- Similar to the last one I posted, most of this show is already posted on youtube (albeit in multiple parts) but I got a request for the last 60 or so secs of the episode so again I figured I’d just post the whole thing in one video

Regis made this show! - There's nothing like the classic format of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire! I loved this game show all through my childhood!
The original UK show has come back with Chris Tarrant and the US show has come back with Jimmy Kimmel.
Man I get UNREASONABLY frustrated whenever the phone-a-friend doesn't manage to give an answer in time. I'd honestly be so angry at whoever that was if it were me up there. Like it's one thing to say "I don't have a clue", that's like "Okay, well, neither so that's fair" but just getting BEEP BEEP BEEP while waiting for an answer just be so frustrating.
Try doing it in real life. There's a wiki for WWTBAM with every question ever, try it with a friend and see how you do 😅
Thank God he didn’t go for that question. $468000 would’ve been an absolutely devastating loss (I think it only ever happened once and it was on the more recent version when Regis returned for the anniversary version or something, the guy was so cocky too).
RIP Regis, you are very missed. Definitely my favourite host this show ever had. His charisma always brought the entertainment just as much as the game itself.
Was that the contestant who was attending Law school and had the Lyndon B Johnson question on his favorite drink installed in the Oval Office?
@@Mr.NoName1972 That was Ken Basin in the 10th anniversary special edition in 2009, pretty sure he was the last contestant of the anniversary special. Sad that we didn't get to see it finish with a top prize winner (it was also the very last episode Regis ever hosted).
It reminds me of when Norm Macdonald (RIP) was the last contestant of the celebrity edition in 2000 and he had the right answer but ended up taking the $500k so the celeb edition didn't get to finish with the first ever celebrity million dollar winner.
Also I'm now realizing how lucky Gary is that the $2000 question asked for the character after http, and not after the colon, because he said it was a backslash when it is in fact a forward slash. He would have gotten that one wrong (unless it was different back in 2001, I was too young to remember for sure). How different everything may have turned out because of that.
Been 2 years since we lost Regis… and I’m still binge watching these Millionaire reruns! Thanks again also always! @WWTBAMclassics
We love you Regis we'll miss you pal amen
What an escape to 500,000winner,just a coolest guy like his voice,wish his boss had had an idea...
The guy who lost at ask d audience truly had a tough question, such technical terms shouldn't be asked ..
When I know the correct answer to that $2 mil. question. He declined the prize because Vietnam was NOT in peace at that time.
The other reason is that Kissinger also won the prize. He simply didn't like the fact that one of those who convinced the US to keep its troops in Vietnam to massacre civilians was also awarded.
@@tachalorah tru
Regis couldn't even breakdown the audiences response to V-chip correctly lol
One of the people who invented the V Chip said it was intended to stand for Viewer Control. Though a representative that supposedly coined the term said it stood for violence so that was a very sloppy question. Depending on the source both are said to be correct.
They brought back a bunch of people who were given faulty questions. He should have sent in a letter, Ed Toutant sent in a polite letter asking for a check on the question and got an invite back, he went on to win 1860000 after first leaving with 1000.
It's past the statute of limitations on game show callbacks now though
That’s probably why the majority of the audience picked the answer that the show deemed to be a wrong one.
15:58 Oh, no, no, no.
It’s always held in Louisville.
31:00 He just won a half
million dollars!
The sports writer lost on an easy question about sports lol
I knew it was an “L” city. Probably just had a moment of cognitive dissonance. It’s funny that they put Lexington before Louisville on the list.
That jackpot question was a head scratcher. I had no idea on this one.
The guy that won $500000 acts like a flippin robot. Dude is so nervous he froze
Black Panther was told not to freeze, but he did anyway. lol!
Sartre refused the literature prize saying he didnt want to be "institutionalised."
That was a perfect 2 million dollar question
y
I may not be an American but Regis was the heart and soul of this show. Can't watch anything made after he quit, it feels wrong.
Thanks for uploading this.
You're very welcome!
That V Chip question was chickenshit. I always felt so bad for contestants who left prematurely because of dumb questions like that. He seemed like a smart guy who would have gone into the deeper rounds.
I just know, with my luck, if I ever got in the hot seat that would probably happen to me lol
yeah there's some tricky questions in their list of questions. some are just Horrible LUL
The way I see it, had they gotten rid of the "viewer control" answer and replaced it with something else, the answer would've at least had been doable rather than two correct answers, with one being "more correct."
To me, as written this was a bad question. As aired, the contestant who had that question could have returned at a later time like several other contestants did; however if he selected B or C, the game would have been over for him anyway. Two people provided separate opinions on what the V stands for. Ed Markey thinks it means violence; Tim Collins (someone who helped with inventing the VCHIP) says the V meant viewer control.
WWTBAM did bring back a bunch of people who were given faulty questions, it was all polite and professional. Ed Toutant came back after the rollover but with his rollover jackpot per his contract, and he managed to win it, so they ended up giving out two rollover jackpots of 4 million combined.
