I am on the 2nd Team....what a ride! Totally scared to death before going on stage until the Lord told me, "Just go out there and HAVE FUN!" Great team and Chuck Woolery is a genuine professional.
Hey, Tina! What exactly were you so afraid of? Being challenged to a Terminator match? I'm pretty sure the answer to this next question is gonna be no in case of future contestants sharing the same first name as you but as a souvenir, did they let you keep your name badge? Out of curiosity, since this episode aired originally on March 31, 2000 on Fox, do you remember exactly when this episode was taped? As for the Qualifying Round, did they let you guys just stand wherever you wanted or were there assigned positions? Sorry for bombarding you with millions of questions. Greed is my all-time favorite game show and i would've loved to have been a contestant except i was only like 9 when this was on Fox and was way too young anyway. BTW i'm sorry your skirt fell down in the middle of the job interview; that had to take a lot of ovaries to tell Chuck about that experience on national television, i couldn't do it but that's just me, haha. Still, congratulations on the $40k win! PS - last question, promise! Did you enjoy watching your episode on Fox and seeing it again on Game Show Network?
AnnaLoveberryBabycakes: Thanks for reaching out and I certainly don't mind the questions. My adrenaline was thru the roof to meet the challenge ahead and I didn't want the world to see how smart I was not (just another dumb blonde syndrome). For strategy purposes, I didn't want to be the Terminator or the Captain. However, I wanted to appear confident enough to ensure my longevity. No, we didn't get to keep our name badges. But I did make a copy of the Check! The producers determined where we stood for the qualifying round... probably based on what would look good on camera. From that point, your ranking was based on your answer to the question. I was absolutely thrilled to see our episode on this TH-cam channel. It was filmed on 03/03/2000...the very day my soon-to-be adopted daughter was being born. God had put on my heart to adopt two children. And that whole process costs a lot more money than I ever made. But He found a way to make it happen....and our two awesome kids came home, and are now in college. Thank God! Oh, your other comment about my skirt...yeah, that was a little crazy. Thanks again for your interest and the chance to relive one of my most memorable events. God bless you!
@@Ace.of.Rage. Very astute, Troy! In my younger years, I always watched the pageants on TV. In the late 70s, I needed scholarship money and an opportunity to work in front of the camera. So, I entered Miss Maine USA (semifinalist), which goes on to Miss USA & Miss Universe; Miss Maine World ( 3rd place, which goes to Miss America World, then Miss World); and finally, Miss Florida (semifinalist). At only 5'3", never formally trained, and a tight budget, the competition overwhelmed my chances. I won Miss Personality twice and had a fun time with all the gals. Fortunately, I met Miss Universe, Margaret Gardner from South Africa. She stood 6'2", was the epitome of grace, charm and intelligence. At our meet & greet, she memorized each one of our first names..there must have been at least 30 ladies. She seemed like a true Princess. Thanks for bringing me down memory lane. I went on to work in TV & Film for many, many years. Yes, I really did own an Event Planning/Entertainment Co. Thanks again for your comment!
@@TinaStMarie You are welcome. I was a fan of the Greed game show. Some of the questions are timeless and contemporary. Unfortunately game shows are borderline extinct and the ethereal aura of it only exists in past game shows. To your segment, I think you would have gotten it if you had went for it. You and the captain were fair game.😎
@@arcanesylph1344 Really? You think so? Your interpretation i guess but i'm sure i'm not in the minority when i say the dramatic wrong answer sound is scarier.
This show is straight out of my childhood. I love it so much and remember being sad to see it prematurely go off the airwaves. As a child I never really paid all that much attention to game shows except for Chuck's other show Wheel of Fortune and the PRIMETIME version of Millionaire. WWTBAMclassics if you happen upon anymore episodes of Greed, please do upload them. I'm sure I'm not in the minority when I say i love this show so much.
I think my favorite part of Greed is the Freebie. It's so damn useless most of the time and it just lulls the captain into a false sense of security. Absolutely genius.
I knew I recognized him. I was scrolling down the comments to find out where he was from and then it clicked haha. Beat the Geeks was such a great show. I remember when the Kiss geek dominated.
