JS Millionaire Bowl I
Steve Jeremiah Williams-Soria (Jeremy Soria)
Saturday, January 29, 2000
For all you folks outside North America, this weekend is perhaps the biggest
pro sports event of them all. It's Superbowl weekend, the "holiest of holidays
for all men everywhere," according to The Man Show.
ABC has the rights to air this year's Superbowl, so they've been having some
great Superbowl-related programming and promos. The highlight for this night
is a special Millionaire, where ten contestants will battle it out to see
whose got the fastest fingers in the East. The winner of that showdown will
hop in the hot seat to see if they can answer this question ...
WHO WANTS TO BE A MILLIONAIRE?
So who's got the Fastest Fingers First? We'll see:

Was I the only who heard Tim furiously flipping through a football
almanac? I'm sure people "cheat" all the time but his 20 seconds with
no response and then such a firm answer made it obvious.

I heard it too..but the producers have said it wasn't against the rules if
"friends" did this. If they didn't want them to do this, they would have
mentioned it in the rules. So, in reality, it wasn't cheating.
Besides, the friend didn't interpret very well either...I got the feeling that
the friend was going to say that John Madden wasn't in the Hall of Fame as an
announcer (as opposed to as a coach). I think the guy in the chair thought
similarly.

possible that his $16,000 prize might be voided?

Or a game show-themed episode right before a season premiere of WWTBAM
after a hiatus.

That, I think, is the closest margin in the American series to date! BTW, I
finally got it right, but like the 49ers secondary, I was eating dust.

I expected practice squad to be there. I would have needed a Lifeline here.

Can't blame him. Back then, who in their right mind for play for the Bucs?
That is the end of the first quarter.

He would have picked C. He would have been right. Since this is the
football show, give the audience an asterisk.

I don't think that's ever happened before. BTW, Dallas played in 8 Super

I would have bailed out on this one, too. Audience is 1-for-2 on third
downs.
That is the end of the third quarter.

They call audibles on defense, too.

The Vikings were the only purple (yecch) team back then.

Super Bowls VI, VII, and VIII (2-1 in those three).

Gifford and Bradshaw were HoF quarterbacks, and Dierdorf was a linebacker (I
think). If they inducted broadcasters, Madden (like Joe Montana this year)
would be automatic.
<final gun>
The final score: $205,000 given away tonight.

When the primetime EMmys air on ABC, this seems possible. The DAYTIME Emmys, on
the other hand ,are airing on ABC in May. Think they'd try a Daytime Emmy
trivia ep. of WWTBAM? If they'd lean towards one aspect of Daytime, some of us
would do pretty well :)

ABC. I'm guessing they'll only do these before events coming up on ABC, so,
not likely to see an all Olympics edition anytime soon (on NBC til we all die I
think), or Emmys (although that rotates amoung the 4 networks now I think,
anyone know who has in next?). I'm semi-surprised they didn't maybe do an all
music one before the American Music Awards (AMA is on ABC, Grammys are on CBS),
maybe next year.
I don't know of any other "big" enough events ABC does that would warrent a
special theme show.
Don Del Grande
>Since they had an football one will they have an baseball one and an basketball
>one?
They won't do either unless they can associate it with the appropriate
event.
Baseball - does ABC still have any rights to baseball?
Basketball - it's been at least 25 years since ABC has had the rights to
the NBA Finals, and longer than that (if they had them at all) for the
NCAAs.
They could always do a horse racing show the night before the Kentucky
Derby, or a hockey show during the Stanley Cup Finals (although it depends
on how popular they think hockey questions would be), or a golf show if
they still have the rights to any majors (or even if they don't, they can
hold out until next year's Skins Game).

Steve Jeremiah Williams-Soria (Jeremy Soria)
>Baseball - does ABC still have any rights to baseball?
It's been a long time, at least 5 years, since ABC had any Major League
Baseball.
>They could always do a horse racing show the night before the Kentucky
>Derby,
ABC is in its last year of covering the US Triple Crown, assuming they don't
forfeit this year's rights to NBC, who will take over next year. (And that
means no more Dave Johnson doing racecalls on ABC! Yay!!!!!)
>or a hockey show during the Stanley Cup Finals (although it depends
>on how popular they think hockey questions would be),
If Canada ever gets their version of Millionaire off the ground, they'll
probably do a hockey version.
And speaking of which, I see Canadians on other newsgroups that are
complaining that they can't get on Millionaire. I didn't realize these people
were dumb enough not to realize that Celador licenses Millionaire on a
country-by-country basis, and they'd have to wait until a Canadian network or
production company obtains the rights...
A wrestling-related Millionaire show might fare slightly well, but then all
its contestants on that show would be downright immature and nasty...

You're not thinking like a network exec; Sweeps month is a big enough event
to them. So as soon as they think of it, I expect to see:
WWTBAM Legal Special: Sunday lead-in to The Practice
WWTBAM Divorce Special: Monday lead-in to Once and Again
WWTBAM New York Police Special: Tuesday lead-in to NYPD Blue
WWTBAM Politics Special: lead-in to Spin City also with...
A Very Special WWTBAM Michael J. Fox Special: Just before Fox's last Spin City
WWTBAM Magic Special: lead-in to Sabrina the Teenage Witch.
Etc. :-)

It's possible, but ABC doesn't air much basketball these days, as recently
posted. WHen ABC has the rights to air the World Series, a baseball edition of
Millionaire is possible.

They've had NFL PLayers week on the last week in January for the past several
seasons. BTW, last season for that week only, the top three teams returned on
Friday. This season however, they didn't bring back the top three teams on
Friday.

They've already announced this as being planned.

Will the Oscars be held on Sunday this year(off topic). Yes there will be an
Oscar eve WWTBAM special in March. I don't think, no matter how successful
Millionaire has been in the last six months, that ABC would air it immediately
preceding the Oscars rather than Barbara Walters do her traditional special.

Not sure on the Primetime Emmys, but the DAYTIME Emmys are held on ABC in May.
Depending on how much skewed the Daytime TV questions would be if such a
special existed, some of us might do quite well on this :)

I'm a little surprised more money wasn't won on Saturday, since it was
the first time that players could actually specialize on one topic --
but there were obscure enough questions that the guys still got nailed
before walking home with obscene amounts.

He should have went for it.
Given that Rice is by far and away the most well known name of the 4, anyone
who doesn't know is going to think it was probably Rice. If Rice WAS the right
answer, it probably would have gotten about 75-80% (the people guessing PLUS
the people who knew it was right). The people who picked Flipper were likely
almost all people who definately knew the answer.