Too late now, but someone should have sent in a letter for the V chip guy, it got other contestants back on the show with a polite apology and invite back.
Is that Eric Oberhand on the "Last time on Who Wants To Be a Millionaire" segment? I saw his run on Sashinator0's channel.
Gary Gambino was a great contestant. He's a smart guy.
Ok.
Ok
Except for the last question, I thought he can go all the way and break the drought of no millionaire.
@@lawandorder888 Well, he didn't know it. And that doesn't mean he didn't play good. And, $500,000 is life-changing money.
@@robbyosborne9708I agree, $500,000 is a life changing money.
Working from home back when it wasn't a thing haha
so this was the episode that would award $2M after the hiatus of Greed...
On this March 1, 2001 episode of the U.S. Millionaire program on ABC, the top prize reaches the $2 million mark.
Le Duc Tho is the only person of the Nobel Peace Prize to decline the prize.
I know this because he is Vietnamese and I am Vietnamese
And there was a war going on in 1973, as Regis said.
I got the question wrong and it was literally right in front of me.
Do you know what the http abv means?
Have you managed to upload the 11/9/2000 episode of Millionaire in High Quality?
I still don't have it. Remember, if I haven't uploaded a show, there's a good chance I don't have it since I've uploaded almost everything, if not everything I've taped. Most of my shows left on tape are syndicated
You can watch the 11/9/2000 episode on VHSgoodiesWA's channel.
20:25 it's colon and two *forward slashes*
Not backward slashes, as he said.
He was right about colon tho
15:53 Think before answering.
He was so confident lmfao
Major sports.
Well, actually Keeneland held in Lexington
and Kentucky Derby in Louisville.
What do they mean when they say "I came here with nothing"? Did they lose all their 💰 before coming on the show?
As in no matter what they win, they'll leave with more than they came with
In 5:50 the $8.000 question sound change with the $4.000 question sound!!!
As well as Final Answer SFX (the one that was also used for question 12)
I didn't notice. Will have to rewind it
wowthe diffuculty of lowlimits questions for TOM wow unreal and blows the easy one the city of kentucky derby
Never heard of a violence chip before in my life. Wtf?
It was an early form of "parental control." Owners could set their televisions to not play certain programs that the ratings authorities deemed too violent.
I knew V-chip, and I had a strong hunch that Viewer-control'd be wrong, but it was a really tricky question.
@@KanjoosLahookvinhaakvinhookvin it's both Violent and viewer-control. it has 2 answers.
His boss could've looked up the answer.
probably didn't want him to quit his job.
Internet wasn't that fast back then
I was THISCLOSE to playing for that, one phone call away from getting on the show!
Exciting!
@@jackiwheeler6963 Well, not when you have to helplessly sit and watch said jackpot go to someone else!! But relatives' behavior during that span was even more reprehensible!
I'm sorry.
Do I remember correctly that the progressive jackpot version of Millionaire was marketed as “Who Wants to be a Mega Millionaire?”
Maybe? Not to be confused with Super Millionaire though.
37:58 Le Duc Tho
Why ask a chemist about international affairs? Not wise to ask a "boss" anyway.
any millionaire episodes from 2000?
Plenty.
Damn that 2nd guy was beyond bad. 3 lifelines in first 5 questions. Works in sports and goes on to fail a sports question. I am not American and even I knew the answer smh.
And I know nothing of sports but I know where the Derby is held.
WWTBAM! the dumming down of America!
I googled the final answer.👍
Me too😅
Any more from March 2001, please?
Nope, this is the last one I have
some times these questions are so easy even in upper high cash like 32,000 and then bam an ungodly question that only a person with knowledge in that catergory can answer something like WHO was the 3rd king of england ?
that's the point. not only do they force lifeline uses, they are making it very challenging to win 1 million.
R and B paper 😅
Lolol cmon nobody laughed at that Toyota joke?
33:46 wait wait, you’d pick calling your boss?? Really? If he gives you the right answer you win, your telling him off the next morning and quitting I’d never do that lol
💀💀💀
I found of this show, always I saw that time
One dork after the next lol.
I think he's wearing a toupee
LOL Gary last name GAMBINO and show is aired in NYC great win $500,000 about $150,000 goes to taxes so YOU got a large Bank of $350,000 if investedto get higet yield you can quit your job
Actually after taxes he will see $456,250
@@LiberatorGalore I thought taxes were 40%. He's only seeing $300k.
@@ChiSportsNut18 This was just after the Bush tax cuts. Good timing to get on the show!
Shouldn’t have wasted the 50/50.
Sal Mecca never should've wasted all his lifelines on the first 5 questions.
Who the fuck sings about bills?
Destiny's Child
Apparently Destiny's child
How does the audience know what they're guessing they have no screen... drives me bananas
They can see the question and answers on monitors above them
