@@HurricanePatrick I totally agree with you John Carpenter was more dominant not to mention the fact that John didn't even use any of his lifelines up until the last question
Thanks for uploading, this is a really great episode. Bernie is what you'd consider a perfect guest for a show like this, he's intelligent, has personality, and knows how to joke with Regis. It seemed like he was just here to have fun and wasn't that nervous.
Why is that show called Who wants to be a Millionaire when you have to pay taxes in the USA and therefore don‘t walk out with 1 million dollar? Misleading title lol Here in Germany you don‘t pay taxes on winnings of such shows.
As someone who watched all the British episodes back in the day, I decided to recently watch some of the old American ones I've missed.... And man.... Bernie you madlad. Perfect contestent to have won a million dollars. Well done my man👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
@@fifteenfingers Wasn't referencing Carpenter. Bernie mentioned earlier in the game that his father was DQ'd from being a phone-a-friend because he wouldn't stop sweating during rehearsal.
Regis Philbin passing away this week was a sad moment in television history for so many, myself included; watching Bernie Cullen dominate this classic WWTBAM episode changed all that and made my heart smile! My all time favorite episode too😍RIP to an indelible legend indeed🌷#gonebutnotforgotten
I remember watching this night it aired on ABC Easter Sunday night 2001, great times and miss those times very much ! Bernie Cullen dominated the game ! “Back to the VIP Room” those Cullens are savages. RIP Regis Philbin
Interesting trivia: On Bernie's $500,000, "simoom" refers to a hot wind, usually covered with sand (basically winds you'd find in the Arabian desert); "string theory" is a concept in physics, and is occasionally the titular "theory of everything" (I have no idea how it works, though); and "saprobity" connects to toxic waste and when matter decays.
It sure was NICE that 69% said 'N' (I also knew it was N). Point being, any question for $1,000,000 that nearly 70% of the audience chooses correctly with 4 choices is probably not a $1,000,000 level question.
@Bryce Jowett "N" numbers aren't so-named for being "non-military." The registration prefix system comes from before the era of aircraft registrations, and is based on the international radio call-sign system established in 1913.
@@seikibrian8641 Using the wording "Non-Military" would poll some folks in to believe "N" stood for non-military. On the other hand, I know nothing about airplanes, and would not have chose "N" because I thought it would be too obvious for the $1 Million question...
The one time where Regis met his match. Bernie Cullen even looked a little bit like a younger Regis. I’ll always remember that Joe Pesci laugh though 😂😂. 😃
I thought that carpenter guy was the most savage millionaire performance of all time. OMG this guy cool as a cucumber, couldn't care less about money 😎😎
Seems like a great guy. Like someone has said already in the comments, Bernie seems to suit this program perfectly. Just the right personality for this kind of show
Love this episode too❤Bernie Cullen's a favorite WWTBAM contestant of mine, especially during the final question😁LOVE his sense of humor....this made my day, thank you for uploading!☺
As soon as Dr. Allen Chernobyl reaches the $32,000 level, he’s guaranteed to leave here with at least that much money before I can write adventure novels.
Had no idea that Cullen was a winner prior to this episode.... When he trusted the audience to answer the final question... I was nervous, but so relieved!!!!!
25:47 correct answer could have been George Washington. The question 'At the time of his election' George was the first so he was the oldest at the time of his election
Is Regis saying they made the chance of getting on the show through the phone game more randomised at the start, because they removed the second stage of questions and added a random draw? I've been curious about the phone game because there's no recordings of it at all I can find.
Something seems off about this contestant and I can’t put my finger on it. I still wonder how this guy was so non chalant about most of his appearance. Seems off to me.
Classic Regis moment giving terrible advice on the 50-50 / Ask the Audience 😂 Obviously you want as many wrong answers up there as possible so you get fewer members of the audience just guessing the right answer…
Exactly! Or maybe you should ask the audience to vote for one of the two gone answers if they don't know the answer for sure. Then you can compare the percentages of the two remaining answers, but the risk is that almost no one votes for these answers.
It's funny, i thought the million dollar question was easy and i also got the 500k question, but the problem is getting to that level which i would not have managed.
I actually think this is a very easy question for the million dollar question. It’s common sense right off the bat being N for Non-military. BUT on the other hand that would make me think it was a trick question and actually be U
U seemed like an "obvious" choice if someone makes a connection between "U" and 'United States" perhaps. But I also thought this was on the easier side for an MDQ as well. An MDQ probably shouldn't get that kind of a majority when the audience is asked
I feel worse for the middle guy because he was talked out of his answer by his phone a friend. That dude did seem pretty smart so he would have had a good chance at answering the last questions that are usually more science and history questions.
36:48 *BERNIE CULLEN: N! A! FINAL ANSWER, REGIS! 😁* 36:51 *REGIS PHILBIN: HE JUST MADE A MILLION DOLLARS!!! 😲* *RYDER: YOU DID IT, BERNIE! 😄👏* *AUDIENCE: 😍* *RYDER ZACHARY #15: ⭐ (CORRECT!)*
On a separate note, if I haven’t uploaded something yet, there’s probably a 95-99% chance I don’t have it. Most of the shows I have now are syndicated eps
If everybody played like Bernie, there'd have been a fair few more big money winners, but also a fairly bigger amount of wrong answers... Clever guy, but completely out of his mind lmao... just the way they should be!
Haha japanese TV is... special, to say the least. Putting that aside though it makes sense how much they're willing to risk on Quiz $ Millionaire, given how rich japan is and how surprisingly low the prize money is.
At the time of his election, who was the oldest person to become president? Wouldn't it also be George Washington AT THE TIME OF HIS ELECTION.....interesting
Did the check for $1,000,000 be given to Mr. Bernie by Regis or returned with nothing? What's the point of handing Bernie the check on the show? Weird!!
So 50% of the audience knew that orecchiette meant "little ears." The rest of them shouldn't have voted, because they didn't know and were just guessing.
@@auspicious93 Yes, there's a connection: both the Italian word for "ear" -- "orecchie" -- and the French "oreille" are derived from the Latin word for ear, "auris."
According to the Millionaire wiki, Bernie was born sometime in 1972, so he was in his late 20's at the time. Trela and Goodman were younger contestants on this show. I still consider Trela as the youngest winner ever (taking Regis' word for it) because of this rumor. (not my video but popular with almost four million views) th-cam.com/video/NMNDwhxhUgI/w-d-xo.html Trela's winning answer was Moth on 3-23-2000.
Yeah it probably would have gotten a clarification if they asked. At least once or twice it made the final edit where a contestant asked for clarification and they sent it to Regis's monitor. You can see it when Drew Carey played the first time, on the patent question.

