WWTBAM - Steve Perry's Run - Part 4

[icebeamsmasher]

Why didn't he use the 50:50 first?

[unknownethnicity]

@icebeamsmasher I was thinking the same thing...

[LolGui]

LOL, some kind of machine.

[singingindark12]

smart guy.. i wish he won million. he solved first 14 questions like nothing then he choked on last question.. like he was driving 100 miles per hour on highway suddenly he saw the stop sign. :-(

[blablabla313313]

The audience is retarded

[fckyoumotherfscker]

im surprised that they are allowed to use internet for phone a friend.

but damn, he shouldn't have wasted time with spelling "maiden name".

[IceveinsProductions]

23? This kid looks 33.

[missingnote]

This plan they had with the phone a friend couldn't possibly have gone worse. Neither was communicating with the other. He should have just said the question first, then the other guy would know exactly how to Google it, maybe Steve could have read the answers while he's doing that, unless he for some reason couldn't spell "Carol Brady". As far as I know, there is no alternate spelling for Carol, so it would have been hard for him to mess that up. What was he doing the whole time?

[Pkftmfw]

@missingnote Yeah that was retarded, as soon as I here the questions on the phone a friend I always google search it to see if the answer shows up in this case I googled "Carol Brady maiden name" got the answer Tyler in 5 seconds. :/

[milnusthegnome]

Down Syndrome

[jeffdadude87]

since he had all three lifelines he should've used the 50:50 before asking the audience.

[AlecBoy006V2]

@jeffdadude87 Not always. It could give the audience artificial intelligence. How many people used the audience on their million dollar question but the majority turn out to be wrong? The audience really does little to no good in the last stage of the game unless your name is Bernie Cullen.

[AlecBoy006V2]

Did anybody else notice this? So John Carpenter, David Goodman and Steve Perry are the only three guys to take all three lifelines to the Million Dollar question. Did you notice the answer was B for all three guys? Go figure.

[AlecBoy006V2]

My favorite half million dollar winner definitely.

[MistrEgg]

All the million dollar questions seem to relate to stupid tv shows. That's dumb.

[RadioLaPrincess]

I know that question and when I saw that question I kept yelling "It's Tyler, Franklin is Sam's last name".

I don't know if that means I am smart or way obsessed about the Brady Bunch, perhaps both.

[RoughshodElm]

That sucks his stupid friend... asking him how to spell maiden... I'd be so pissed

[Jerid543]

Man thats gotta be the hardest million dollar question on WWTBAM. That question is basically episode specific to The Brady Bunch

[beastboyd77]

Wow, mike leece happens to have two friends who win money on WWTBAM? coincidence? plants? who knows, really interesting shit.

[jboycub7]

geeze, these questions are way to easy, I went through question 14

[LightYagame100000]

he even spelt " NAME " omg ...@ FAIL should have just read the damn question.. what a dummy.

[Mavericks411991]

@LightYagame100000 He spelt "name" so the guy wouldnt thnik he said something that sounds similair like "Fame" or "game"..fucking idiot.

[LightYagame100000]

@Mavericks411991 maiden FAME ? maiden GAME ? are you retarded ?

[faidley79]

fucking dumbass lifeline



[GunsFuture]

Such a stupid question.... Seriously since when TV series are considered intelligence knowledge?

[alexnzxVersion2]

@GunsFuture the show isnt about intelliegence knowledge, it is just a quiz.

[AdasiekkkTrzeci]

That Phone-a-Friend was 27 seconds!! What the buck??

[beastboyd77]

@AdasiekkkTrzeci "fast 30 seconds"

[inuyashaslvr]

That is not the journey singer ppl same name tho

[nickrulez809765]

when it said steve perry i thought it was the guy from journey

[mohdban]

He failed when he spelled the question, he could have just read it to his friend and he would have been able to type it down and get the answer.

[highidentity]

O my God, he should use 50:50 first, it would made so much easier to audience to his friend and to him !!!

And he might have high chance to win a milion!!!

[hallpriest9]

The 50:50 should have left Martin, not Franklin. Martin was Carol's first married name (and Marcia, Jan, and Cindy's original name); Nelson is Alice's last name, and Franklin is Sam's last name.

