Kevin smith who wants to be a millionaire dead series#
Millionaire changed things up a bit by bringing in popular TV and touring comedian Cedric "The Entertainer" Cedric as host of the hit series after his agent persuaded producers to put some humor back into the show, after all, Meredith Vieira was seen as being a little dry and lacked charm and witty dialog with show contestants.
Meredith Vieira burned the candle at both ends by hosting this show at the same time she also co-hosted such NBC shows as Dateline NBC and Rock Center. The show made the questions harder and gave away less money to contestants. Meredith Vieira ushered in the show from a weekly network TV production into a daily syndicated TV show and public interest and viewership was maintained for a while, but execs at ABC ultimately damaged a successful brand by over-exposing the show to TV viewers, who eventually turned off in droves. Philbin saw the writing on the wall and quit while he was ahead, as he had no interest in working the show every day. Regis' popularity grew and when ABC decided to cash-in the brand by syndicating the show and making the show a daily occurrence on TV instead of keeping it the once-a-week format, Philbin took the show to record viewing numbers and ultimately saved ABC from being relegated to number four network channels in the US. The only real difference between the shows was the type of questions used and an increase in commercial breaks. All the details of the US show were a direct copy of the British show, including art, music, bumpers, camera angles, show format and the prime time transmission slot. The show used the same format used in the British version and their host Chris Tarrant. Regis was picked as the host to bring the US version to network television back in 1999. In 2016 the show moved from NYC to Las Vegas at the Caesars Entertainment Studios. Just don't forget to pay the taxes on your winnings. It's a great deal overall - get into a TV show taping for free, and maybe leave with a million dollars. Offered at each taping or in advance of the show, auditions give members of the public the chance to prove that they should be part of the show. In the world of New York TV show tapings, Who Wants To Be a Millionaire is rare in that it allows potential viewers to also be potential contestants.
