If Regis didn't backfill those kids for the $5,000,000 he cost them he has NO FACE ! Norm was right there and Regis hip-checked him off course. Purposely or not Regis needed to make it good.
Think about all the lives Regis Philbin ruined for wasting 500,000 dollars. He is a horrible human being who should immediately be forced to suffer with the punishment of watching any weekend update that doesn't have Norm McDonald. Amen.
I don't think that Regis screwed Norm all that much. I think Norm was leaning towards Pinehurst first, and didn't have full confidence in The Greenbrier. He seemed very nonchalant about it.
How can you blame Regis? You're losing out on close to 500 g's for charity on a guess if he gets it wrong. If you don't try talking him out of it, you're an idiot.
Ugh! Imagine if Norm didn't blow the PAF on the $125,000 question! I always have a tough time getting mad @ regis for kinda talking norm out of it- If Norm was a little bit more confident & saved the lifeline, he'd have won!
Regis is a dumbass. Norm McDonald could have been the 9th millionaire. Now we haven't had a millionaire since Bernie Cullen on April 15, 2001. It's been 9 1/2 years since the last millionaire.
@tadwight30 i hate to break it to you, but there have been 2 millionaires the old fashioned way, 4 with special series. Kevin Smith-1st syndicated, Nancy Christie-Only woman in U.S, Robert "Bob-O" Essig- Super Millionaire, Sam Murray- Million Dollar Tournament of 10, Syndicated. Since an old fashioned win? About 7 years, a win, about a year or 2.
@tadwight30 Kevin Smith and Nancy Christie won the top prize on the syndication. Ed Toutant also won on Septmeber 7, 2001, continuing his quest from an error from an incorrect answer and won one million, eight hundred sixty thousand. Not to mention they cheapened it when they had a tournament of ten for the million. But there have been a few since Bernie's win. Millionaire sucks nowadays anyway.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
"It's to do with India, so I think it's Samuel Beckett." MORON. Samuel Beckett was Irish, so what does that have to do with it? Plus, Norm seems arrogant and homophobic.
@geemoli My parents are divorced and they weren't cheating...what are you confronting me about, what are you saying here? His marraige ended, what's your point? You know nothing of the circumstances and neither do I.
@speranza91986 you need to rewatch and pay attention to his complete reasoning as to why he chose Oh Calcutta. i believe he shows his true intelligence when he answers that question.
This took place in 2000. Norm commented on this on Howard Stern Show in 2008 or 2009, and said that he was still bitter that Regis made him doubt himself and waste lifelines, he would have won the million. Another factor is that Norm is a talented poker player and tried to read Regis and thought Regis was giving off signals that the answers were wrong, but he didn't know that Regis doesn't know the answers.
@jessie1299 of course it's not rigged! Lots of celebrities have failed hard on Millionaire Celebrity Edition and failed to make any money at all. Norm is a REALLY smart guy.
I won't blame Regis for that, because Charles Ingram was worse than him. Regis screwed 500k from Norm, but Charles screwed 2 million (1 million pounds) from the show.
Norm is always hilarious in anything he does...I love that dry sense of humor! I can't believe they fired him from SNL...he was the best thing on that show!
Omg! Regis! That's not cool. I loved Norm! He was the last one, and he was thought of as the not-as-smart guy, but look-at him. In my mind, he technically won the million! Go Norm, love ya!
Of course there's going to be many different arguments about the last question. Some might say that Regis did go a little bit too far in trying to talk Norm out of going for it, even with the amount at stake. But Norm really did act like he really did intend to give a final answer.
How they should have handled the situation is that Norm should have been brought back on the show directly after and given a new $1 million question.
At 1st norm wasnt sure then he was. You know what if he had gone with it and was wrong then everyone one would be bitching about how Regis should have talked him out of it!
You're right. I saw one of the bubbles stated that the correct answer won't be shown until either the contestant gives an answer or walk. So I won't blame Regis for that.
Regis shouldn't have been trying to talk Norm out of it. At this level it's hard enough to have any confidence about any kind of answer. For Regis to be this insistent is totally unprofessional.
Those were cool pop-ups. I'm glad Paul was happy Norm won $500,000 for Hole In The Wall. Let me ask you this, if you were playing for a children's charity would you have answered the question if you DID NOT KNOW? Norm was so confused on that last question. I wouldn't.
Norm got every question right. Even the ones he used a lifeline on, the first one he was leaning towards Clapton and the other 2 were correct. And then he had the last one, too. Smart guy!
Most comeidans are very smart. I don't think that question for $500,000 was a "lucky guess" I trully believe he knew it as he said he knew who Samuel Beckett is. But look when you play for charity on a game show you can't be gutsy. That money helped so many sick children. I'm glad Norm has a good heart to give his money back to a worthy cause like Hole In The Wall.
