Who Wants to be a Millionaire November '99 series episode 18 FINALE -- 11/24/1999

The November 1999 finale!

[@arielgonzalez5296]

Rest in peace, Regis Philbin. He was a greatest tv star, and icon when I watched that game show. Maybe I wish I wanna host the particular quiz show, but a lot different than theirs. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@zacheryalderton882]

I could too

[@vladtheinhaler8940]

He was a legend

[@morganlaughlin6571]

But Neil’s $250,000 win is an honorable mention for my favorite moments in this series. Here are my TOP 5 favorite moments from the November 1999 series: #5: Beth Plummer being the first woman to win $64,000. #4: Gary Levine winning $250,000. #3: Jane Oviatt being the first woman to win $125,000. #2: Matt Marcotte’s phone-a-friend, Steve, helping him win $250,000 (By the way, the latter went on to be a 2001 contestant and won $500,000). #1: John Carpenter saying “Dad, I’m going to win a million dollars,” and becoming the franchise’s first top prize winner.

$250,000 is not bad for my pocket

[@laurykristensen6239]

Well deserved. He played it really well.

[@laurykristensen6239]

John Carpenter was awesome

[@morganlaughlin6571]

What a way to end the November 1999 series? Neil came out of nowhere from using a lifeline on the first question and won $250,000! That’s a lot of money for someone who started that slowly!

[@RealJackHQ]

If you ever get depressed, just watch Neil Larrimore. You’ll learn so much. 😃

That $250,000 is tough one Montgomery, Alabama is the city where Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus in 1955

That U.S. capital question was sort of easy, although people might have mistakenly assume Chicago is a state capital, but it's actually Springfield.

[@PurplePinkRed]

I'm Australian, and I would have assumed exactly that. I have to keep remembering the most populous cities in the US aren't always the capitals. Australian states are the opposite - Biggest population is in each state capitol here.

Neil is walking away with $250,000 that's good enough for him to go shopping and go on vacation with his wife

This $500,000 question about Actors in show business it was Charlton Heston who is not portrayed Jesus Christ in the movies

[@markheying2830]

Alexander Wells On that Question I probably would have gone with either Charlton Heston or Jeffrey Hunter.

Thanks, the next request is many celebrity run who never uploaded.... (Regis Philbin's era). You have many segment of regular contestants, why do you upload many episodes that contained that segments?

[@jonathannorton6558]

I've got some requests from me: 1. The full January 2001 episodes like the 4th, 5th, 7th, 10th, 14th, and 17th. 2. The full 9/9/2001 episode. And 3. The full October 1st and 3rd 2000 episodes.

[@WWTBAMclassics]

I don't have any of those. I think I only have 1 or 2 primetime episodes left, both of which have content that we've already seen. I'm not sure where they are atm but when and if I find them, I'll post them

[@sobored9317]

She got some insanely easy questions beyond $1000 like seriously natural selection for 32k?! And seriously what half-educated American doesn’t know that Springfield is the capital (and Chicago is not) of Illinois

[@matthaddock1817]

There are a bunch of cities named Springfield. Besides Illinois (state capital), there is a Springfield, MO. Also, I don't know how much people get confused with Chicago as state capital, but I know that city gets mistaken for state capital based on the population size.

[@peeinacan1]

i cant believe they didnt know the alaska question. One of the easiest ive ever seen on the show

[@JacGBoots1]

They were thinking of population...

[@marshalljimduncan]

These where the hardest first questions ever on the show...

Y’know, I’ve always wondered, was that thing displayed in front of the hot seat and Regis’s chair really full of one hundred dollar bills or was it just a screen that projected the image of money? Can someone help me out with that please?

[@TheBigFiz21]

I don't know if it was really that way in 1999, but I know for sure in the later seasons, it became a screen projection that they used to display other things (the Millionaire logo, camera shots of the contestant, video footage, etc.) as well.

[@occono3543]

I believe it was physical but fake prop money here. On the UK show they originally had actual 1 million in cash that they intended to give instead of a cheque, but decided it was a bad idea long before they had the first winner with Judith.