[psu52545]

@hallpriest9 its random

[hoyle1911]

Too bad this smart guy didn't think to queue up a friend with broadband and google. There's no rule against searching on the net.

[beastboyd77]

@hoyle1911 he did, this is the second time "mike leece" was called upon in a phone a friend segment, look up phone a friend uses the internet, its in the video queue

[Zarmwhirl]

Having seen so many of these, I'm convinced Ask the Audience is best used on retarded niche current-gen pop culture questions. It seems anything hard enough to make it into the last five (with some exceptions) is way too hard for the average schmuck.

[BlackStalion116]

@Zarmwhirl

true.

[yujonez74]

i lold so hard at when he used the 50/50 his eyes widened so much lol!

[EltBerserker]

wait a minute, he's a law student at university of virginia, my mistake he doesn't have downs syndrome

[jaresafan11]

If he watched the pilot of "The Brady Bunch," he would have known the answer. That's too bad.

I love The Brady Bunch!

[heyayayaaa]

my favourite contestant by far

[mark1295]

@heyayayaaa how bout charles ingram? lol

[freand80]

i was going to quess for tyler ;p

[nlafavore]

I just don't know why Steve doesn't like to talk about "Millionaire".

[slushypuppies]

not bad, but Joe carpenter is more fun to watch D:

[Mayomann13]

what an idiot you are supposed to do 50/50 first...

[nlafavore]

Well, regardless, he was indeed a great contestant.

[Mayomann13]

ya, it would not have changed anything because the audience obviously had no idea...

[yujonez74]

@Mayomann13 i don't think ur allowed to

[DiamondWarrior]

I would have 50/50'd, asak the audience, then phoned a friend, but i can see where you are coming from about the audience just guessing with 2 answers available.

[PunkRockPat420]

3:30

"was he going to enter that into some kind of machine?" ROFL my god Regis is a fucking tool.

[reddawn82]

LMAO HE GRABBED THE 500k check at the beggining and regis took it away ROFL !

[Zvonok]

Yeah, it was a very difficult question for a million dollars. I would've used a phone friend first, and actually call someone who might know the answer. Then, I'd do a 50/50 on it to see if my friend was right. Finally I would ask the audience. That would give audience all kinds of time to think about it.

[893160007]

use 50/50 first it narrows the odds

[SuperGoldfish1999]

His accent is common for the Washington, D.C. area

[ub3raddict]

yeah should have used 50 50 first

[greekpaint08]

what an idiot when he used his lifelines in that order!!!

[goblinarits]

This guy fucked up when he said lets play it smart i thought right away he was gonna use the 50/50 first and then ask the audience and just for 100% to be sure as a friend it would be easier with 2 answers only and he would get it but he played it dumb so he desrved to loose it

[l1n1ck004]

thats what i thought to. it would have been a lot easier that way

[PhxRemind]

So you say that Perry who went through 14 questions that you didnt know without a lifeline is playing it dumb when he asks first then does a 50/50. Well when you 50/50 first, the audience only has 2 answers and those that have no idea will just guess which then throws off the %. If you ask first, the ones who know will give the right answer and the ones who dont know have more answers to choose from to guess which spreads out the votes.

[LeroyRifkin]

@PhxRemind your logic is correct--but the audience had no clue anyway so it wouldn't have mattered

[spokmage]

pretty cool that he has the same name as the guy from journey!

[phxsns1]

John Carpenter, too! Same as the director.

[hanzszs]

Hahaha, Regis, "He was trying to enter it into some kind of machine?" LOL Ahh humanity's baby steps into the 21st century.

[adi1096]

Whoa that zoom quakity on teh video camera is amazing at the begganing I was like WTF

[ChiSportsNut18]

Normally it would be practically impossible for a 23-year old to get a Brady Bunch question like this correct. But had Steve used his lifelines in a different order- 50-50, ATA, and then PAF (using it more wisely then he did), there should be reason that he shouldn't have gotten this right.

[Sashinator0]

There are arguments for taking 50:50 or audience first. In this case, asking with 4 answers proved that the audience really had no clue, asking with 2 gives you a false sense of audience intelligence.

