Irvington Resident to Appear on ‘Millionaire’

Emily Leonard, a 25-year-old fitness studio manager, will appear on the show on Wednesday and Thursday at 12:30 p.m. on ABC channel 7.

A brand new lavishly decorated house and extravagant wedding reception may be in Irvington resident Emily Leonard’s near future.

If she becomes a millionaire, her new house, she’ll “decorate the hell out of it.” Her wedding next summer will have the finest beers, as her fiancé Mike Humphrey is a “beer snob.” 

“Anything less than craft beer, just won’t do,” said Leonard, a manager at Kinespirit fitness studio in Manhattan.
