Congratulations congratulations congratulations congratulations congratulations congratulations congratulations congratulations to Joe Trela who's want youngest millionaire in history 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🎉🎉🎉🎉
Wow. Used 2 lifelines on one question and then didn’t even pick the answer his brother recommended. Impressive he went the remaining 5 questions with no lifelines.
you have to keep in mind as well that this is just the edited version, dunno how true this is but people have said he took like 30 mins on that question alone
Yogi Berra question; Regis twice said "I'm right here for you", emphasizing "right". Joe was leaning to the snswer on the left, Regis, slyly (haha), corrected him.
I wouldn't have made it to the million question but I do remember reading about the moth back when I first started playing around with computers in '97
9:18. Regis: Okay. "Which baseball player has played in the most number of World Series games?" Reggie Jackson, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, Pee Wee Reese. 10:45. Joe: "Which baseball player has played in the most number of World Series games?" Reggie Jackson, Yogi Berra, Mickey Mantle, or Pee Wee Reese. 12:28. Regis: If u miss here, you'll lose fifteen thousand, leave with one. Joe: Mm-hmm. Regis: But if u get it, you'll leave--u can't leave with less than thirty-two thousand dollars. 13:39. Joe: Let's-- let's go ahead & let's, pick B. Regis: You're gonna pick B? Joe: Yeah. Regis: Yogi Berra is going to be ur final answer? Joe: Yeah, I think so. Yes. Regis: Yogi Berra...is the right answer!
Really annoying that Regis didn't ask him why he ignored his first instinct "Reggie Jackson", and his brothers guess "Reggie Jackson", especially when the 50/50 left Jackson standing. Strange. 13:40
I think that’s the running gag for the show since after the $32k question you have a pitch black studio, lights only on you and the host, and suspense music blasting through the speakers 😂 so it’s designed to stress a person out hence them drinking the water and the audience laughing.
1:28 OK, time’s up. Let’s see the answer in the correct order starting with the earliest, and it was: The Satanic Verses, then the Celestine Prophecy, then The Perfect Storm, Timeline was the last one. Let’s see who got it right in the fast… the only one, Joe Trela!! (Applause and cheers) Come over here, Joe. You want to play? Joe: I’m ready! Regis: Oh, he’s ready. He’s gonna come back and win a million. We’ll be right back, don’t go away.
Hard to believe that this episode was a year & 1 day before my stepmother MARIE F.ROUTHIER 6-14-1913-3-24-2001 died from lung cancer/respiratory failure in a temporary nursing home in Colorado Springs Co.after leaving her home here in Baltimore for 48 years since 1953.Plus I had already been living with my lady friend Teresa Tolbert for already going on 5 years at our old house 3201 E.Monument St.

The 500k question is easy if you're a horror movie enthusiast. The Exorcist is one of the most iconic movies in the horror genre!
All of them are easy if you know them
as a geo nerd, the 125k question was super easy for me
@@Blackcrow2077 back then I think they were considered harder, idk why tho
I thought Damien was Exorcist until I realised it was The Omen. Like Crow said, easy if you know 'em...
That would've been a great 32k question,
but half a million?? no way.
He's a big one! But he also scored $1 from every nerve of steel he had until the end! GG's...
WOW! INCREDIBLE!
Some of the million dollar questions that I've seen on this show have been ridiculously easy.
His sister in law was my 8th grade teacher! She told us about Joe winning the show one time in class
The moth got trapped in a computer at Harvard University on September 9 1947
could bt be the roach, the visiting chinese researchers would ve already roasted and eaten it
japanese beetles were never made, they went those crappy looking toyotas in the 1970s
Good use of Google.
I remember watching this and knew the answer to the million dollar question because I read about it in a computer history book.
Intelligence and willingness to risk it all is what gets the big money in this world people!

It took 6 minutes for Joe to answer that million dollar question, which made this show more intense

Please bring it back it's my favorite show 😮😮😮😅
I wouldn't have made it to the million question but I do remember reading about the moth back when I first started playing around with computers in '97
The 250,000 question was easy. 😁
I knew it by remembering a conversion chart on the back of my exercise books in school
So was the $125k. Brazil and Angola are automatic scratches. Thailand was an obvious answer.
I miss this show so much. They just don’t make game shows like this anymore.
For real
How are you doing Scott . Hope you’re having a great day
I wish he was asked why he went against his brother’s answer. Don’t think it was shenanigans, but I would be very curious.

Fun fact: originally billy crystal was to voice buzz lightyear in the toy story movie 🎬 franchise but instead it was tim allen
Well for the $250,000 question, you could eliminate A and B, since it couldn't be warmer and C seemed like the odd choice, so...
His last name means "madness" in Greek and I would say it suits him perfectly.
Really annoying that Regis didn't ask him why he ignored his first instinct "Reggie Jackson", and his brothers guess "Reggie Jackson", especially when the 50/50 left Jackson standing. Strange.
