Host Jeremy asked which out of Keith Urban, Keith Chegwin, Keith Richards or Keith Lemon was it that found fame in popular 60s band The Rolling Stones.
Connor wasn't confident with his answer, but had an inkling it was either co-founder of the rock group Richards or telly presenter Chegwin.
As Jeremy giggled away to himself, he said: "I can hear the crew laughing. I can tell you I don't think this is really breaking with the rules too much, one of those is hilariously wrong."
Connor replied: "God I'm going to look like an idiot on TV."

The presenter hit back: "No no you already are doing!"
Connor had a feeling that the answer was Keith Richards but he still wasn't 100 per cent, so he decided to ask Jeremy for help.
The former Top Gear star confirmed that his guess was correct, but fans of the ITV show were left in shock that Connor had to use a lifeline on the FIRST question.
One tweeted: "1st question using a lifeline, brilliant #whowantstobeamillionaire."
A second said: "F**k me #rollingidiot #whowantstobeamillionaire."
A third chimed in: "I have got no bloody hope for this guy on now #WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire."
A fourth added: "Lifeline on the first question...wow. #whowantstobeamillionaire."
Another wrote: "Never forget the contestant who used a lifeline on the first question #whowantstobeamillionaire."
Despite his slow start, Connor ended up leaving the studio with a whopping £135,000.
It comes after a contestant called Somebi was left stunned after Jeremy Clarkson gave him the correct answer to a £64k question.
