Comedian and actress Nikki Glaser learned the hard way that you don’t mess with Texas, after angering San Antonians with her lack of geographic knowledge on the ABC game show “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”
The popular 90s TV show was rebooted with Jimmy Kimmel as the host and featured celebrities playing to win money for their chosen charity.
Wednesday night’s episode featured Glaser, as a contestant on the show’s second episode. For her $64,000 question, she was asked “If you walked due north from San Antonio, Texas to Canada, which of these states would you not pass through on your journey?” Glasser was given the options of Kansas, Nebraska, South Dakota or Colorado.
Naturally, San Antonians were excited to see the Alamo City represented in the new TV show, but some weren’t excited when Glaser admitted she didn’t know where San Antonio was.
“I don’t really know geography that well. San Antonio? Where the hell is that in Texas?” Glaser said.
The comedian said she had been to the Alamo City before, but “just never looks at a map when at places.” She even went as far as to think San Antonio was “pretty far west”
“I literally have no idea,” Glaser said

Glaser even asked her lifeline, TV personality Dr. Drew Pinksy, who also didn’t know where in Texas San Antonio is located.
“There are thousands of people in San Antonio screaming at their television sets right now,” Kimmel said. “They know where they are, why don’t we?”
Glaser then had to use her 50/50 advantage, which eliminated two of the wrong answers. She eventually guessed the correct answer, which was Colorado.
