I remember watching this whole run...

For the few episodes I saw with Ken, he always looked so tense. :) I wondered at the time how many old friends and family members had started calling him looking for money? lol I bet he got a few. I wonder who was the most strange? (fellow student in the 4th grade and so on). :) / "Easier." Easier than what? / I also wondered if the ones who made up the questions tried to make the more difficult but I wondered too if that was all set up months before? Anyone know?

What's with all the weird faces KJ makes

[zachhoran]

He was co-producing PAX"s On the Cover, which I believe was in first run right around the same time frame. Byron WIlson, five time champ/staffer on syndie Joker's Wild, will finish his game on Millionaire tomorrow that he started on Friday. J! associate producer Harry Eisenberg was on the 8/25/1999 episode of Millionaire but didn't make the Hot Seat.

@zachhoran What are you talking about?

[Songsmirth]

@mtiller2006 Ditto. And I don't understand why Oliver brings up this date? Why on earth would he bring that up something so boring and sad in front of millions of people? Why was it SO important to him to be seen as a loser in this fashion? Bugs me to no end. I thought he'd say something like, "then I met her three years later and it was love at first sight. We've never figured out why such a difference!" THAT would be a story worth telling. Not this pathetic thing. Anyone?

@Songsmirth

I thought the same thing. Really wierd story. Also, he comes of as a complete loser - what the fuck was he thinking?