3:19 Relax, Cindy, they'd usually edit that kind of stuff out before they air it on television anyway... lol 6:54 Interestingly, i vaguely recall there being a contestant who sank down below the podium in misery after losing a question. Granted, i thought it was after getting three right. But then again it might be in another episode, who knows? EDIT: 12:16 LOL I wonder if the woman who asked Jason how to use her cell phone as the mouse happens to be watching this and is probably thinking to herself, "Yeah, he was talking about me," lol 28:53 You can tell Chuck was trying to hint at Tara to change the answer. Too bad she didn't take the hint. He tried to do the same thing at 6:08 too. 38:57 I remember that question. I remember back in 2002 when I was in fifth grade, I saw this question one night on GSN. I also remember a Black woman in red and her 41:50 reaction to macadamia nuts being wrong. The next morning we had school, I asked my friend on the back of the school bus if she saw Greed that night and telling her about the last $200K question about nuts.
Does ANYONE know of the episode with the question about the most popular ice cream topping where it turns out PINEAPPLE is bought more than wet nut? Ive been trying to find it for years.
Well now I indeed know that no one gets a buyout unless they have at least three correct answers which I presumed all along. And they always reveal all of the correct answers before any incorrect ones
Shame it was axed in 2001. Which started Fox's four year long "We don't know what we are doing" phase. Where they axed shows THAT WAS DOING WELL and greenlighting really really bad ideas. And as a Brit. I'm actually impressed the Americans did actually make a show that wasn't a knock off of Millionaire.
Actually Greed was abruptly cancelled in July 2000 (not 2001) after a 44-epsode run and it was because Fox got a new president that summer who didn't like game shows and wanted the network to focus on more "scripted" programming.
the $500,000 question on television i thought for sure i was right on the dot i got 3 out of 4 my answers were 1. Fonzie's jacket 2. Archie bunkers chair 3. Barney miller's badge 4. Jeannie's bottle i knew it wasn't Carson's desk cause his desk is so big i don't think they would not have room to put it in the Smithsonian and i knew it wasn't Lawrence Welk's accordion cause i don't think anyone was a fan of his i was a huge fan of Lawrence welk and i honestly did not think mr rogers sweater was one of the answers cause his show did not end until 2001 1 year later
They have a nearly 40 foot long steam locomotive on display in the same building as Archie's chair, and in other buildings they have the Discovery space shuttle and a Concorde which is over 200 feet long, and hundreds of other airplanes. Trust me, they have room for Carson's desk.
My answers were Archie Bunker's Chair Fonzie's Leather Jacket Mr. Rogers' Sweater and Johnny Carson's Desk I didn't think it was Jeanie's Bottle or Lawrence Welk's Accordion. The other answer that I had thoughts about was Barney Miller's Badge.
@@robbyosborne9708Also for the following 2 Questions, I would have guessed the following 4. On display at the Smithsonian 1: Mister Rogers’ Sweater 2: B. Miller’s Badge 3: Fonzie’s Jacket 4: Carson’s Desk TV Star Theme Song 1: Carroll O’Connor 2: Kelsey Grammar 3: Cybill Shepherd 4: Roseanne
I like how in this episode, on stage the lights are dimmer and the set is darker compared to other episodes. I like it but it's kind of difficult to see certain things.
It certainly created an ambience of mystery, anticipation, and (in my case) dread or impending disaster. I truly felt like I wasn't going to make it to the stage. The P.A.s job was to keep us breathing in from the nose and out through the mouth to steady our nerves. Kudos to the production team...they did a great job!
@@TinaStMarie Before you got on stage, did you notice the set looking darker than what you were used to seeing on TV in prior episodes? I remember seeing this episode years ago on GSN but i didn't remember seeing it with its lights so dim and dark. Having first watched this around the time this was posted i couldn't tell if the television this was recorded on was on low color settings or the set itself was actually like that at the time your episode was taped... maybe the management at whatever studio this was taped on couldn't afford to have ALL the lights on set turned on because of the high prize payouts.😂😂🤣😆
@@hiltonlive32grnrngr Hi Anna... I honestly don't remember anything about the lights, except that the sights and sounds were ominous. Strangely enough, I think I watched only one episode before our taping. Never even saw the show before my audition. The producer was appalled, asking why I was there. My answer:, "To make money!" I thought for sure they wouldn't select me after that. Surprise!
