WWTBAM - Steve Perry's Run - Part 1

Steve Perry was a 23-year-old law student from Charlottesville, Virginia who appeared in the hot seat on April 22, 2001 and coasted through his first 14 questions effortlessly without using a lifeline, joining million dollar winners John Carpenter and David Goodman as the only ones to do so. He got hung up on his $1,000,000 question and couldn't pull the trigger, but still, $500,000 isn't that bad.

This is part 1 of his run from his fastest finger question to his $1,000 question.

Edit - 4/25/07: I recently posted Matt Marcotte's $250,000 run from November 20, 1999 where he used Steve Perry as a phone-a-friend on the $250,000 question. Steve mentioned Matt in this video here and said that he received a laptop computer for coming through on that question. :)

Oh god, I'm dying of laughter after Perry wins the fastest finger. When he gets up, he looks like he's about to smash Regis' face in.

Wow, that first question is way too stupid even by Millionaire $100 question standards.

[PunkRockPat]

Only in America could someone give you $100 for knowing that Hat rhymes with Fat.

[BassManiac07]

that first question was pretty tough

[bb6f44]

haha, yeah! I was going to say "I'd like him a lot if he just started singing 'Don't Stop Believing' when he's unsure of an answer to a question"

[bb6f44]

[Truepsycho]

I felt like punching him when he started throwing his fist like he's already won.

He's not from Charlottesville, he's from Jackson, Mississippi with that accent

The accent spoken in that Charlottesville town is really northern sounding like the accent spoken in Michigan.

Ok the first question was WAAAYYY to easy. Who looks at that and thinks dish tree or large pizza rymes with fat??

[certifiedjagga]

$200, way off I-95; that's one of the best "choice D." jokes lol
