This was such a great TV show! And Regis Philbin was the ultimate host! They need to bring this show back with a similar host and let people become millionaires if they can make it all the way through the questions.
Same here, but since I know what the megillah is, I would have chosen that since the others made no sense and the megillah is a book, the book of Esther
Washington on the quarter Jefferson on the nickel. How could she not know that? I would have walked too, not being a coin guy, but I was leaning towards the Lincoln penny myself, but I also figured we would have had presidents on coins earlier than 1909
Yes, we used to use emblems of our ideals, then we exalted personalities on our money. Maybe these statue destroyers will start cutting faces out of their money.
THAT was the $500,000 question? I had to re-read it a few times to make sure it wasn't a trick question. Maybe I'm taking my coin collecting hobby for granted.
From the American "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" show, here is Donna White's game & it's from 2 episodes, both airing in April 2001 (during the primetime version on ABC). 🇺🇲 🇺🇲
Either Todd and Zane thought North Carolina was bigger than Colorado or they misheard the question as biggest to smallest and chose California first. I was shocked anybody got that wrong.
Think the audience thinks they are obligated to answer even when they don't know the answer. The smart contestants ask the audience not to answer if they weren't sure but.......
I would've used the 50:50 on the $2000 question as I know the term for liquid to solid is freezing 🥶 and the term for solid to liquid is melting but I don't know the term for liquid to gas or gas to solid
I’m not fond of the times when it was obvious that the Phone-a-Friend was looking up an answer online, but this time it was exciting and down to the wire
FortNikitaBullion What? No, it wasn't. When you're dumb, you immediately go to the most obvious answer. The answers on WWTBAM are the ones that are the LEAST obvious or has NOTHING to do with the other options [guy who produces this show said that]. So, the smart person is thinking 'which president is the one that's the least obvious?' I was thinking Lincoln, but I thought that was far too obvious.
Donna White doesn't know her "first president on a U.S. monetary coin" question for $500,000, so she decides to walk away with $250,000. Good job for her! 👍👍
@@seikibrian8641 I wasn't saying that. But she did decide to use it and pronounce it incorrectly. Her other son wagyu never made it to the NBA, but Angus almost did
@@k.h.1587 It's not pronounced "incorrectly" in Bryant's case; it's pronounced "differently." It's a different word with the same spelling, but not the same pronunciation; a homograph, but not a homophone.

Original airdate anyone?
April 10th 2001
I just found out that Donna White passed away back in 2011. RIP Donna White
KISSIMMEE

how come in the WWTBAM fanpage stated no death date and the birth date?
Uh obituary please
I have never heard the expression "The whole megillah!"
Same here, but since I know what the megillah is, I would have chosen that since the others made no sense and the megillah is a book, the book of Esther
Me neither. I think it must be a New York/East Coast expression. Like Donna, I was expecting to see "enchilada" as the answer.

Probably just didn't want to risk the money.
I only guessed Lincoln because he was the most recent following the civil war, and they would’ve done something to commemorate him
It was to celebrate his 100th birthday.
Lol that Zagreb question became WAY easier since Croatia amazing run in the World Cup!
oh wow! the first guy winning the 2 million!... his reaction is priceless! So happy for him!
I wanna see a vid of that guy!

I can’t believe Regis told her she looks like Rosie O’Donnell lmao. She doesn’t that much...
THAT was the $500,000 question? I had to re-read it a few times to make sure it wasn't a trick question. Maybe I'm taking my coin collecting hobby for granted.
The penny Lincoln was the first. This is so easy for Half a Million!!
thats the only fastest finger question ive ever gotten right lmao
5:48 Camera zoomed down when Regis said let's play for $2,000. Unusual
I’ll be darned on that $500,000 question. I thought it was George Washington but guess not. Abe Lincoln was the correct answer.
Lincoln seemed so obvious I also would have avoided it at the 500k mark, assuming it wasn’t right.

Fun fact Connecticut is my home state! I'm super surprised that it was a part of Donna's fastest finger
I would love to see some more episodes from 2001 with the increase jackpot of 10,000 dollars
So I guess by the confetti on the ground... the first kevin won a million?
Correct, $2,180,000 to be exact
Yes 10:22 was recaping the episode
Either Todd and Zane thought North Carolina was bigger than Colorado or they misheard the question as biggest to smallest and chose California first. I was shocked anybody got that wrong.
Many people do not like or understand geography, sadly.
Looks like Velma, sounds like Velma .... calling Hollywood--
I thought that said Dana white 🤦♂️
Dana White 😂😂😂
3:30 whos the 5% of the audience that said "Vacation slide show."
Think the audience thinks they are obligated to answer even when they don't know the answer. The smart contestants ask the audience not to answer if they weren't sure but.......
Abraham Lincoln became the first president to be depicted on a circulating U.S. monetary coin in 1909.
Omg I like this question for Zagreb I live Bulgaria
Zagreb is in Croatia, not Bulgaria, if that's what you're wondering.
lol 5% said Slide show.
Jim Bridger is most commonly typified as a mountain man, not a wild west figure.
That horticulturist question was 1,000$
And the boiling point question was 2,000$ 😳
I would've used the 50:50 on the $2000 question as I know the term for liquid to solid is freezing 🥶 and the term for solid to liquid is melting but I don't know the term for liquid to gas or gas to solid
The music man...them feels....
I’m not fond of the times when it was obvious that the Phone-a-Friend was looking up an answer online, but this time it was exciting and down to the wire
He had other people in the room with him.
Such an easy $500,000 question.
ikr

C'mon her mom works at a bank. I bet she has brought home some pennies from the 1910s and 20s.
FortNikitaBullion oh, her mom works at a bank? i didn't know that, i just skimmed through to the questions. my bad, man.
I've collected a lot of US coins and I'm slightly embarrassed to not know. rip
16:35 that caller lol
Easy 500,000

She wasn't even happy lol
AND THEY...

"Kobe" isn't pronounced koh-bee. If it were, it would be spelled "Kobi" in the standard Hepburn romanization system. "Kobe" is pronounced koh-beh.
Exactly. I've been learning Japanese and one of the first things I learned is that the letter e only makes the eh sound in Japan.
Tell that to Mrs Bryant
@@k.h.1587 She had nothing to do with the naming of a Japanese city.
