John Carpenter became the first millionaire on the United States version of the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on November 19, 1999. He held the record for the largest single win in United States game show history,[1] until it was broken by Rahim Oberholtzer who won $1.12 million on another U.S. quiz show, Twenty One.[2] Carpenter was also the first top prize winner among all international versions of the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire series.[3]
Carpenter is from Hamden, Connecticut. He graduated from Rutgers University in 1990 with a degree in economics.[4] At the time of his appearance on Millionaire, he was 31 years old and worked as a collections agent (revenue officer) for the U.S. Internal Revenue Service.[1] When he revealed his profession as an IRS officer on Millionaire, Carpenter was booed playfully by the audience.[5]
Carpenter proceeded to reach the final question without using any of his lifelines. The $1,000,000 question was, "Which of these U.S. Presidents appeared on the television series Laugh-In?", with the choices being A) Lyndon Johnson, B) Richard Nixon, C) Jimmy Carter, and D) Gerald Ford.[6]

And the way he answers it..is SIMPLY AWESOME !!
