WWTBAM - David Fite's Run - Part 3

David Fite appeared in the hot seat on January 9-10, 2000 and became the 3rd person to see a $1,000,000 question on the American WWTBAM. What was interesting about his run was that he used a lifeline on his $100 question (like Neil Larrimore - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5DYWw3uTgtg) about Duck Duck Goose. He wouldn't touch another lifeline until his $500,000 question.

Another interesting fact from this run: the very first Fastest Finger contestant that Regis introduced on this show was none other than future millionaire Ed Toutant in the first of three appearances on WWTBAM for Ed (his second appearance would be a year later).

This is part 3 of David's run from his $64,000 question to his $500,000 question. There was some extra editing done just to get this under the video length limit. Also of note, when Regis shows David the different checks that he's earned in the upper tier of questions, the $32,000 and $64,000 checks have his name as "Dave Fite" and the date as 1/9/00 when it was really 1/10/00.

The reason why less people get it with Meredith is because that's syndicated and not primetime. This means that less people watch and the ad spots are worth less. Usually producers compensate by reducing the prize money but since the show is called "Who want's to be a millionaire" then can't do that. Therefore the questions must be more difficult to keep the number of winners lower in order for the show to remain profitable.

pretty sure if Regis can't pronounce the name it's not the answer. lol

@CommandoSolo

That is partly true, but they did reduce the upper-tier of the money lader in 2004 ($32k become $25K, $64K become $50K, and $125K became $100K). The $16K was also reduced to $15K in 2009. Luckily with the new format this year, contestants are winning more than they ever could at points of the game compared to when the show booted up in 1999.
