Gary Cahall on Who Wants to be a Millionaire

[@embracinglogic1744]

"You're an attractive guy: you have....nice glasses." LOL, good one, Regis! He was the best host of that series.

[@GamingFanactic911]

Gary did an amazing job, well deserved. :D

[@seikibrian8641]

Okay, let's break down that last question: Gaul wasn't a city, it was a large region of Europe corresponding to modern-day France, Belgium, and parts of Italy, Germany, and the Netherlands. Constantinople didn't exist in 218 BC; it was previously called Byzantium, and was only renamed Constantinople in 330 *AD* -- in honor of the Emperor Constantine. So that leaves only Rome and Syracuse, and Syracuse was on a small island off Sicily...not exactly a place where Hannibal could easily take his elephants. So that leaves Rome.

[@KyrieFortune]

Syracuse wasn't (and still isn't) a small island, it was one of the most influential Greek colonies in the Mediterranean at the time, powerful enough Carthage recognized it as a rival more than Rome before the Punic wars, and it was in fact besieged many times by the Carthaginians - it's that by the time Hannibal walked toward Rome, Carthage and Syracuse had become allies instead

[@seikibrian8641]

@@KyrieFortune Read my comment again: I didn't say Syracuse WAS a small island, I said it was ON a small island. Compared to all of Italy, and especially to all of Europe, Sicily IS a small island. And compared to all of Sicily, the province of Syracuse was smaller still. It had an area of about 2000 square kilometres (814 sq mi), and comprised 8% of Sicily's area.

Congrats, Gary ! WELL DONE !

[@xSTATOKEx]

Its weird how a lot of times on the American version, the real big money questions seem easier than the questions around 16k-64k.

[@GeoGuy388]

Yeah, a lot of the big money questions tend to be academic questions that are easy for anyone who paid half-attention in high school/early college. The 8k-64k questions have a lot of very arbitrary pop culture questions that are easily mystifying to anyone without the appropriate interest in whatever the relevant subject (be it film, a certain genre of music, sports, etc.).

[@ilovebrandnewcarpets]

I’m from the USA and we aren’t taught shit about geography outside of the USA. It’s pathetic, really.

[@alexmartin628]

That tactic where the phone a friend reads the question out loud NEVER works.

[@ammarh.6742]

Gary Cahall was the fifth contestant who won $250,000 in next episode to only face $500,000 question after Tom Bolton, Andy Aaron, Jack Martin, and Connie Stoltz.

[@gameshowguy2000]

A Hannibal question that doesn't have to do with animals, for once!

[@matthaddock1817]

Especially llamas, the wrong answer in the lower $100 question, wherever it is! 😂

[@Computerman859]

The correct response to Robby's infamous question from 8-20-1999: What are elephants? (This was also asked in episode 3-061 of Catch 21; the contestant who buzzed in answered correctly.) In addition, this was asked on the December 6 2023 episode of "Split Second", not to mention the number of elephants involved was 37 and Hannibal was fighting against Rome.

[@billyo3998]

I would have walked away at 500k just thinking it was a trick question

[@ChokeslamToHell]

He got what happened during an eclipse wrong, but it worked out 😅. During a lunar eclipse, the Earth passes between the Sun and moon, such that the Earth casts a shadow over the moon.

[@singingindark12]

I think the last question wouldve been easy for anyone if they knew General Hannibal Barca was a leader of Carthage who always wanted to conquer Rome. ^^

[@HealeyBrianT]

That $125K question was a joke. Further proof the writers thought every science question was mind-boggling.

[@GeoGuy388]

The $500,000 question was also astonishingly easy. It was so easy that I thought it had to be a trick and second-guessed, thinking maybe Constantinople was the correct answer.

[@nlafavore]

Actually, this was March 27-29, 2001.

[@WWTBAMclassics]

Yup. You are correct, sir. This was indeed in March. Thx for letting me know.

[@joshshipp2001]

You got any more 2001 primetime episodes?

[@WWTBAMclassics]

Yes, but not many. They'll all be up eventually.

[@joshshipp2001]

WWTBAMclassics that sounds great which months episodes you have is it the ones with the increase jackpot or the ones after it went back to the the regular million dollar?

[@rogerscottcathey]

Hannibal crossing the Alps for going after Rome is akin to Washington crossing the Delaware to go after Trenton

The Truman show was really good

How come this video was only uploaded in 2018 if it occured in 2001?

[@b4Sed1593]

Dude, its barely 2002. What are you talking about?

[@louskunt125]

Because the person who uploaded this isn't affiliated with the show and uploaded it for ad revenue

[@seikibrian8641]

"How come this video was only uploaded in 2018 if it occured in 2001?" How come I watched 'The Wizard Of Oz' in 2018 if it was released in 1939?

If I was the host and Gary had told me he didn't watch football, I would have taken a look around the audience and said 'and I see about 20 women opening up their little black books, writing his name down'.

They're opening up something else as well.
