So, a couple of things here, just to answer some questions I've seen asked a few times 1: I do have more episodes and will try to post them 2: A lot of my work this semester was/is focused on the midterm elections which is why I've been so darn busy (or quiet, as it pertains to my YT channel) lately (I promise, I haven't forgotten about you guys!)… now that they're over, I'm hoping the workload lightens a bit, so I SHOULD have some more time to get stuff uploaded 3: I do not have any more episodes from 2000
It will always be one of my favorite game shows of all time and nobody has done it better than Regis and that is my final answer. He was a very classy and funny individual and he will truly be missed. RIP Regis
24:03, John Cuthbertson is asked a question about the movie Titanic. The technocrane used on Millionaire was actually one of the ones used in the making of Titanic.
Regis: What is the largest object in our solar system? The sun, the moon, Jupiter, Saturn? Mark:................The sun. Regis: Is that your final answer? Mark:.............................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................................The sun, yes.
For anybody else who fell into the same trap Mark fell into, don't worry. I did, too, and I consider myself very good about geography. However, it turns out that Santa Fe is indeed the highest, and by a larger height than I expected. It stands at *7,199* feet high, almost 2,000 feet higher than Denver. As a result, I've heard locals say that you should take at least two full days to acclimatize if you ever visit.
I bet the audience would have been wrong as well if he asked them and the 50 50 will 100 percent leave Denver and Santa Fe and a phone a friend would have said Denver.
I remember this episode being on a GSN rerun when I was a kid (back when the November 1999 episodes were new to me), so you can imagine how shocked I was that Mark bombed at $32,000 with all three lifelines remaining, and that the phone-a-friend was never used in this episode (which, by the way, made me think "Is the phone-a-friend ever used in this series?").
On John Cuthbertson's $64,000 question - the interesting thing is that the Nobel Peace Prize is the only Nobel Prize that is given in Oslo. Funnily enough, all of the other ones are actually given in Stockholm.
Mark Megerian is the first Millionaire player to not use any of the lifelines. He blew on his "Santa Fe" question for $32,000, but Mark still leaves with not-so-bad $1,000.
1:10 Not without saying I was a little confused there at first when I got this ep during a trade I did back in Feb 2001; but as soon as Regis said his name I immediately let out a big “Oh Yeah!” remembering he was missing in Aug 1999 Ep 8.
I thought even by then they edited out the "Final Answer" question from the first 5. Surprisingly slow paced for US network TV, even for 99. Especially the long introduction to a leftover contestant from Series 1.
14:58 Mark loses $15,000. Was living a bit dangerously on the previous few questions by going with deductive reasoning. Came back to haunt him in the end. Still had all his lifelines too.
I agree with Jim. The audience would've likely went with Mark's logic. Unless the phone-a-friend was a geography expert, they would likely have also guessed Denver. Pretty certain 50-50 would've left Santa Fe and Denver as well.
Here is episode #14 of Primetime Millionaire on ABC (United States). It is aired on November 7, 1999 and it's the first episode of the November '99 season. 🇺🇲 🇺🇲
While this may have been legendary in Britain, the US version was absolutely GOATED and the fact that John Carpenter won the million just 4-5 months before the UK had it's first millionaire makes this more GOATED than ever 😊😊
This is the first episode of Season 2.Millionaire premeired in August 99.Even on this show Regis refers to series 1 .Do you have the Very first U.S episode from August 1999?
I found out that a lot of ABC channels have used the logo shown in the bottom right corner. Without local ads in this upload it's hard to tell. I don't live near any of their locations as the ones I receive where I live are WNEP (Scranton/Wilkes-Barre) and WPVI (Philly).
Thanks for the laugh! :) Yeah, pretty basic wasn't it? I don't know where the hell they find some of these contestants, many of them are so damn thick!
I must admit.... I do not like america, I have zero interest in their culture, their movies.... anything... but I am pleasantly surprised to find they do WWTBAM very well, I really am enjoying this thank you
The UK producers mandated that the sets, music and rules be kept the same, though they allowed a friendlier host in Regis compared to Chris. It stood out for that reason, they weren't allowed to mess with it
I think there may have been some extra cues for the US version, though. The “last time on WWTBAM…” cue (the one with the bells lead), used to recap the last show, isn’t in any UK episodes. I’ve never even found a clean copy of that cue.
The last question was good for me. Where did McCain spend five years straight? I didn't know he was gay. From there, West Point and Attica sound like bad options. Dunno about the governor's mansion.

