Regis Philbin interviews UK Who Wants to be a Millionaire host Chris Tarrant

[@TheCandoRailfan]

The idea of Regis and Chris in the same room, talking about Millionaire, is just awesome, glad to see it happened at least once. I just wish it was longer. RIP Regis.

Awesome seeing the two of them together.

[@chrisfinch8637]

It always intrigues me to see game show hosts either old and new, as well as from country to country, to see them on the same platform together, like Chris and Regis. Nothing will ever beat them. Not even Jeremy Clarkson in the U.K. (save "I hate cricket") nor Meredith Vieira in the States.

[@chasegilmond5637]

Sad to see Regis go. I really enjoyed watching him since I was about 6 years old

[@RealJackHQ]

Same 😃. I loved Regis since I was young too. I remember watching him when I was three even.

[@hotwax9376]

I was also six when the US Millionaire first started. I was already familiar with Regis Philbin as a TV personality but that show brought him a whole new generation of fans. In pace requiescat.

[@chrisfinch8637]

@@RealJackHQ It was the music and the lighting, as well as that klaxxon that scared me a lot as a kid (even I was like Tarrant at times going "Aaah! That noise!"). Nowadays, I'm still shook by it, but it still gives a great feel to how a player is staring at a question while thinking it over and risking a lot of money, when choosing to play it.

[@morganlaughlin6571]

I didn’t know Chris Tarrant appeared on Live with Regis and Kathie Lee. That’s actually amazing to know. Anyway, god bless you, Regis! 🙏

[@RealJackHQ]

I know. I had no idea they met in person, either. That’s awesome! Definitely my favorite Regis Philbin interview ever! ......Power to the People! 😂

Pretty cool to see UK and US hosts of Millionaire interacting with each other. RIP Regis Philbin

[@chrisfinch8637]

For years, I used to think we were the first to have WWTBAM, but no, it was Chris Tarrant in 1998. But we were the first to ever bring a Millionaire on the path- it was John “phone my dad” Carpenter. Even so, I hope Tarrant is doing well, but for the Reegmaster, I’m gonna miss that guy and I’ll never play or watch WWTBAM without thinking of him. It may hurt, but he was a legendary part of it. God bless Regis and Chris.

[@K.J.S.est1994]

WWTBAM’s first version outside of the UK was actually Australia with Eddie McGuire as host and still continues to host it today with the “Hot Seat” format which I am not a fan of.

[@wecantfightgravity]

Nope. It was actually Netherlands, which was the first ever country to have had WWTBAM outside the UK with the title Weekend Miljonairs, in February 1999. But the first worldwide Millionaire winner wasn't found until John Carpenter made it in November 1999 in America. So America was the first ever country to have had the worldwide Millionaire winner.

[@ClaudioTV2005]

[@gsngameshowman2499]

RIP Philbin; you will be dearly missed. Both did a great job! Two legends in hosting WWTBAM! I miss Tarrant as host.

For those who don't know, the clip they showed with the Phone-A-Friend lifeline concluding itself was Davy Young, who won £125,000.

That was an amazing interview, Wouldn’t been hilarious if one week Regis went over to The UK and hosted their show and Chris went to America and hosted a week here, That would’ve been something; But Yeah like I said great interview and Rest In Peace Regis.

[@ajk]

So have I, or anything even where they talked about each other, Chris about Regis especially. Really great to see, even if under sad circumstances. I'd love to know what Chris is thinking now too, as I am sure it has to have him reflecting. Incidentally.....does anyone know if any footage from the pilot Regis shot in England that Chris refers to here exists anywhere? That'd be super interesting to see if it did.

[@RealJackHQ]

@@RealJackHQ For sure, I had no idea he ever did that, although it makes sense that he would I'd suppose.

Nowadays, you're lucky if you take off from the UK in the morning and land in the USA in time for Jeopardy!

[@SigmaRho2922]

Five and a half years after the final episode of the original primetime run of Millionaire aired, ABC aired the first major primetime gameshow tournament in television history. The event, which ran from 12/16/07 to 12/23/07, was known as Duel, and featured a progressive jackpot which eventually awarded $1.72 million to its winner. As it sounds, Duel featured two contestants competing against each other head-to-head over a series of multiple-choice questions, where the contestant who did not select the correct answer lost the game. That show began production shortly before a strike by the WGA that took place between November 2007 and February 2008; as a result, a ten-episode regular series was ordered. The ten-episode series was scheduled to air between 4/4/08 and 6/6/08, but the last five episodes of the series were delayed to air beginning on 6/27/08 due to the show's cancellation that was announced before the episode that aired on 5/2/08. The final episode of the series aired on 7/25/08. Mike Greenberg sounds familiar because he was the host of Mike and Mike on ESPN Radio between 2000 and November 2017, when he moved to ESPN television for the new morning show Get Up, which premiered in early 2018. Anyway, it is so sad to see Regis go. Rest easy, dear. Our thoughts and prayers are with him.
