The show features a competition in which contestants attempt to win a top prize of $1,000,000 by answering a series of multiple-choice questions of increasing difficulty (although, for a time, most of the questions were of random difficulty). The program endured as one of the longest-running and most successful international variants in the franchise.The original U.S. Version aired one, two or three evenings a week on from August 16, 1999, to June 27, 2002, and was hosted. The weekday version of the show began airing on September 16, 2002, and was hosted for eleven seasons by until May 31, 2013. Later hosts included in the 2013–14 season, in the following season (2014–15), and, who hosted from September 14, 2015, until May 31, 2019, when the syndicated series was canceled.As the first U.S. Network game show to offer a million-dollar top prize, the show made television history by becoming one of the highest-rated game shows in the history of American television.
Millionaire won seven, and ranked it No. 6 in its 2013 list of the 60 greatest game shows of all time. Screenshot illustrating how question text and answer choices appear on-screenAt its core, the game is a quiz competition in which the goal is to correctly answer a series of fourteen (originally fifteen) consecutive multiple-choice questions. The questions are of increasing difficulty, except in the 2010–15 format overhaul, where the contestants were faced with a round of ten questions of random difficulty, followed by a round of four questions of increasing difficulty. Each question is worth a specified amount of money; the amounts are cumulative in the first round, but not in the second. If at any time the contestant gives a wrong answer, the game is over and the contestant's winnings are reduced (or increased, in the first two questions) to $1,000 for tier-one questions, $5,000 for tier-two questions, and $50,000 for tier-three questions.
However, the contestant may choose to stop playing after being presented with a question, allowing them to keep all the money they have won to that point. With the exception of the shuffle format, upon correctly answering questions five and ten, contestants are guaranteed at least the amount of prize money associated with that level. If the contestant gives an incorrect answer, their winnings drop down to the last milestone achieved. Since 2015, if the contestant answers a question incorrectly before reaching question five, he or she leaves with $1,000, even on the first question that is worth only $500. For celebrities, the minimum guarantee for their nominated charities is $10,000.
Prior to the shuffle format, a contestant left with nothing if they answered a question incorrectly before reaching the first milestone. In the shuffle format, contestants who incorrectly answered a question had their winnings reduced to $1,000 in round one and $25,000 in round two. Format history Original format (1999–2008) From 1999 to 2002, 10 contestants played a round of Fastest Finger to determine who would play in the hot seat. The participants would be confronted with one question and four answers, and they would have to set the four answers in the correct order (ascending, chronological, etc.) in the fastest time. The competitor who did so correctly in the fastest time would play. If nobody got the correct order, the round was played again, and when a tie breaker occurred, the remaining participants answered a second Fastest Finger question.
This round was removed when the syndicated version began in 2002, though it returned in 2004 for Super Millionaire and in 2009 for the 10th Anniversary shows. The format remained unchanged, except for changes to the money staircase and the addition of a new lifeline, until 2008.Clock format (2008–2010) In 2008, the format was altered to include a time limit on each question. The amount of time for each question was as follows:. Questions 1–5: 15 seconds.
Questions 6–10: 30 seconds. Questions 11–14: 45 seconds. Question 15: 45 seconds, plus the total of all unused time from the previous 14 questionsThe timer began to run as soon as the four answer options were revealed, and the contestant had to give a final answer before it reached zero. If time ran out, the game ended and the contestant left with whatever money they had won to that point. If this happened while the Double Dip lifeline was in effect, the contestant's winnings were instead reduced to the last safe haven they had reached.While the clock format was in use, the contestant was shown the categories of all 15 questions in the order they would be asked.Shuffle format (2010–2015) The format was overhauled in September 2010, splitting the game into two rounds. The first round consisted of 10 questions, each in a different category and worth a different amount from $100 to $25,000. Both the category order and the amounts were randomized at the start of the game, with the latter hidden from the contestant's view.
The difficulty level and value of each question were not tied to one another. The value of each question was revealed only after the contestant answered it correctly or chose to 'jump' (skip) it; a correct answer added the money to the contestant's bank, while a jump put the value out of play. The maximum bank from this round was $68,600.
If the contestant missed a question in the first round, they left with $1,000, even if their bank was lower than this total. Choosing to stop allowed the contestant to keep half their bank.The second round presented four questions of increasing difficulty in the traditional format, each of which augmented the contestant's total winnings to a set value. A miss in this round reduced their winnings to $25,000. Categories for these questions were not given ahead of time.From 2011–2014, some weeks were 'Double Your Money' weeks, in which one first-round question was randomly designated as being worth double value.
