Who Wants to be a Millionaire Primetime June 6th 2002 FULL SHOW

We're all in this together, so let's have some fun while we self quarantine. Here's a 2002 primetime episode… the last hurrah on the original run, and one of the best episodes of the entire series. I don't have many episodes left, but I'll try to post what I have!

[@disneyscott98]

Ok, now that I've watched this whole thing, both of these contestants were amazing. What an awesome episode!

[@ammarh.6742]

This episode crowned two last $250,000 winner on primetime version.

[@disneyscott98]

I'd also never heard of this first contestant and I have no idea why. He played a fantastic game!

[@hiltonlive32grnrngr]

Thanks for posting another Millionaire episode, WWTBAMclassics. I (as well as other game show geeks I'm sure) could use the distraction given the stressful conditions this world is in right now.

[@disneyscott98]

Been watching quite a few of these during "social distancing". Thanks for posting these. Can't wait for the return to Primetime next month!

[@Computerman859]

This version actually returned in April 2023, which was something unexpectedly awesome.

[@hiltonlive32grnrngr]

6:16 the most dramatic shot I've ever seen on Millionaire

[@fmoran111]

Anna Loveberry Babycakes They used that shot a few times towards the end. This was actually one of the last few shows before the prime time show was cancelled. :(

I've seen that shot used as early as December 2000.

ANOTHER $250,000 WINNER HERE STUPENDOUS!

[@Frankie-O]

Who was a $250,000 winner? Meredith Vieira.

[@matthewfisher-sp5fq]

I like Regis There's No messing around with him.

[@andimuhammadrifkialqadri4001]

oh gosh the true classic graphics. I wish the first syndicated edition did not tweak it. the first and the best Millionaire graphics EVER!!!

[@wecantfightgravity]

Nothing beats the original graphics but there have been the other nice looking ones since 2007 (US Clock 2008-2010, UK Rave 2007-2010 and 2010-2014, Australian Rave 2007, UK 2018-now, US 2020-now, Olga van den Brandt 2019,...)

[@andimuhammadrifkialqadri4001]

@@wecantfightgravity the blue rave logo (used in Australia in 2007 and Nigeria since 2010?) is my second favourite.

[@Computerman859]

The theme song did stay active until fall 2010, and it was tweaked for the 2008-2009 season; that change carried over the next season.

[@jackiwheeler6963]

Great clear picture too

[@Brandon75689]

@37:23 I think Regis thought that was a random audience member trying to get in the shot.

This was the final big winner on the Primetime series

[@robroy6374]

i see you like this show too.

[@matthewcasiglio2539]

@@robroy6374 I like this show too but like the price is right I try to watch this show sparingly because of it's length

[@Computerman859]

Carol Alaimo actually won $125k on the very last episode of the primetime series, which is still a big win. At least she had a six figure amount of money guaranteed.

[@arrowguy173]

35:20 Leotards are used by dancers - a term associated with that profession for eons. And honestly can’t say that trapeze “attire” is that different. The two he 50/50ed down to are what I had expected to be left and honestly I don’t know how either would be wrong. Trick question? Did Millionaire ever have more than one possible answer? Maybe this came down to it mentioning 1850s and that detail is what ties it only to trapeze… Anyway I love that these are on YT and even seeing them on Game Show Network occasionally. Regis was gold - perfect host.

[@joeldauer7489]

Why is Little Dot studios going after certain episodes and not others, I thought Valleycrest Productions owned the copyright to the American version of Millionaire. Some people say they're a legitimate company and some people say they pretty much file false claims.

[@glitchedblood]

the claims have now changed to Sony Pictures so it may be legit

[@isaacmemtorie3347]

I don't even wanna think about how low these ratings were by then. I'm surprised the show lasted until Summer 2002. It was much less popular even a year earlier. Thanks for uploading though.

[@jonathanashbeck3740]

It did switch to weekday syndication in the fall of 2002.

[@occono3543]

It ran in the UK from 1998 to 2014 and then it came back again in 2018 and has still been running since. Seems like a cultural difference, there's been 4 attempts at launching Jeopardy in the UK and they all were cancelled due to ratings after one or two years.

[@AriaSumner]

Who was “Famous for HIS happy trees…?” I’m pretty sure it wasn’t Brenda or Debbie 🤔 Surprising millionaire would make this mistake on a $32k question!

[@zechariahbarber6899]

Can you also see the intro and fastest finger on the partial show of November 1999?

[@zechariahbarber6899]

Can I also see? my bad that said you.

[@occono3543]

All the FFF contestants got up at the end, a rather muted way of celebrating the season, really series finale. Hopefully the last guy did well in his unaired full game. End credits announcer inadvertently teasing ABC's Lost show two years early

[@rogerscottcathey]

Painting clue is kind of already 50/50ed. Since it says "his" and two answers are women. And whataya bet a 50/50 would normally eliminate?

Huh, I thought primetime Millionaire ended in 2001... guess not.

[@joeyragsdale1998]

It ended in June 2002

[@fmoran111]

No. Starting fall of 2001 they buried Millionaire on Monday night and Thursday. Monday was celebrity night Thursday regular ppl. Then by January 2002 they pulled the Monday show and then put it on Thursday night. Then it was on and off till they ran out of episodes.

More request from me : 1. Jane Henderson's full run (lose $93,000 and win $32,000) 2. Dino White's full run from Syndication (won $250,000) 3. 2/1/2000, 2/2/2000, and 2/3/2000 can you reupload again? 4. Two episodes contained Kim Hunt full run again? 5. Veronica Webb and Eva Herzigova from Supermodel Edition full run (won $250,000)

[@WWTBAMclassics]

I'll see what I can do about some of these. Some of my tapes & DVDs are packed away so I'll try to get to them if I can. I don't have Dino White's full run, I would've posted it if I did. Same goes for the supermodel shows. General rule of thumb… if I haven't posted it, it means I probably don't have it. Most of the big name, oft. requested contestants who I haven't posted, I don't have Also - I never had the 2/2/2000 show. A different account posted that episode (one of the contestants who appeared on that show, I believe) and youtube blocked it. Was bummed out when I tried to go find it recently and saw that it got blocked

[@ericksgamedisplay7132]

Can you upload the 11/18/99, 11/19/99, 11/20/99 & 11/24/99 episodes please?
