Who Wants to be a Millionaire November '99 series episode 15 -- 11/21/1999

[@JoeyFlyBoy]

Today, we say Happy Birthday to our wonderful and funny millionaire host, Regis Philbin. He turns 88-years-old today!!

[@christucker9966]

Happy Birthday! ABC should have run a Millionaire Marathon in his honor.

I miss him. He was the best Millionaire host.

I was 7 months old when this aired. Now I’m 67

[@sureshmukhi2316]

Have you got your math right?

[@davidbennett5894]

I'm very confident the answer is Nike because she named the brand of shoes after the ancient Greek masterpiece known as "Winged Victory."

[@brydc0ck31]

Jane Oviatt is beautiful in black overalls while she is playing Who Wants to be a Millionaire. She is confident and exciting.

[@DJMikey242]

I really missed you.

[@stuartmcpherran5115]

Also please upload more Meredith Vieira episodes.

[@matthaddock1817]

First contestant would've considered Nike possible guess, which makes sense considering they named the brand of shoes after "Winged Victory".

[@dakotareeves3939]

Here is episode #28 of the U.S. Millionaire program and its orginally aired November 21, 1999 on ABC.

[@MultiNerve]

That $64K question was tricky. It was correct but I can totally see how one would guess Ireland

[@nordicgaming2572]

May be tricky if you don't know basic geography.. As a European I knew the answer before the alternatives came up

[@markymark443]

@@nordicgaming2572 or if you're like me and you don't know the difference between United Kingdom and Great Britain (I happened to misunderstand the question and got it right because of that)

[@ilovebrandnewcarpets]

Ah dang. Bob read his $64k question too quickly. I doubt he ever even saw Northern Ireland as a choice.

[@stuartmcpherran5115]

Please upload more now that the show has been cancelled in which it should’ve never happened because they needed to something for its 20th anniversary.

[@stevenbahena5956]

It's canceled?!! 😱

[@ilovebrandnewcarpets]

@@stevenbahena5956 they should have never taken it off of prime time. Needs to come back to prime time, but the key is you need the PERFECT host. Regis is 1 in a trillion

[@Bocca013]

Someone used to have the whole run of John Carpenter on KZbin. Why was it blocked?

[@Racelympics]

Bocca013 Because LDS is trying to take control of KZbin copyright fraud.

[@EricAKATheBelgianGuy]

To clarify Bob's $64,000 question: Great Britain is the actual landmass itself, i.e. the island. Since Northern Ireland is connected to Ireland, it's not part of Great Britain officially. In fact, I believe the full name is "The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland." To my knowledge, Ireland doesn't belong in either category.

🇬🇧🇨🇮

[@davidbennett5894]

I'm very confident that the ancient Greek masterpiece "Winged Victory" is a sculpture of the famous goddess, Nike.

[@bigchris1234]

@WWTBAMclassics Do you remember the episode when a contestant insulted Regis by telling him that he was sure Regis had seen a psychiatrist? Regis then went off on him for the rest of segment. It was fucking brutal!! I remember watching that episode with my friend high as a kite right before my senior year of college. It has to have aired between 8/15 to sometime in early September of 2001. It was right before 9/11. I've been looking for this clip for years! haha If you could post it I would be so thankful!

[@christucker9966]

If you have Nancy Christy's episode, could you try to upload that one in 1080p? That would just look fantastic!

[@hiltonlive32grnrngr]

Does anyone have any idea why KZbin won't let John Carpenter's run be shown here? Also, WWTBAMclassics, as other people have suggested numerous times, you could try posting them on other platforms like Dailymotion, Veoh, or Vimeo. I was worried for a second that you were done posting for good. Welcome back.

[@cameraredeye3115]

Probably because that run would get more clicks than any other. Lol

For 11/18/1999 episode, may you replace carpenter run with stephen fox "fff" ?

Anyone else think it was Nike? I don't know what I would have done in the big chair, but that was my inclination.

It is not Hera, but it is Nike, because she named the brand of shoes after the sculpture "Winged Victory."

[@seikibrian8641]

I wanted to scream "nooooo!" at the guy who thought Ireland was part of the United Kingdom. Ireland has been an independant nation for a century. 🇮🇪

[@ilovebrandnewcarpets]

Bob's $32k question was extremely easy. It couldn't be any planet other than Mars

[@morganlaughlin6571]

I’m shocked about what happened on the United Kingdom question. I don’t know if this episode was before a certain event or whatnot, but I would’ve bet it was Ireland too.

[@occono3543]

??? Ireland is an independent country. Northern Ireland is part of the UK.

[@SigmaRho2922]

rip regis.

[@seikibrian8641]

I wonder why most Americans pronounce "karaoke" carry-okie. If that were the case it would be Romanized "kerioki." The "kara" in "karaoke" (empty orchestra) is the same as the "kara" in "karate" (empty hand); no one that I know would pronounce the latter carry-tea.

[@noahfessenden6478]

Huh. I never thought of that as an American.

[@seikibrian8641]

@@noahfessenden6478 "Carry Okie" isn't as bad as calling hara-kiri "Harry Carry" though.

[@noahfessenden6478]

@@seikibrian8641 Yeah that's true.

[@NoriMori1992]

Why are you singling out Americans? Do Europeans pronounce it different? And… why would you expect any non-Japanese to know how Japanese pronunciation and romanization works? A lot of people probably don't even know "karaoke" is a Japanese word. And your "karate" example is bad, people don't always pronounce that accurately either, they often say "ee" at the end instead of "ay". Same with "sake". And people typically pronounce "bonsai" like "banzai".

[@NoriMori1992]

It's a loanword, sometimes loanwords change in pronunciation on their way to the new language. It's not like the Japanese are always perfect about loanword pronunciation either, even within the limits of their phonetic system. Edit: I originally made my point with the word "energy", but it turns out they got that from German, not English; my bad. I know there are actual examples, just can't be bothered looking for them. If I think of any I'll add them.

I should have to say, "No, It's not Athena. It's Nike."
