ABC's overall Nielsen Ratings suffered as a result of the show's decline in popularity. However, he had realized too late that a hot show like Millionaire would tire more quickly in prime time than in daytime.
However, to celebrate Millionaire's 10th anniversary, the show returned to ABC prime time in August with host Regis Philbin for a two week event. Meredith Vieira hosted the first 11 syndicated seasons. It was initially proposed and developed under the assumption that the prime time show would still be airing on ABC, but the prime time show was canceled a few months before the syndicated show premiered.
The syndicated version premiered in September , and began airing its fourteenth season on September 14, , and has earned Vieira two Emmies for best game show host. This version has no Fastest Finger question round, new contestants appear after the previous contestant's game ends. Unlike the original network version, where aspiring contestants made a phone call, answered a few questions correctly on the phone, and were randomly selected, leading to a Fastest Finger competition to determine the player in the hot seat, the current version uses a more traditional game-show procedure, similar to what is used for most games.
This toughens the contestant pool. Contestants, depending on touring tryouts or tryouts held at ABC's New York studio center, are required to pass a quiz between 30 and 40 questions which is electronically scored. Contestants who pass the general-knowledge test are then interviewed by production staff. From to , guest-hosts have appeared in the second half of each season due to Meredith's busy schedule. At its core, the game is a quiz competition in which the goal is to correctly answer a series of consecutive multiple-choice questions.
However, the format of the show has been overhauled multiple times along its lifetime. On all of the ABC versions including the Super Millionaire spin-off and the 10th Anniversary Celebration , ten contestants competed in a one question playoff, known as the Fastest Finger question, for the right to play the main game. During this round, the host would read one question and four items that had to be arranged in a specific order.
Each contestant would try to input the correct order, using keys on the podiums in front of them, with a time limit of 20 seconds. The person who did so correctly in the fastest time would join the host in the Hot Seat and begin the main game.
If two or more contestants tied on time, they would play an additional Fastest Finger question to break the tie. If none of the contestants answer the question correctly, they would all play as many Fastest Fingers questions as needed until at least one contestant gets it right.
If the main game ended and there was still time available for another game, the remaining contestants played another Fastest Finger round for a chance to play the main game. If any of the contestants are visually-impaired, the host would read the question and 4 choices all at once which are included in an envelope , then repeat the choices after the music began.
This round was removed when the syndicated version premiered in , but, however, it returned in for the Super Millionaire primetime spin-off and in for a special two-week event of the 10th Anniversary Celebration primetime shows, this round was removed again for the primetime reboot due to the lack of audiences because of the COVID pandemic. On the primetime version of the show and during the first eight seasons on syndication, a contestant was asked a series of up to 15 consecutive multiple-choice answers of increasing difficulty.
This would continue until either the contestant answered all 15 questions correctly, miss a question or decide to walk away with all of the money they had received thus far. Any of these conditions being met marked the end of a contestant's game. Up until the sixth syndicated season, there was no time limit, meaning that a contestant could take as much time to answer a question as they needed.
Most contestants who could not answer a question immediately often thought out loud, and tried to work out the answers by either elimination or other means.
However, in order for an answer to be considered valid and binding , the contestant must confirm it is what they intend to play by either stating Final answer , Final , or anything similar. The iconic phrase "Is that your final answer? However, during the first five questions, segments of contestants stating that their answers are final are often cut out or even do not happen in order to speed up gameplay.
Questions 5 and 10 were known as milestone questions, because if they were to be answered correctly, they would increase the contestant's minimum payout to the cash value they had attached.
If at any moment a contestant gave a wrong answer, their total winnings would be reduced to the cash value attached to the last milestone question correctly answered. Because there is no initial milestone question or bare minimum consolation prize, a contestant could leave empty handed and many contestants have if they give a wrong answer to any of the first 5 questions.
Because of this, historically, the producers were much more selective when it came to casting celebrity contestants than they were about casting regular contestants, and the other celebrity contestants that were not playing in the hot seat were allowed to assist the contestant currently playing in the hot seat for the first 10 questions.
For Season 1 of the Jimmy Kimmel primetime reboot, because there are no Fastest Finger rounds in this version, akin to the syndicated version, contestants are now allowed to bring a guest companion, "the smartest person they know", to assist them for the first 10 questions; after that, they become the Ask the Guest lifeline if they agree to trade in one of their other unused lifelines after passing the question 10 milestone.
Ken Basin 's Million Dollar Question. At the start of the seventh syndicated season , time limits were introduced to each question. The host would read a. The contestant is not required to wait for the host to read all the answers, they can commit to an answer as soon as it appears Alan Carver being the most notable example. Contestants had up to 15 seconds to answer questions one through five, up to 30 seconds for questions six through ten, and up to 45 seconds for questions eleven through fifteen.
However, any unused time from the first fourteen questions was added to the clock during the last question, giving contestants much more time to think through the million dollar question. If a contestant runs out of time before committing to an answer, they are forced to walk away with the winnings they had until that point, unless certain conditions are met.
During this format, contestants had access to a revamped money tree, that presented them the categories for all of the questions they had yet to answer. Also introduced during this era were Celebrity questions. Most often found in mid-tier questions, these were provided by notable individuals whose identities were not revealed until the contestant reached their special questions. Barring a few other exceptions, the clock format was identical to the original format in every other way.
These 10 money values were assigned at random to the 10 questions of the Super Mix round before gameplay began. At the start of the ninth syndicated season , the show was given a complete overhaul.
