Robin Schwartz's Million Dollar Question - Who Wants to be a Millionaire [Old Format]

[Pikhaku]

One hard question I would actually know! I can thank AP English and Lincoln at Gettysburg for that :p

[HBKanedge818]

Wow, Beautiful & Bright!!!!!!!!!.

[falks941]

why is everyone insulting Meredith? not saying she doesn't deserve it, it's just i'm from the UKand i haven't seen the US show before. what did she do?

[MrTcoxx]

@falks941 Nothing, people are just rude... Shes a perfectly fine host. People were just bashing her in this video because of the beginning where she tells the guy he was wrong *then rounded the answer down*

[Weirdgus]

lol what a dumb crackwhore

[peroapourp]

That whore....I would've smacked her with that check

[jamespat10]

Guy at the beginning, I'd knock Meredith's head through the wall.

[sunnygrace57]

@jamespat10 He won the million, but thought twice that he would lose it. The first time was in the beginning of this video, and the second time was when the top-seeded player almost chose the correct answer, which he knew.

[thefirstwoodmonk]

That was messed up meridith...

[MrRogBite]

Told ya guy's-woman never will win!

[mecha03]

@MrRogBite Nancy Christy. [watch?v=4Hgbe-YN11o]

[sanneshine]

shes my cousin :-)

[Dedmon319]

Damn she is sexxxxxxy

[Perceus996]

That question was worth OVER $9000!!!!!

[Kaali974]

Why does everyone give up at the last question? What the HELL???

[blablabla313313]

I learned this in 8th grade social studies class :)

[maxpowr90]

I remembered a "useless" fact from AP US History. /sigh

[sunnygrace57]

@maxpowr90 I thought all of AP US history was useless-even for Millionaire. Of course, I might be biased because I didn't do well in that class.

[PeteTheMallard]

For some reason I thought it was Everett.

[ChickenLeg91]

Only reason I think this is easy is because I believe I remember my U.S. History I teacher go through this. I definitely would not have known if my teacher wasn't so memorable. I would've also not remember who Brigham Young was without his witty mnemonic. He also had an awesome homework policy I wish more high school teachers would adopt (Every once in a while, give a somewhat large assignment with a week or two to do it, and allow us extra time if we show him that our week'll be very busy)

[papashankz]

lol i did a project on all of Gettysburg.. i wish i was in her place..

[Pkftmfw]

10% sure i wouldve gone for it, its 25,000 dollars risk to win 950,000 dollars...

[missingnote]

I figured my dad would know this one because of how familiar he is with American history (which is probably the thing I know the least about, even though I got good grades in world history in college), and he immediately eliminated A and B, and although he had to think about it for a minute, he came up with the right answer. As for me, I really had no clue, but I would've guessed B because it's the most well-known name there (arguably, I guess).

[Maddy4Me]

My Dad told me about this just a couple of days ago!

[TheWinnerWinner]

The only reason people say "easiest question in the world" is because they know the answer. The people who dont know the answer think its the hardest to them, if its easy, it doesnt mean its that easy for the rest of us.

[whoeckum]

She's hot

[MakeupBarbie16]

annnddd.... i knew the answer

[onenonlyprincess2]

thank god they got rid of that clock

[FHFabian]

most of these million dollar questions are about presidents and things relating to presidents

[Steberino]

Nobody believes u if u say u knew it after the fact.  Just bite ur tongue.

[milkensiriyo]

I didn't know the answer,but my guts told me D...I checked it on google, and it was D :) Just saying, not bragging

[Ferocioussquirrels]

@milkensiriyo why did you look it up on google? the answer is in the video

[moneybags1972]

i knew a couple of the million dollar questions in the tournament. but definatly not this one

[firebender213]

I don't understand the tournament.... I liked it when it was plain and simple.

[tbeals46]

Best way to describe the tournament: Players are ranked by how much money they won, then how much time they banked to that point. The top ten at the end of the season were invited back for a million dollar question each, but should they answer, their money goes back to $25,000 if wrong. If they're right, they basically get 'control' of the tournament. If a higher player answers correctly, they get control instead. Once the #1 player answers or walks away, the player in control wins a million

[Ponjoe15]

@firebender213 They prolly did this because they didn't have enough money to do it the regular way.

[blablabla313313]

@firebender213 The tournament was kinda really stupid. It had ten contestants from a certain amount of time with the most winnings in it (1 seed won 250000, 10 seed won 50000) Each person, starting from the 10 seed, Alex Ortiz, had to answer a question worth 1 million dollars and whoever was the highest seed to answer it correctly would win the million. 9 of the 10 walked away when most of them guessed the right answer when the winner was 8 seed Sam Murray who guessed and got it right.

[Hondo20132]

Have you ever noticed on nearly every clip of a Million Dollar Question on the Philbin version has at least one comment saying 'easiest $1M question ever'?

Well, what they made the questions now are the HARDEST ones ever.

[blablabla313313]

@Hondo20132 No, I learned this in the 7th grade :)

Got it in 1 second :)

[blablabla313313]

@Hondo20132 No, this one was super easy! I knew it when the question was asked :)

[gole311]

@Hondo20132 Merideth wants the money to herself.

[Fynlar]

Looks like they snuck an edit for time at around 2:24 (with 2m08s left on the question clock). The lights on the side of the clock leapt forward but the remaining time on the clock didn't change.

[Sm1thrul3s]

nice job

[TubeMan9009]

I knew the answer to Robin's Million Dollar Question or MDQ.

[cheezguyty]

This was worth a million dollars? I'm only 18 and I knew the answer before the choices were even shown. Maybe I should try out for the show?

[ShadowLinkxMaster]

@cheezguyty well u still got 14 questions before you can reach the million but its worth a try

[cheezymouse297]

:D!