[hanzszs]

50-50 might have helped. Some of the audience might have known that Franklin was Sam the Butcher's last name, but then just made a blind guess as to which of the other three it might have been (note that Franklin is the 2nd lowest percentage, meaning perhaps that at least some were steering clear of that answer.)

[whatalil]

if he were playing it smart hed have done 50 50 first

[TlGBC]

he so should've used the 50:50 before the audience lifeline

[TlGBC]

wow the audience tried to josh him out of the million. its 33-34, and 19-14

[namdor11]

mayb they just didnt know pal

[TlGBC]

naw

[JohnTatterfield]

thats not cheating, they never said you cant do that

[VerifyThis999]

I was really surprised when he just blatantly admitted that he got his friend to search for him, surely that's cheating?

Also, he used his lifelines in the wrong order, first should been 50-50

[Bozewani]

What an EVIL question,even for a million

[baconhead2008]

"Some kind of machine." Regis is so funny.

[Keeryen]

I cracked up when he said that.

[coldassassin99]

That guy was just a genius. I thought he was going to be the next John Carpenter.

[ulsbolde89]

He cost himself a million because of his naivety, but on the other hand, because if he answered, he would've lost $468,000, he's in pretty good shape.

[gmt921]

He didn't need to spell out "Carol Brady" and "maiden name" on the Phone-A-Friend. That could've given his friend a little more time to think.

[ATMfromNJ]

You are so right! I think he is great, but why didn't he trust his friend a little more.

[wazmaster5794]

0:22 lol

[sanoe2lake]

cheating bitch

[Dudedafool]

He could have won this easy, shoulda 50/50, then asked the audience, then phone a friend to be sure.

[eohkelvin]

thats what i was thinking

[stringbean1212]

should of done 50 50 then ask the audience

[HelmondS]

why? apparently 85 percent of the audience didn't know the correct answer on this one.

[ChiSportsNut18]

Steve Perry cost himself $500,000. Then again, he was probably pretty stressed out.

[Wh01zLucKY]

1:45 HAHAHAHAHA OWNED!!

[adi1096]

If the computer's 50 : 50 took off A or C but not both then he would have chosen the wrong answer

[ChiSportsNut18]

yeah, probably. I guess it could be considered a blessing in disguise that the 50/50 had taken off both of those.

[yoda124]

carol brady maiden name.That's all he had to say.Spelling it confused the hell out of him.Looks like he wasn't so smart after all.

[candyglop388]

Is he married to Katy Perry?

[woolander0]

This guy likes to cheat though

[woolander0]

skyisfelling STFU brady bunch sucks

[skyisfelling]

EVERYONE knows the Brady Bunch, whoever doesn't is an idiot. And by that i'm obv talking about the spelling, not the show itself. All he had to do was tell his friend to search for carol brady's maiden name, he didnt need to spell it out like that but i guess his friend was a moron. Either way that kind of sucked for him because it sounded like a fairly easy question, not something like quantum physics.

[bsharpinLondon]

I don't think that answer is correct. Tyler was the name of the kids too which means it was the surname of the man she was married to. If someon knows better let me know.

[lzcougarz3]

Who's the guy who blazed through 14 questions and used the phone-a-friend on the million dollar question to tell his mom he was a millionaire?

[gabster3188]

John Carpenter

[peterh4u]

That was the 1st million dollar Joh Carpenter and he told his Dad that he was going to be a millionaire

[Zvonok]

All you have to do is google "Carol Brady's maiden name" in the search and the answer is right there. It doesn't take long to type it up.

[Sashinator0]

try that with dialup in 2001.

[Zvonok]

Sashinator0,

You are absolutely right, I forgot about the dial up. It was very slow....They didn't have the high speed internet back in 01.

[Zvonok]

However, I mean, a college student who was trying to google it couldn't spell a maiden name. That took like 10 seconds.

[promontorium]

These guys are so retarded. Maiden name "uh could you spell that" Yeah, the internet won't help you kids. People need to stop calling Mike Leese.

[DMK000]

He would have done better if he used the 50-50first.

[pilarp23]

I think his approach was better-with all 4 answers still on board he could check if the audience really knew the answer or if they voted more or less randomly. As he could see later, most people voted for 2 wrong answers, the correct one got the smallest amount of votes, so the audience did NOT know the answer. Imagine what would have happened if, after 50:50, with only 2 options left, 70% of the audience had randomly chosen Franklin and Steve would have followed that...

