[[Game Show]] created for [[FOX]] hosted by comedian [[Jeff
In September 2009, the hour-long show ended and a half-hour syndicated version replaced it, with a top prize of $250,000. The syndicated version featured a slightly different format; each category was worth a dollar amount based off its level, winnings went to a bank (which got erased if a player answered incorrectly), and the player could opt to play a bonus question to increase their winnings by 10. This version was canned in March 2011.

* [[Trailers Always Spoil]]: Cathy Cox's million-dollar win aired as the second hour of a night (the first had Kathy Ireland). The trailers hinted that at least one of them would win the money — then, after Ireland's game aired, that Kathy ''would win the million''. Many viewers went somewhere else for 50 minutes, then came back to see her answer the Million-Dollar Question.