I appreciate him for not giving 30 second explainations about the obvious 100 to 500 dollar questions like most people do
He seemed arrogant for me
He looks like the long-lost cousin of Joe (and, hence, his brother Steve) from Blue’s Clues. ❤️
His questions seemed relatively easy.
Guy was out on lunch just decided to pop in and play millionaire for the hell of it.

@Christopher Bassani That would have been true for him, but he no longer holds that record and hasn't for a long time lol.

Seems like the England version of the show is way harder than the American counter part.
This is what would happen if Ferris Bueller went on Millionaire.
Technically, George Washington was the oldest person to become President at the time of his election too. Badly worded question.
Washington was 57; Reagan was 73.

36:51 HE JUST MADE A MILLION DOLLARS!!
Bernie Cullen (MILLIONAIRE)
Regis mispronounced Rio Grande. No one pronounces it Grandy in Texas. It is pronounced Grand.
Even though that was probably a really hard $500k question Syzygy was the only one that sounded right.
Wait. He won a bunch of money on Jeopardy in the 90s and couldn’t buy a goddamn couch?
Maybe he blew it all away at the time.
Bernie Cullen: 8th millionaire, right?
Yep, just 2 shows after Kevin Olmstead
@@WWTBAMclassics Crazy if it weren't for Olmstead, he would have won $2.2+ Million!
Bernie deserves the win!
Sorry but I do NOT have the previous, or following show.
I also still do not have any more episodes from early 2000
Here's something that you know, WWTBAMC: Kenneth Allendorfer won $1000 after getting his $8k question wrong.
He was also a 5 time jeopardy champ
25:47 correct answer could have been George Washington. The question 'At the time of his election' George was the first so he was the oldest at the time of his election
What a nice personality!!! So glad he won...and with flying colours!!!