That was Really Stupid that Pistachios wasn’t chosen as a Popular Nut, along with Walnuts, Almonds, & Pecans. I guess those 4 Losers didn’t know that Pistachio is a Very Popular Ice Cream Flavor, which would’ve made me go that route to $200K
Question to anyone watching this (spoilers below) What show did David Hasselhoff sing the theme to? From what I recall, Baywatch is just shots of everyone running on the beach with "I'm Always Here" playing, and Knight Rider didn't have a song, it was just a narration with the KITT theme?
I think you might've just answered your own question. Amazingly, Google was no help in my journey to find the answer to this question. I went to the "Soundtracks" section on his IMDB.com page looking for any pre-2000 shows he may've sang for. Now here's where things get interesting, I then went to Baywatch's IMDB page, and according to that, he did sing "Current of Love" which DID serve as the ending theme for Season 3 as did "I Believe" and he DID have a starring role on Baywatch and Knight Rider (which he also did sing on but only 4 songs over 2 episodes). After all the question didn't ask for actors/actresses who sang the OPENING theme to a show they starred in, just as long as they sang an opening or closing theme song i guess is what the producers or whoever wrote the question was going for.
@@hiltonlive32grnrngrI didn’t think CLOSING THEME songs! I just assumed he sang the opening at some point during the show’s run!! PLUS, I knew which 2 WEREN’T the right answers
They always had a third team ready to go if there was time to start them. I don't know if that ever happened. And there were two alternate players just in case one of the primary players fainted, got sick, freaked out, or whatever, before going on stage.
@@TinaStMarie Contestants getting sick or fainting seemed to have been more common than i realize. From what i vaguely recall hearing, the episode from November 11, 1999 had a woman named Jackie in the $50,000 seat who fainted off-camera after her team successfully won the $500,000 question. After they checked her out and made sure she was okay, they decided to continue taping the episode, but that's probably how she was challenged then eliminated by Curtis Warren in the Terminator before the $1 million question. Now I'm thinking if she would've had to go to the hospital or something they probably would've had to have someone take her place and re-tape that team's whole run... either that or wait until she got better to resume taping it lol
@@vikingsallday005 I'm not entirely certain I agree with all that. I'm a HUGE fan of Greed and it's my all-time favorite of all game shows. Believe me. But I'm not all that crazy about the Qualifying Question for two reasons 1.) The people closest to the correct answer may or may not be all that knowledgeable about the subject matter of the QQ but that doesn't mean they know the answers to the Tower of Greed questions and 2.) I don't like the fact that out of six people, there's the one who doesn't get to play. Sure, there were past QQ losers who got a second shot and wound up getting on a team the second time around but a good few of them aren't so lucky to get a second chance. But then again the episodes without the Qualifying Question and how the teams were assembled without kind of makes me imagine if those teams were made up with it, but nonetheless, I'm personally glad the Losers' night episode, the 5 Super Greed episodes, as well as the last 5 episodes of the show got rid of the Qualifying Question. Imagine if the July 14 episode (the last ep.) was still using the QQ, with the last team the person who didn't make the team would probably be thinking, "Last team ever of the show and i didn't get to play..." Besides, some of the Qualifying-Question-less episodes saw some big-time wins whereas some episodes that otherwise did had some big-time losses. The episode that ended with the $50k miss on the Radio Flyer question as well as the one that had Dennis and Darrell missing the $25,000 question about which show Chuck did NOT host both had the Qualifying Question... and the latter was show's only ever $25k miss no less.
@@hiltonlive32grnrngr You think it was bad that one constant never got to play on Greed. Just remember many contestants never got into the hot seat on Who Wants to be A Millionaire.
