Who Wants to be a Millionaire: David Goodman's Million Dollar Winner (Full Complete Run)

[@khaotix64]

"Yeah I don't feel too confident with 57-42 so I... did 1% say C???" 😂😂😂

[@ChokeslamToHell]

Best way to answer if you don’t know!

[@AllThisOverASliceOfGabagool]

​@@ChokeslamToHellthat's what I'd have done. Either that or not vote.

[@AlexXanderMarketing]

He had a sick grin when the question came up. He knew the answer the whole time.

[@seanmaher3518]

But when you get to the million with 3 lifelines, there’s no point in not using them.

[@Oloistogamersloungeeistepisogl]

@@seanmaher3518 No there is a point. That is to win like a boss like Carpenter did.

[@themanwhoknewtoomuch6667]

Not only grin but the whole namaste thingy he did when the answer came up...

[@chaupin5]

He played so well! This exactly reminds me of John Carpenter (1st Million Dollar Winner) when he went all the way without using a lifeline!

[@ThePatriots010304]

You ask the audience before you do the 50/50. You get more of a sense of the right answer when all four possible answers are out there.

[@Agirmetal]

Good idea

[@zackq8865]

Not if your going for the million. The ask the audience lifeline is almost always useless in those upper tier questions. The 4 choices would just spread the percentages out more. You could end up with 25% across the board there. I think he did the right thing by using the 50/50 lifeline first.

[@hsupower]

@@zackq8865 I think David had an idea of the answer when the question came up. The interesting thing is that the four answers were from four different continents. If it was four counties from South America, it would have made it a harder question to answer. I remember watching some of the Paddington Bear cartoons growing up, I remember it was a South American country for its origin. Thus, when those answers came up, it was a time to confirm the thoughts with the lifelines.

[@obscurereference6298]

@@zackq8865 this is 100% incorrect. You want to dilute the incorrects between 3 and the corrects to 1. You will never get 4 x 25% that way.

[@hsupower]

@@obscurereference6298 The approach that is being was done by Bernie Cullen when he won the million. Cullen kept the four answers up for the audience to consider on the million dollar question. Cullen had two answers in mind. When, the 50-50 was used, Cullen got the break he needed when the second most voted answer was eliminated. From there, Cullen had a clean path to the million. In this instance, I have no problems with the way David used his lifelines on the final question. He had an ideas of the answer and he wanted to confirm in the best way possible.

[@geoffreyfaltot1006]

This man confirmed what I already has suspicions of growing up in grade school through college: those who read, reach their dreams.

[@zackq8865]

He is only 24 years old? Wow! He behaves and acts more like a guy in his 40's that owns his own company. I mean that in a good way. He is so mature and knowledgable for his age.

[@danieldelta2464]

By now, he's about 48

[@winser21]

Yeah, Master’s degree and already has what sounded like a pretty decent job. All of that and still had time to get on Millionaire. This guy is a beast.

Great game David Goodman, winning the whole game

[@r3dth3savag39]

How many people were on that phone call? 🤔

[@e-man1634]

A LOT...lol.. There was no attempt to even hide that. I was wondering if they were going to disqualify him for it.

[@zackq8865]

@e-man1634 No chance. It's perfectly legal. If it wasn't allowed then they wouldn't even bother with lifelines on this show to help out the contestants. Just like ask the audience. If you get 80% on one choice then that's pretty much spoonfeeding the answer as well.

[@AlexXanderMarketing]

[@e-man1634]

@@zackq8865 well it's called phone A FRIEND... not called phone A GROUP of people....lol

[@gbowers]

The one guy used phone-a-friend and just had the friend search Google for the answer to the question right off the bat.

[@jereschr]

The last question literally was one of the easiest. The Trail of Tears was too

[@JET7C0]

I agree that the Trail of Tears feels like pretty general historical knowledge to be that high up, but IDK, I can see how there'd be plenty of people who just aren't that familiar with Paddington Bear.

[@AllThisOverASliceOfGabagool]

Judith Kepple's question for the million in the UK was ridiculous. I was flexing at school for days as I was the only kid who knew the answer because I was obsessed with Kings and Queens of England so had learned a little bit about Eleanor of Aquitaine because of her association with King Henry II.

[@rachelxx1991]

My son loves Paddington Bear. He watches the show so much I have the theme song memorized, including the line, "he came from Peru, to be with me and you," but I never would have known before I was a parent.

David Goodman won one million dollars. Later on He joins the 3 wise men on super millionaire and no one asks David Goodman for help when they could win $10,000,000 on Super Millionaire.

[@SpykerSpeed]

His friend on the phone kinda cheated, but I think he would've gotten it right anyway.

[@mikeyisbombable]

To be fair this was in the year 2000 so this was the alternate choice before the internet really took off. The internet experience in 2000 was dial-up so it was VERY slow and would've been difficult to look up an answer in just 30 seconds that the lifeline gives you. Dial-up was only the way to access the internet at the time before broadband networks started up later in the 2000's and it was where some people actually used the internet to find an answer later in the show. In only a few seconds today you can google an answer and that's why they removed that life line all together in the later seasons.

[@RyanLewis-Johnson-wq6xs]

David Goodman you won $500,000 you have your 50:50,phone-a-friend and ask the audience lifelines intact I can't stop looking at your impressive work none of your lifelines are crossed off I love it. This is the last time it will ever be mentioned in this game.

[@markcox3024]

From what seen, the questions on the US version of WWTBAM are a bit easier than UK.

[@RyanLewis-Johnson-wq6xs]

From the American "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" show, this is David Goodman's game during a July 2000 episode of the primetime/ABC version. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

[@Ctalentless]

His phone a friend sounded like he was sat with a group of other friends to answer the question...

[@danrajaratnam5444]

I swear some of these questions are like so much different in level now then in that time. Like the jowls question I had no idea and I knew trail of tears instantly

[@AllThisOverASliceOfGabagool]

Yes I would've had to use a lifeline for jowls to be sure. I think we've become a lot more knowledgeable of different historical facts due to us being made aware of history in order to try not to repeat it.

[@RyanLewis-Johnson-wq6xs]

There's another Who Wants to be a millionaire online in the UK in the 3rd game I could have sworn that it was David Goodman winning another £1,000,000 with three lifelines intact along with his $1,000,000 with three lifelines used.

[@waynejohnson9374]

I don't think that was the sound of a keyboard clicking, do remember that this was in the year 2000. A lot of people still had dial up and that was slow back then, also you couldn't call and be online at the same time. My family still had dial up in 2000. The clicking was possibly the sound of a corded phone making noise. I just think his phone-a-friend was with a group of people and somebody knew the answer.
