Also, if you can find them, I'd love to see Raymelle Greening or Nick Meyer's runs where they missed the $500,000 question. 

[WWTBAMclassics]

Don't have either, I do know some of the questions though... for $250k Nick Meyer was asked something like-

'The sands of the kalahari desert are known for being what color'

for $500k he was asked- 'Which of these actresses was a member of the original broadway cast of Hair'

He said Glenn Close, the answer was Diane Keaton

You can some of Raymelle Greening's questions here-

I think he should have walked but I understand his logic to go for it, given that Billy Joel came right after John Denver.

[WWTBAMclassics]

& Besides, the man was a gambler. Gotta give him props for going all out

[Jonah2Josh]

idiot

[des696969]

you can always tell the answer by how regis reacts... I knew the second he said Billy that it wasn't it if it was he would of said something along the lines of "Now think about this, THIS IS 450 thousand dollars you're going to lose"

[Lingyan203]

Do you have the video of the rest of his run?

[TheUsualSuspect1995]

If norm macdonald has this guy's balls he'd have made it to the million with two lifelines left. Sucks tho. I thought $500k was hella tough

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

I saw them on a website called "SyndiBAM" which is no longer up.

[WWTBAMclassics]

Which Raymelle Greening's or Nick Meyer's?

Nick Meyer's is from memory, Ramelle Greening's I found here

Where did you find those questions?

[ChiSportsNut18]

This man made a very poor mistake trying to rush the $500K question like that. If you don't consider walking away if you're not certain enough at the $250K level, it's got to come into consideration at $500K and most certainly the $1 million question. Ken Basin comes to mind, I know. But at least with his money he can afford gas at the pump.

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

Same here, unlike a certain woman who faced a certain U.N. question...

[EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

Thanks, but I already knew the questions. I was hoping to see the video just to see what they looked like.