That theme song question was easy! 1. How could you miss Carroll and Jean(may they both RIP) performing the song at the beginning of each episode 2. and even if you didn’t know the other correct answers, you knew which 2 were WRONG! No one sings the Roseanne theme song, and The Family Ties theme song was performed by Johnny Mathis and Deniece Williams
On game 🏟️ 55, the captain 👨✈️ Brent Borchart & Joel Wolf 🐺 go 🚦 home 🏡 with $10,000, but Brian Johnson, Cindy Porter & Kathleen Shea go 🚦 home 🏡 with nothing 😞.
Yes, Paul, was an actor also, as well as the Captain and myself. Not sure of the others. The producers wanted us to use our home towns and a previous/other occupation. Otherwise most contestants would say they lived in LA and they were actors/comics/writers or musicians!
The final $200,000 question on mixed nuts was really tricky but I guessed all 4 answers right but I do feel bad for the team even Todd cause he thought macadamia nuts were more popular than pistachios which I knew they weren’t plus I don’t think macadamia nuts were ever popular back in the day
Yes. There have been numerous teams throughout the shows run that've taken a $20,000 bailout on the $200,000 question. However, there was only one team that bailed out on the $500,000 question with $50,000 and at the end of the Super Greed premiere, John Epperson's team (where it was just him and Lisa Stigers) each bailed out on the $2 million question with a 2000 Jaguar XK8 convertible with I think $75,000 in each trunk.
Well as a viewer you can prefer it for TV (I wouldn't, but I get why you could) but as a participant I can only see this as the show you go for if you fail to get on Millionaire and Jeopardy. Nothing about this is fair to you as a contestant compared to those shows. I'm not sure the most interesting people would end up here. Same with Weakest Link.

After all the question didn't ask for actors/actresses who sang the OPENING theme to a show they starred in, just as long as they sang an opening or closing theme song i guess is what the producers or whoever wrote the question was going for.
@@hiltonlive32grnrngrI didn’t think CLOSING THEME songs! I just assumed he sang the opening at some point during the show’s run!! PLUS, I knew which 2 WEREN’T the right answers
Who the hell would say macadamia nuts is more popular then pistachios?
Hmm... I guess someone who likes macadamia nuts over pistachios lol
Todd, take the money and not risk it!
Not often do you see a “two off”
I think there were at least 5 times where it happened.
They always had a third team ready to go if there was time to start them. I don't know if that ever happened. And there were two alternate players just in case one of the primary players fainted, got sick, freaked out, or whatever, before going on stage.
@@TinaStMarie Contestants getting sick or fainting seemed to have been more common than i realize. From what i vaguely recall hearing, the episode from November 11, 1999 had a woman named Jackie in the $50,000 seat who fainted off-camera after her team successfully won the $500,000 question. After they checked her out and made sure she was okay, they decided to continue taping the episode, but that's probably how she was challenged then eliminated by Curtis Warren in the Terminator before the $1 million question. Now I'm thinking if she would've had to go to the hospital or something they probably would've had to have someone take her place and re-tape that team's whole run... either that or wait until she got better to resume taping it lol
@@robbyosborne9708 it happened 7 times in the show's history. It happened 2 times on the $200,000 and 5 times on the $500,000/$1,000,000 question
@@hiltonlive32grnrngr apparently, Curtis was fishing hard for that money. He thought it was an easy win since she was distracted

Qualifying game eliminated on 4/28/00
But it briefly returned for three episodes starting with the College Rivalry Week episode. After that, THEN it was permanently eliminated.
Anna Loveberry Babycakes 10 of the final 13 episodes did not have the qualifying round.
Which was a terrible decision if you ask me. The quality of the team captains really seemed to diminish after dropping the qualifying question.
