Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?/Funny: Difference between revisions

* During one of the ''Celebrity Millionaire'' episodes, Norm MacDonald asked Regis if using a 50:50 after he said what he was deciding between would leave those exact choices, like there's some guy in the back trying to sabotage him. Regis assured him that the two choices had been locked in for months <ref>(this was back when the two choices eliminated by the 50:50 were not random, but were pre-selected by the writers, usually as the two choices the player was most likely to eliminate as incorrect)</ref>...but when Norm chose the 50:50 he was left with the two answers he was stuck between. Although the audience erupted into laughter, MacDonald gave Regis an absolutely majestic "WHADDID I TELL YA?" look. The whole ordeal can be seen [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xx4__Guq4w8#t=8m02s here].

* During the ''Super Millionaire'' spin-off period that started at $1,000 and ended at $10,000,000, Regis accidentally introduced a $20,000 question [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dDci8SdemOo&t=2m50s as if it was worth $20,000,000], and [[Hilarity Ensued]].

* A contestant in the 10th Anniversary Special almost lost on her first question because of how [[Accidental Innuendo|suggestive]] [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lGKxQurtJqw the question sounded at first].

* During a 2007 Movie Week, a young contestant reached the [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5monB4fIzy8&list=FLV_BHPBuiF5fa2qPWu9Dlew&index=43&feature=plpp_video $250,000] question, which just happened to be about one of his [[Office Space|favorite movies]]. His reaction has been compared to [[The Immodest Orgasm|"his [probable] o-face"]]. He answers quickly. Meredith doesn't even bother to draw out the suspense.

* 2008: One contestant's eight-year-old daughter was also a big fan of the show, and viewers got to see [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yTnV56p3Hro one of her drawings of her mom and Meredith on-set.] Meredith doesn't see the resemblance.