The maximum potential bank from this round thus became $93,600.Final format (2015–2019) With the hiring of new host Chris Harrison, the format was changed once again to resemble that of the original Millionaire. Each contestant faces 14 general-knowledge questions of increasing difficulty, with no time limit or information about the categories. Regis Philbin, host of the original network versionThe original network version of the U.S. Millionaire and the subsequent primetime specials were hosted.
When the syndicated version was being developed, the production team felt that it was not feasible for Philbin to continue hosting, as the show recorded four episodes in a single day, and that the team was looking for qualities in a new host: it had to be somebody who would love the contestants and be willing to root for them. Was initially offered a hosting position on this new edition, but declined the opportunity almost immediately.
Eventually, who had previously competed in a celebrity charity event on the original network version, was named host of the new syndicated edition.ABC originally offered Vieira hosting duties on the syndicated Millionaire to sweeten one of her re-negotiations for the network's daytime talk show, which she was moderating at the time. When the show was honored by on its Gameshow Hall of Fame special, Vieira herself further explained her motivation for hosting the syndicated version as follows:I did the show because I fell in love with the show, and really, first and foremost, as a parent, I feel that there aren't that many shows on television that you can watch as a family. And when Michael Davies approached me and said, 'Would you be interested in hosting the syndicated version?' , I said, 'Just point me toward the contract! I am so there!'
From 2007 to 2011, when Vieira was concurrently working as a co-host of, guest hosts appeared in the second half of each season of the syndicated version. Guest hosts who filled in for Vieira included Philbin, and.On January 10, 2013, Vieira announced that after eleven seasons with the syndicated Millionaire, she would be leaving the show as part of an effort to focus on other projects in her career.
She finalized taping of her last episodes with the show in November 2012. While Philbin briefly considered a return to the show, was introduced as her successor when season twelve premiered on September 2, 2013.
On April 30, 2014, announced that Cedric had decided to leave the show in order to lighten his workload, resulting in him being succeeded by for the 2014–15 season. Crews was succeeded by, host of and its spin-offs, when season 14 premiered on September 14, 2015.
Production staff The original of the U.S. Millionaire were British television producers and Paul Smith, the latter of whom undertook the responsibility of licensing Millionaire to American airwaves as part of his effort to transform the UK program into a global franchise. Smith served until 2007 and Davies until 2010; additionally, Leigh Hampton (previously co-executive producer in the later days of the network version and in the syndicated version's first two seasons) served as an executive producer from 2004 to 2010. Rich Sirop, who was previously a supervising producer, became the executive producer in 2010 and held that position until 2014, when he left Millionaire to hold the same position with, and was replaced by James Rowley.
Vincent Rubino, who had previously been the syndicated Millionaire 's supervising producer for its first two seasons, served as that version's co-executive producer for the 2004–05 season, after which he was succeeded by Vieira herself, who continued to hold the title until her departure in 2013 (sharing her position with Sirop for the 2009–10 season).Producers of the network version included Hampton, Rubino, Leslie Fuller, Nikki Webber, and Terrence McDonnell. For its first two seasons the syndicated version had Deirdre Cossman for its managing producer, then Dennis F. McMahon became producer for the next two seasons (joined by Dominique Bruballa as his line producer), after which Jennifer Weeks produced the next four seasons of syndicated Millionaire shows, initially accompanied by Amanda Zucker as her line producer, but later joined for the 2008–09 season by Tommy Cody (who became sole producer in the 2009–10 season). The first 65 shuffle format episodes were produced by McPaul Smith, and from 2011 onward, the title of producer was held by Bryan Lasseter.
The network version had Ann Miller and Tiffany Trigg for its supervising producers; they were joined by Wendy Roth in the first two seasons, and by Michael Binkow in the third and final season. After Rubino's promotion to co-executive producer, the syndicated version's later supervising producers included Sirop (2004–09), Geena Gintzig (2009–10), Brent Burnette (2010–12), Geoff Rosen (2012–14), and Liz Harris (2014–16), who was the show's last co-executive producer.The original network version of Millionaire was directed by Mark Gentile, who later served as the syndicated version's consulting producer for its first two seasons; he went on to serve as the director of (which ran on ABC from December 2007 to July 2008) and (which aired on CBS from June 2008 to June 2009).
The syndicated version was directed by Matthew Cohen from 2002 to 2010, by Rob George from 2010 to 2013, and by Brian McAloon in the 2013–14 season. Former director Rich DiPirro (who later directed ) became Millionaire 's director in 2014, and was later replaced by Ron de Moraes after the 2016–17 season, who remained as director until the show's cancellation. Production The U.S. Version of Millionaire was a co-production of, a division of, and, a division of. 2waytraffic purchased Millionaire 's original production company in 2008, while Valleycrest remained throughout the show's history, and holds the copyright on all U.S. Millionaire episodes to date. The show was distributed by Valleycrest's corporate sibling (previously known as Buena Vista Television).The U.S.