@@vikingsallday005 I'm not entirely certain I agree with all that. I'm a HUGE fan of Greed and it's my all-time favorite of all game shows. Believe me. But I'm not all that crazy about the Qualifying Question for two reasons 1.) The people closest to the correct answer may or may not be all that knowledgeable about the subject matter of the QQ but that doesn't mean they know the answers to the Tower of Greed questions and 2.) I don't like the fact that out of six people, there's the one who doesn't get to play. Sure, there were past QQ losers who got a second shot and wound up getting on a team the second time around but a good few of them aren't so lucky to get a second chance. But then again the episodes without the Qualifying Question and how the teams were assembled without kind of makes me imagine if those teams were made up with it, but nonetheless, I'm personally glad the Losers' night episode, the 5 Super Greed episodes, as well as the last 5 episodes of the show got rid of the Qualifying Question. Imagine if the July 14 episode (the last ep.) was still using the QQ, with the last team the person who didn't make the team would probably be thinking, "Last team ever of the show and i didn't get to play..."
Besides, some of the Qualifying-Question-less episodes saw some big-time wins whereas some episodes that otherwise did had some big-time losses. The episode that ended with the $50k miss on the Radio Flyer question as well as the one that had Dennis and Darrell missing the $25,000 question about which show Chuck did NOT host both had the Qualifying Question... and the latter was show's only ever $25k miss no less.
@@hiltonlive32grnrngr You think it was bad that one constant never got to play on Greed. Just remember many contestants never got into the hot seat on Who Wants to be A Millionaire.
That theme song question was easy! 1. How could you miss Carroll and Jean(may they both RIP) performing the song at the beginning of each episode 2. and even if you didn’t know the other correct answers, you knew which 2 were WRONG! No one sings the Roseanne theme song, and The Family Ties theme song was performed by Johnny Mathis and Deniece Williams
On game 🏟️ 55, the captain 👨✈️ Brent Borchart & Joel Wolf 🐺 go 🚦 home 🏡 with $10,000, but Brian Johnson, Cindy Porter & Kathleen Shea go 🚦 home 🏡 with nothing 😞.
Isn't that Paul Goebel from Comedy Central's Beat the Geeks?
Yes. And Andy, the music geek, was also on Greed.
Yes, Paul, was an actor also, as well as the Captain and myself. Not sure of the others. The producers wanted us to use our home towns and a previous/other occupation. Otherwise most contestants would say they lived in LA and they were actors/comics/writers or musicians!
@@WhatsOn427 Andy was on the premiere episode of Greed.
Fun fact: Paul Goebel was on another game show called Ultimate Fan Search, which also happened to be hosted by Chuck Woolery.
@@hiltonlive32grnrngr Really, no wonder he became the TV geek on Beat the Greeks.
No, It is not Betty Crocker.
It's Pillsbury.
The final $200,000 question on mixed nuts was really tricky but I guessed all 4 answers right but I do feel bad for the team even Todd cause he thought macadamia nuts were more popular than pistachios which I knew they weren’t plus I don’t think macadamia nuts were ever popular back in the day
I would’ve gone with Pistachios, because it’s one of my favorite Ice Cream Flavors. Why they didn’t think Outside the Shell is beyond me
I wished they would give out a freebie on every question have a total of 4 freebies from 200k to 2million
That would make it too easy. Remember this is 2M back in 1999-2000. That's was a ton a money back. Still is a lot now.

She made herself look like an idiot with that question
All Tara's fault, because she smiled like she's cute.
Did a team ever take the money when offered after they got 3 out of 4 correct?
Yes. There have been numerous teams throughout the shows run that've taken a $20,000 bailout on the $200,000 question. However, there was only one team that bailed out on the $500,000 question with $50,000 and at the end of the Super Greed premiere, John Epperson's team (where it was just him and Lisa Stigers) each bailed out on the $2 million question with a 2000 Jaguar XK8 convertible with I think $75,000 in each trunk.
@@hiltonlive32grnrngr I remember that one and it was the right call as the last answer was wrong.
@@dvferyance which one?

Betty Crocker

@@andrewbeaudoin7363 well that $100k question Katharyn got was really hard and nearly impossible to get right
I really like the host Chuck, but he was constantly mispronouncing words, flubbing his lines, and getting rules confused lol
Well as a viewer you can prefer it for TV (I wouldn't, but I get why you could) but as a participant I can only see this as the show you go for if you fail to get on Millionaire and Jeopardy. Nothing about this is fair to you as a contestant compared to those shows. I'm not sure the most interesting people would end up here. Same with Weakest Link.
