, once complained that in the years since the song became a hit, its message has been spun into one of pro-idolatry and has thus ceased to be one of awareness and self-control.[citation needed]
