This is from the May 1, 2000 episode of Millionaire on ABC. David Duchovny is the first person on the first Celebrity edition and he's playing for the East Harlem Schools at Exodus House charity.
I remember watching this and being amazed and yet stunned as well that he seemed so calm winning $250,000, and then just blew it all away the next question.
@@jjmcwill1881 Not sure why you'd think that's "stupid" or hard to believe - he literally made around that amount for _every single episode_ of the X-files he did, and there were over 200 of them, lol. He'd also already done the X-files movie in '96, which was a pretty big success (looking it up, it made nearly $200 million). Just doing rough math, he prob had something like $30 to $40 million to his name in 2000, and knew he was a big enough star to be in demand after the X-files.
@@WWTBAMclassics Hello there. Now, this is something I wanted to ask you about, so here it is: After seeing that you have the episodes of the first celebrity edition of Who Wants to be a Millionaire, do you have any of the celebrity episodes with Mick Foley and Meredith Vieira? Let me know. Sincerely, Curtis.
@@WWTBAMclassics All right. Well, aside from that, I don't know how many Celebrity episodes you've got or not, but I'm looking forward to seeing more episodes of classic Millionaire!
It almost seems like Duchovny is getting a little bit ticked that Regis called him MULDER like 5 times and then razzed him for being in a terrible movie? *below the belt* lol
I remember my mother and brother were talking about this episode and they thought David Duchovny was being a jerk when he asked Regis if they could turn off the suspense music.
As much as Duchovny was at fault for answering a question FOR CHARITY valued so highly so quickly, Regis shouldn't have been so quick to ask "final answer."
18:14 *REGIS PHILBIN: WITNESS!* *ALICIA KHENG: OHHHHHH!!! 😲* *RYDER: OH NO! DAVID DUCHOVNY FAILS AT THE FOURTH LEVEL!* 😱 *REGIS PHILBIN: It was, witness!* *LEVEL 4 ($500,000): DAVID DUCHOVNY vs RYAN CHAR (FAILED)*
At the time, some celebrities still were unfortunately political such as Lewinsky (part of a presidential scandal) and Maher (who I found out had a late night show on ABC at the time).

David‘s laugh is so beautiful and contagious
18:11 "Sorry it was Witness."
"Oh..."
"Ohh!!"
"It was Witness."
Knowing Hank Moody, I'm not surprised he was the first to win the fastest finger contest
He lost $218,000 ouch
@fornitegood122jr That was too bad for Duchovny. I wished he became a half a millionaire. But he was such a great contestant no matter what. 👍

A very noble charity especially for a celebrity
But his net worth is 80$ millions so…
David really is cool! Knowledgeable and cool.
Absolutely agree with you 💯
I remember laughing at the celebrity edition. Nobody was taking it serious. All in good fun! lol
SO handsome!
David goes well with that Spooky music 😄
Yeah, even Gillian Anderson would find that hilarious.
@@usamazahid3882SPOOKY DUCHOVNY MULDER 😂
He always looks really handsome but for some reason I find him so attractive here
I agree. Maybe because he isn't being Mulder. Mulder always looks worried/concerned/puzzled, but David is happy and exudes sexuality.
I never realized this before, but the theme music of Who Wants to be a Millionaire sounds sort of like an upbeat rendition of the X-Files theme.
I remember watching this and being amazed and yet stunned as well that he seemed so calm winning $250,000, and then just blew it all away the next question.
he was on cocaine 100%
he could easily make up the 218k out of his own pocket for the charity, and I'm sure he did
@@markymark443 Why would you think something so stupid? He's not giving Away 200k
@@jjmcwill1881
Because celebs have matched what they got up to when they lost before dumbass.

I could not love Regis more what a WONDERFUL,WONDERFUL MAN!!!!
I remember watching this when it first aired only for David 🌹and I didn’t bother with anyone else lol
18:15 Before Kati Knudsen endured that loss!
Thanks so much! I've been waiting to see this for a long time.
No problem, man! I know the feeling… I've wanted to see these as long as you!
Thanks for watching