RIP Regis Philbin loved you on Who Wants to Be A Millionaire! It was my favorite TV show of the 90s!
We love you Regis Philbin we'll miss you pal amen
Just watched this again on GSN this morning. So great to see these episodes back on their schedule!
Thank you! This was my favorite show back in fifth grade and continues to be a favorite now!
It will always be one of my favorite game shows of all time and nobody has done it better than Regis and that is my final answer. He was a very classy and funny individual and he will truly be missed. RIP Regis
I remember watching this show on channel 7

We’re in 2024 and I hope Who Wants To Be A Millionaire is aired again for the 25th Anniversary!

I did as well. Denver ain't called the Mile High City for nothing.
I bet the audience would have been wrong as well if he asked them and the 50 50 will 100 percent leave Denver and Santa Fe and a phone a friend would have said Denver.
November of 1999 twenty-four years ago

The premiere of the second wave of episodes of the original US version. R.I.P. Regis Phiibin.
Mark Megerian is the first Millionaire player to not use any of the lifelines. He blew on his "Santa Fe" question for $32,000, but Mark still leaves with not-so-bad $1,000.

John Cuthbertson was a Jeopardy contestant won 5 times and a semifinalist in the Tournament of Champions
I thought even by then they edited out the "Final Answer" question from the first 5. Surprisingly slow paced for US network TV, even for 99. Especially the long introduction to a leftover contestant from Series 1.
This is why I miss ABC like this
@Tyrelle Audain it's so much nostalgic and fun.
This game show was my childhood!
I love the music while he is explaining the rules
That poor first contestant.. lol rip! Almost got to 32k. I thought it was that too.
Very common trap to fall into. I did when I first saw the question, too.
14:58 Mark loses $15,000. Was living a bit dangerously on the previous few questions by going with deductive reasoning. Came back to haunt him in the end. Still had all his lifelines too.
No guarantee the lifelines would've helped him. A lot of people would've guessed Denver.
I agree with Jim. The audience would've likely went with Mark's logic. Unless the phone-a-friend was a geography expert, they would likely have also guessed Denver. Pretty certain 50-50 would've left Santa Fe and Denver as well.
John Christensen's $2,000 question was also a terminator question on Greed, which 1 guy got the answer wrong on that show.

I found it for you! The very first Regis Philbin episode of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire:
th-cam.com/video/TONZomfyR00/w-d-xo.html
It re-aired today on GSN
happy 25th anniversary who wants to be a millionaire RIP regis
Oh nooo, here comes Mark M.
Yup. I was right on the $64,000 question since Oslo caught my eyes as if it was my instinct.
Awesome!!
Can ya upload Jane Oviatt's run?
R.I.P. Regis Philbin.
It has been 20 years since the November 1999 series of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire premiered.
Are you going to upload ALL the November 1999 episodes?
You can find it here on TH-cam
Do you have any more 2000 episodes WWTBAMclassics?
It all begins again.
Three days after Greed premiered
Fact
That game was played like millionaire at 1st but in the latter part of the game questions had 4 correct answers instead of 1
Do u plan to upload the whole November series? I may want to know what happens next on the next episode
happier times.
Hello there. Whenever you see this, can you let me know if you have John Carpenter's full run on the show and if you plan on uploading it? Goodbye!
Wanna make that your final?
Really thought it was Denver too..
Moved to Denver in 2021 or 2022
Of Nobel prizes, only the Peace prize is given in Oslo, the others in Stockholm. Nobel was a Swede.
I'm guessing it's our New York tv station

Phone a Friend is neglected in this episode.
I wish ask the audience was neglected in this episode it's as popular as Richard Dawson was on match game
Making the biggest financial decisons of their lives lmao
Even I know 3 teaspoons in 1 tablespoon and I'm an idiot
Thanks for the laugh! :) Yeah, pretty basic wasn't it? I don't know where the hell they find some of these contestants, many of them are so damn thick!
I thought I remembered learning it was 3 but my initial guess was 4. 2 was a horrible guess and he said it so fast.
Mannnnn watching Mark struggle is AWKWARRRRD he looks like a deer in the headlights up there 😬
I must admit....
I do not like america, I have zero interest in their culture, their movies.... anything...
but I am pleasantly surprised to find they do WWTBAM very well, I really am enjoying this thank you

I would love to get a Titanic question for $32.000. Watched that movie so many times as a kid.
The last question was good for me. Where did McCain spend five years straight? I didn't know he was gay. From there, West Point and Attica sound like bad options. Dunno about the governor's mansion.

What's with Mark pulling all those stupid faces?!
There's so many overweight/fat/obese people on this show. Why are Americans getting so BIG?!
Lack pf exercise and lack of portion control.