[pilarp23]

I know he's very smart (he still had all lifelines for his final question). All I say is that he wasted a lot of time by reading the question in such an unusual way and that WAS stupid and pointless. You're right-even full 30 seconds is very little time and might have not been enough for his friend to find the answer, but we'll never know that for sure, because the question wasn't read properly. 5 more seconds might have given him twice as much as he won. Then he could blame no one but himself.

[gameshowkid222]

No kids, because if the audience has no idea then it's not going to make a difference. Also Don't you think that this guy is a bit smarter than you?????

[pilarp23]

I thought this guy was smart, but he acted like an idiot while using his last lifeline, he simply wasted it. I don't know what he wanted to gain by spelling the question-he only confused his friend. If he had read it normally, it would've taken less than ten seconds and there was a chance to "google" the answer in twenty seconds. Frankly, I doubt if his friend understood the question read that odd way. Because he did what he did, he probably lost half a million.

[Tymetwister]

yeah, the spelling out of the words killed him. name... n-a-m-e?? c'mon!

From the get-go, he shoulda been like, "Mike, on the Brady Bunch, what's Carol Brady's maiden name, Tyler or Franklin?" by the time he actually told his friend the 2 choices, there was less than ten seconds left on the clock. :\

[jewishhat]

lol regis.. "some kind of machine"

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

I know you probably get a lot of requests, but if you could find Armand Kachigian, Jim Matthews, Justin Ray Castillo, Joe Kelleher and Mike Menz's runs, would you please post those, because I would like to see them? Looking forward to more great vids of Armand Kachigian, Jim Matthews, Justin Ray Castillo, Joe Kelleher and Mike Menz's runs, because I want to see what it's like when the win $500,000 as they go for the million, are you ever going to post those, because I'd like to see them?

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

I know you probably get a lot of requests, but if you could find Armand Kachigian, David Stewart, Jim Matthews, Justin Ray Castillo, Joe Kelleher and Mike Menz's runs, would you please post those, because I would like to see them?

[Woohoo5241]

LOl the guy's name is Steve Perry? That's the name of the singer of the band Journey.

[TJHillard]

lol i know thats why i clicked that video.

[Zanzulfanten]

Lol @ the failure audience

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

I know you probably get a lot of requests, but if you could find Joe Kelleher and Armand Kachigian's run, would you please post them? I know you probably get a lot of requests, but if you could find Joe Kelleher and Armand Kachigian's runs, would you please post those?

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

CONTESTANT: Joe Kelleher WIN: $500,000$500,000: McCaughey

WAGER: Pluto

FASTEST FINGER

Gene Rayburn

[stevemahne]

smart thing is 50/50 first than audience then phone a friend

[dnay292]

exactly what i was gonna say

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

I know you probably get a lot of requests, but if you could find Armand Kachigian's run, would you please post it?

[COWBOYMACLEOD]

I know you probably get a lot of requests, but if you could find Tom O'Brien, Jim Matthews, and Armand Kachigian's runs, would you please post those?

[kimonji]

stupid audience

[Boomshoggalogga]

It's better that you don't win the million because the government will be on your ass like stink on shit.

[Sashinator0]

and if you win $500K, they will still be on your ass like stink on shit

[Boomshoggalogga]

Haha that is very good point, Sashinator. Government is very dangerous organization.

[youvebeenthunderstru]

...LOL

I thought it was actua- oh, forget it. You were thinking the same fucking thing I was thinking, forget it.

[Kazu0100]

apparently back then the person on the phone was allowed to look the answer up on the internet. I'm not sure if you still can, though.

[conicsonic5]

This guy has to be an Aerosmith fan.

Steven Tyler + Joe Perry

[CityofButterfly]

Not necessarily, people don't pick their own names, unless they legally change them.

[PODAngelsFan]

Or a Journey fan, since Steve Perry was their lead singer.

[sfrye4]

but remember this was in 2001, so the guy on the phone probably had a really slow internet connection. i think he had already entered the search when the time expires

[bexlions135]

Noice!

