well, I had no idea on the $250,000, but I knew the $500,000 and the $2.18 million question, surprisingly (of course, without knowing the $250,000, it wouldn't do me any good, lol)
That's the trick and if you ever join the game you should pretend that you're thinking for a while. That gives your friend enough time to find it on google. hehe
It may have helped that he gave his archivist friend a few second to think about it on his own. Sometimes suggesting a name can do a lot to influence one's answer. As it was, he still had more than ten seconds left in the call.
i was looking at your comment b4 i watched it and i was like wot are you on about, then i watched it i no what you mean HAHAAHA LMFAO, he looks like he is going 2 die. his face is priceless
7 1/2 years later the record still stands as the most one in one days worth of game shows. Matthew Sollena almost surpassed it winning three million dollars on DOND five and a half years later since this episode.
Actually, highest win in Daytime (And perhaps of all-time) these days goes to Brad Rutter who beat KenJen in the J! "Ultimate Tournament" in '05, and pocketed another $2Mil (To go with another $1M from a previous tournament, in addition to all previous J! Winnings)
Ken Jennings did beat Brad Rutter's record when he won $500,000 on Are You Smarter Than a Fith Grader. He got to million dollar question right but he didn't risk the half million.
@HBKanedge818 I thought anything KJ won post-Jeopardy went to charities since he became a "celebrity" of sorts afterward (As was the case when he was on "1 vs. 100").
Hi....could someone please tell me why 2,180,000 dollars was the highest and not just 1 million dollars....it seems to be a really random prize sum!???...Im not from the US btw and so I'm just curious.....
What a great unbelievably great character Kevin is, for winning the biggest prize of $1 Million- Kevin should put me in mind of the world champion of the saddle bronc rider, as Taos Muncy, as Kevin Olmstead is definitely perfect for Taos Muncy, and thats who Kevin just really reminds me of as the rodeo cowboy, Taos Muncy! , and thats who Kevin just reminds me of as the rodeo cowboy, Taos Muncy! :) Thats the best $1 million question, what a smart guy, Kevin is! :)
Jakub1POLSKA: Because there wasn't a $1,000,000 winner for 5 months, so they grew up the main prize by $10,000 every show. Kevin Olmstead was the third person to see the "worth more than $1,000,000" question.
Well, If in Poland at every show 10,000 PLN would be added if no one won the grand prize, the grand prize would not be 1 million PLN, but 5 million 850 thousand PLN (2 million 575 thousand USD)! Cause no one from 1999 won the grand prize in Poland!
great video.......would love to see David Goodman's Millionaire win, if anyone has it!!! I believe there was an audio clip posted for him!!! but it aint there anymore!!! Either would do!!! Thanks.