Millionaire was taped at 's Television Center East studio on the of in New York from 1999 to 2012. Tapings were moved to 's Metropolis Studios in in 2013, and production moved to studios located in the following year. For the final three seasons, production relocated to in. Episodes of the syndicated version were produced from June to December. The show originally taped four episodes in a single day, but that number later changed to five.Origins When the U.S.
Version of Millionaire was first conceived in 1998, Michael Davies was a young television producer who was serving as the head of ABC's little-noticed reality programming division (at a time when had not yet become a phenomenon in America). At that time, ABC was lingering in third place in the ratings indexes among U.S. Broadcast networks, and was on the verge of losing its status as one of the. Meanwhile, the popularity of game shows was at an all-time low, and with the exception of, the genre was absent from networks' daytime lineups at that point. Having earlier created for and participated with Al Burton and Donnie Brainard in the creation of for, Davies decided to create a primetime game show that would save the network from collapse and revive interest in game shows.Davies originally considered reviving 's long-lost quiz show, with a new home on ABC. However, this effort's development was limited as when the producer heard that the British Millionaire was about to make its debut, he got his friends and family members in the UK to record the show, and subsequently ended up receiving about eight packages from different family members, each containing a copy of Millionaire's first episode.
Davies was so captivated by everything that he had seen and heard, from host 's intimate involvement with the contestant to the show's lighting system and music tracks, that he chose to abandon his work on the $64,000 Question revival in favor of introducing Millionaire to American airwaves, convinced that it would become extraordinarily popular.When Davies presented his ideas for the U.S. Millionaire to ABC, the network's executives initially rejected them, so he resigned his position there and became an independent producer. Determined to bring his idea for the show to fruition, Davies decided that he was betting his whole career on Millionaire 's production, and the first move that he made was planning to attach a celebrity host to the show. Along with Philbin, a number of other popular television personalities were considered for hosting positions on the U.S. Millionaire during its development, including, and, but among those considered, it was Philbin who wanted the job the most, and when he saw an episode of the British Millionaire and was blown away by his content, Davies and his team ultimately settled on having him host the American show. When Davies approached ABC again after having hired Philbin, the network finally agreed to accept the U.S.
With production now ready to begin, the team had only five months to finish developing the show and get it launched, with Davies demanding perfection in every element of Millionaire's production. Audition process With few exceptions, any legal resident of the United States who was 18 years of age or older had the potential of becoming a contestant through Millionaire 's audition process. Those ineligible included employees, immediate family or household members, and close acquaintances of SPE, Disney, or any of their respective affiliates or subsidiaries; television stations that broadcast the syndicated version; or any advertising agency or other firm or entity engaged in the production, administration, or judging of the show. Also ineligible were candidates for political office and individuals who had appeared on a different game show outside of cable that had been broadcast within the past year, was intended to be broadcast within the next year, or had played the main game on any of the U.S. Versions of Millionaire itself.Potential contestants of the original primetime version had to compete in a telephone contest which had them dial a toll-free number and answer three questions by putting objects or events in order. Callers had ten seconds to enter the order on a keypad, with any incorrect answer ending the game/call. The 10,000 to 20,000 candidates who answered all three questions correctly were selected into a random drawing in which approximately 300 contestants competed for ten spots on the show using the same phone quiz method.
Accommodations for contestants outside the New York City area included round trip airfare (or other transportation) and hotel accommodations.The syndicated version's potential contestants, depending on tryouts, were required to pass an electronically scored test comprising a set of thirty questions which had to be answered within a 10-minute time limit. Contestants who failed the test were eliminated, while those who passed were interviewed for an audition by the production staff, and those who impressed the staff the most were then notified by postal mail that they had been placed into a pool for possible selection as contestants. At the producers' discretion, contestants from said pool were selected to appear on actual episodes of the syndicated program; these contestants were given a phone call from staff and asked to confirm the information on their initial application form and verify that they met all eligibility requirements.
Afterwards, they were given a date to travel to the show's taping facilities to participate in a scheduled episode of the show. Unlike its ABC counterpart, the syndicated version did not offer transportation or hotel accommodations to contestants at the production company's expense; that version's contestants were instead required to provide transportation and accommodations of their own.The syndicated Millionaire also conducts open casting calls in various locations across the United States to search for potential contestants. These are held in late spring or early summer, with all dates and locations posted on the show's official website. The producers make no guarantee on how many applicants will be tested at each particular venue; however, the show will not test any more than 2,500 individuals per audition day.In cases when the show features themed episodes with two people playing as a team, auditions for these episodes' contestants are announced on the show's website. Both members of the team must pass the written test and the audition interview successfully in order to be considered for selection.