[wing2871x]

why would such a smart guy be spelling out maiden name and carol brady? and how in the hell couldnt the guy know the spelling? that was a shockingly poor strategy. oh well. great contestant otherwise.

[bloodangle666]

i knew it was tylar

that is a rilly easy question

[PODAngelsFan]

Not for a guy that can't spell *coughbloodangle666cough*

[bloodangle666]

i mabe this account when i was young ' leave me alone.

[tuoljg]

omg that phone a friend just cost him a half million dollars.. i tried the google search and typed in : carol bradys maiden name and got tyler instantly, man if that dude been a little bit faster typer he would have won a million!

[Cubameriguense]

mike is a fag lmao

[otooleta]

you can use google as phone a friend?? really!!!

[VideoSuperMaster]

Phone-a-friend is such a useless lifeline. The people they call almost never know the answer.

[missingnote]

It's worse when the friend doesn't even give an answer. It often goes in this order: *reads q

[missingnote]

(I missed a key and accidentally posted, continued) *reads question and answers*, "What were the choices?" *reads choices again*, (friend repeats choices out loud), *contestant reads question again quickly, says 5 seconds*, (silence), *time up*

[peterh4u]

Very smart guy to get to that position.

[davidlee110]

of i was him

ill go for it

[Zebisnz]

Wow excellent!.... I'm born 78' but not that smart!...

Would have been better to ask the audience after the 50/50 (at least the audience only has to pick from 2).... but the outcome probably would have been the same.

[XxFIawLESSxX]

Than the people that didnt know the answer would have a bigger chance at picking the wrong answer with the deuce 50s (50 50)

[RiotRanger]

wow openly cheating, i know most people do that / have a bunch of people listening in, but god

[cjcookie]

its not cheating, the person on the other end of the line has the authority to do whatever he wishes within the 30 seconds.

[XxFIawLESSxX]

Agreed videos on youtube show him openly telling him to look it up and Regis doesnt stop them.

[skooler44]

I actually knew the answer to this, I heard it somewhere from one of my friends.

[djw4215]

Steven and his brother Joe went to school with my kids at Brookwood School in Thomasville, GA. They are both very, very smart and really nice guys. We were so excited when Steve was on Millionaire! We had heard that he won $1 million on an online trivia game before he went on Millionaire - way to go Steven :) Congrats!

[5ptCALVIN]

this dude is really smart , shown by the plan to have his man Google it HATS OFF !

[fromdaeastbay]

holy shit. this guy looks like jake gyllenhaal

[brtdud7]

oh my god. regis. "are you typing it in to some kind of machine?" that is the greatest thing i have ever heard!!!!!!

[Nquizitiv1]

$500,000 is more money than I would have ever won! Good work Steve! Best of luck to you on those books too!

[bushmen123]

Not to sounds retarded and not knowing the inside deals Millionaire does, (if they have any lil inside shinanigans) but it seems (as im a game player for fun) that when u have every lifeline till the big bucks, that they will all work against you,,audience will vote equal wrongs, and 50/50 of course will go against that,im pretty sure u can, wat i woulda done was 50/50..Then audience on such an in-depth question, but hey he made the right move there and wasnt too greedy.

[Sashinator0]

ABC doesn't pay out the big winners, they have an insurance policy. Trust me, they would've loved Steve to win the million for ratings

[polymorphic123]

how do you know, sashinator? sources please.

[ricepaddy69]

OH STEVE! You shouldn't have spelled out "Carol Brady" or "maiden name". That ate up SO MUCH time. You would have had $1 million, I think.

[bender2004]

Haha, tried to type it in quick. Good strategy though.

[bender2004]

Good "God-Damnit" look

[SamuraiSam]

I agree. That seemed rather foolish to me how he used it second.

[RomeijnLand]

That's right.

David Goodman also had 3 lifelines on the 15th question, used his 50:50 first, and won a million dollars.

[huggyface]

Yes, but what pissed me off about Goodman's use of LL's was that he admitted knowing the answer to the question about Paddington Bear...and just did the 3 LL's for fun. Come up with something original David don't try to copy John Carpenter's playful use of the lifeline on the big one...David should've just answered his question sans lifelines, period. Dipshit.

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

So what was his question?

[huggyface]

What country was the storybook character Paddington Bear from? Peru
