Line 4: The scandal arose after a match between Charles Van Doren and Herb Stempel. Both men had been given the answers in advance (to make the game more dramatic, Dan Enright [[Word of God\|later said]]) and Stempel had been coached to lose. The whole incident was dramatized in the 1994 movie ''[[Quiz Show (film)\|Quiz Show]]''. A ''~~Twenty One~~21'' [[Revival]] was attempted in 1982 with ''[[Bullseye US(U.S. game show)\|Bullseye]]'' host Jim Lange, but the pilot didn't sell. In 2000, [[NBC]] [[Retool\|retooled]] the game for prime time, with Maury Povich as host. It ran for only a few months, but paid out big — Rahim Oberholtzer won $1.1 Million and David Legler topped that by winning $1.75 Million, both American game-show records. Legler's record would stand until Kevin Olmstead won the graduated grand prize on ''[[Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?]]'' (who would then be passed by [[Jeopardy!\|Ken Jennings]].)

Intended to replace the quickly-heading-out-the-door ''[[Bullseye US(U.S. game show)\|Celebrity Bullseye]]'', which had the same host and announcer; didn't work. * [[Stage Money]]: The 2000 version showed the contestants the money they won, which they took off the stage in a tote bag. * [[Trans -Atlantic Equivalent]]: Many. Granada Television produced [http://www.ukgameshows.com/ukgs/Twenty-One a version] for ITV from 3 July to 23 December 1958 with Chris Howland hosting, but pulled due to the quiz show scandals (with contestant Stanley Armstrong claiming he had been given "definite leads" to the answers). ''Hätten Sie's gewusst?'' ran in Germany on public broadcaster ARD from 1958–69, hosted by Hans "Heinz" Maegerlein. At eleven years, it's the longest-running version of the show.