If only one member of the team passes, he or she is placed into the contestant pool alone and must continue the audition process as an individual in order to proceed. Music Originally, the U.S.
Millionaire carried over the musical score from the British version, composed by father-and-son duo. Unlike older game show musical scores, Millionaire 's musical score was created to feature music playing almost throughout the entire show. The Strachans' main Millionaire took some inspiration from the 'Mars' movement of 's, and their question cues from the $2,000 to the $32,000/$25,000 level, and then from the $64,000/$50,000 to $500,000 level, took the pitch up a semitone for each subsequent question, in order to increase tension as the contestant progressed through the game. On GSN's Gameshow Hall of Fame special, the narrator described the Strachan tracks as 'mimicking the sound of a beating heart', and stated that as the contestant worked their way up the money ladder, the music was 'perfectly in tune with their ever-increasing pulse'.The original Millionaire musical score holds the distinction of being the only game show soundtrack to be acknowledged by the, as the Strachans were honored with numerous ASCAP awards for their work, the earliest of them awarded in 2000. The original music cues were given minor rearrangements for the clock format in 2008; for example, the question cues were synced to the 'ticking' sounds of the game clock. Even later, the Strachan score was removed from the U.S. Version altogether for the introduction of the shuffle format in 2010, in favor of a new musical score with cues written by Jeff Lippencott and Mark T.
Williams, co-founders of the Los Angeles-based company. Set The U.S. Millionaire's basic set was a direct adaptation of the British version's set design, which was conceived. Paul Smith's original licensing agreement for the U.S. Millionaire required that the show's set design, along with all other elements of the show's on-air presentation (musical score, lighting system, host's wardrobe, etc.), adhere faithfully to the way in which they were presented in the British version; this same licensing agreement applied to all other international versions of the show, making Walmsley's Millionaire set design the most reproduced scenic design in television history. The original version of the U.S. Millionaire's set cost $200,000 to construct.
Millionaire's was handled at different times by David Weller, Jim Fenhagen and George Allison.Unlike older game shows whose sets are or were designed to make the contestant(s) feel at ease, Millionaire's set was designed to make the contestant feel uncomfortable, so that the program feels more like a movie thriller than a typical quiz show. The floor is made of beneath which lies a huge dish covered in mirror paper. Before the shuffle format was implemented in 2010, the main game had the contestant and host sit in chairs in the center of the stage, known as 'Hot Seats'; these measured 3 feet (0.91 m) high, were modeled after chairs typically found in, and each seat featured a computer monitor directly facing it to display questions and other pertinent information. Shortly after the shuffle format was introduced to Millionaire, Vieira stated in an interview with her Millionaire predecessor on that the Hot Seat was removed because it was decided that the seat, which was originally intended to make the contestant feel nervous, actually ended up having contestants feel so comfortable in it that it did not service the production team any longer.The lighting system was programmed to darken the set as the contestant progressed further into the game. The building that housed the Californian version, shown here after its 2004 closure.was an attraction at the theme park (when it was known as Disney-MGM Studios) at the in and at in. Both the Florida and California Play It! Attractions opened in 2001; the California version closed in 2004, and the Florida version closed in 2006 and was replaced byThe format in the Play It!
Attraction was very similar to that of the television show that inspired it. When a show started, a Fastest Finger question was given, and the audience was asked to put the four answers in order; the person with the fastest time was the first contestant in the Hot Seat for that show. However, the main game had some differences: for example, contestants competed for points rather than dollars, the questions were set to time limits, and the Phone-a-Friend lifeline became Phone a Complete Stranger which connected the contestant to a Disney cast member outside the attraction's theater who would find a guest to help. After the contestant's game was over, they were awarded anything from a collectible pin, to clothing, to a Millionaire CD game, to a 3-night. ^ 'Who Wants to Be a Millionaire'.

Thank you very much, it's very nice!But on the other hand there is a problem with the phone-a-friend-lifeline. On some question-levels it causes crashes.In the 1st round it's at question no. 7, 8, 9, 11, 13, 14.In the 2nd round this happens at no. 6, 9, 11, 12 and sometimes more often.The ones I told you about are reproducible.Is there a possibility to fix this?Another thing: It would be also nice if we could work about a localisation-option for this software. As lots of people (like me) are not familiar with opengl and/or glut maybe there could be a gui to replace the background logo and other graphics, text and so on. I would really like to change the game easily into German, so I could use it with my students at school.Anyway: Thank you very much!