@@curtisblevins1462 If you look at my videos you'll find mick foley and meredith viera
This episode was way back in May of 2000.. Almost 20 years ago!
yes, he was still married here....
in a few months it'll be a quarter of a century ago now...
I've been looking for this forever. I didn't remember him messing up! Also, WOW that was a AAA celebrity lineup at thetime!
It almost seems like Duchovny is getting a little bit ticked that Regis called him MULDER like 5 times and then razzed him for being in a terrible movie? *below the belt* lol
It also seems like Regis is annoyed with him too
Omg ya. Regis is always annoying... He didn't "get" DDs subtle humour, dry wit and funny sarcasm. David is great!
The other contestants started looking intimidated as David got more higher and higher up the ranks.
Only to win $32,000.
The Duomo question is easy if you remember THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS (1991).
Tea leoni is so funny!
ofcourse he's gonna call his wife when it comes to architecture
Where did that first bit come from with Dana Carvey? Love it!
He really screwed everything in the end 😂😂😂
lol "Ray told me to lose"
I remember my mother and brother were talking about this episode and they thought David Duchovny was being a jerk when he asked Regis if they could turn off the suspense music.
that was clearly a joke
They were not really wrong 😂
When it’s a high echelon of money never go with the obvious answer.
Where can I find the full episode of Dana carvey as Regis Philbin?
Were you able to find the episode?
RIP Regis Philbin
Dana Carveys Regis Philbin impression is hilarious
Dana Carvey stealing the show. I hope he gets to play! I’m on the first of several of these so we will see lol
Oh DAMN! 18:15
As much as Duchovny was at fault for answering a question FOR CHARITY valued so highly so quickly, Regis shouldn't have been so quick to ask "final answer."
If only he did that for Norm Macdonald
What should he have done? Wait? What for if he didn't know the answer anyway...
What I marvel at and envy is his ability to make a decision so swiftly
@@juwija why envy it if it cost the charity $218k?
Charities are a scam, so who cares? 95% of donations can AND ARE applied to ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS. Please, PLEASE, quit being so naive!
@@annandrus3030 it didn't cost anything, the charity remains the same.
I'd like to know the Regis impersonator on the very beginning of the episode. Unless it IS Dana Carvey.
Haha it doesn't say on the tape, but that's *definitely* Dana Carvey
Yep...it *is* Dana Carvey...I have a newspaper article about it.
Dana Carvey's intro stint is kinda making me think of Pistachio Disguisey as Regis.
9:12 LOL
I said that once when I was in the hot seat at the old Disney attraction, but I think the host/audience thought I was being serious...oops!
Kathie Lee Gifford, Rosie O Donnell's full, Dana Carvey's, Vanessa Williams' run got deleted by copyright.

21:20 . 0% "im gonna go with C"
Hey, WWTBAMC, what happens when the lights go down after celebrities reach $32k?
They're on their own with no other celebrities to help them
Dana: LET’S PLAY!
Regis: WHOEE YA DOING?
Dana: You. LET’S PLAY!
10:20
“I’m gonna say C.”
What year was this ?
This was back in May of 2000, over 20 yrs ago now, wow!
Téa Leoni sounds shockingly akin to Rosie O, here 😮❤❤
He is smarter than everyone in the room!
David seems like he has had attitude and I like Regis a nice guy
19:03
HEY I LIVE IN EL PASO
Why do i am watching this
How/where do you find these ?
They're pretty tough to find. I think most US millionaire TH-cam uploads come from recorded episodes on a VHS
@@WWTBAMclassics vhs tapes with stuff from 90s american tv are worth their weight in gold
@@WWTBAMclassics what airdate is that?
leads to his seat
I think Mr. Duchovny got overconfident and tried to rush through his $500,000 question, and I think that's why he lost $218,000.
What a jerk 😁
5:33 🐔 🐓 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
5:35 🐔🐓🤧🤣🤣🤣🤣
5:37 🐓🐔🤧🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wow, last question was a movie quote, and I KNEW the answer.
Ridiculous to gamble the charity money away. He had already pushed it.
Who was that at the beginning of the video lol
Dana Carvey, who was impersonation Regis (late reply but i guess you are still wondering)
Why does David keep looking back at audience? Is he shy or what?
18:06 Regis goaded David into losing the money. He should have been more measured and slow
rip regis philbin
18:14
*REGIS PHILBIN: Sorry, WITNESS!*
*ALICIA KHENG: OH!!!! 😱*
*CONAN EDOGAWA: Sorry, you lost $218,000!*
*DAVID DUCHOVNY FAILS AT LEVEL FOUR!*
Regis’ voice sounds like what most midgets would sound like if they weren’t midgets.
i have seen duomo in Milan, not Florence..
The Duomo is in Florence, not Milan.
18:13
Sorry it was Witness.
Braveheart was wrong movie
@@seagaterehab3755 I honestly figured that Braveheart was wrong. It sounded too obvious.
Mel Gibson was not in witness
@@seagaterehab3755 I know.
Неужели на 15 вопросов ответит будем кулачки держать
I know its for charity but come on 🤤😨😲 $250.000 to $32.000 🤔
0:39
True Duchovny is a good actor but he made a mistake risking $218,000 and walking away with 32 grand.
He wastes ATA, doesn't even reach out for a free clue, one of the other celebs is saying Think but he starts an ATA already
I live for 11:04
Back when celebrities were fun and cool and not political
At the time, some celebrities still were unfortunately political such as Lewinsky (part of a presidential scandal) and Maher (who I found out had a late night show on ABC at the time).
What an idiot, throws away over 200 grand on a guess.
This is what killed WWTBAM. Celebrities instead of real people.
No tension. And boring.
Hey come on now, special editions are really fun :)
and they normally give it to charity
Mind you they made a *college edition*
Woke’s won’t let the word “duh” on tv these days
18:13
Sorry, it was Witness
