Now I'll never know if I could hit that $50,000 thresh- hold like I consistently did at home (sigh).
This is a strange one.
The show seemed like it was still very popular, and had a devoted audience just like Jeopardy, Family Feud, and Wheel of Fortune.
I even find myself watching on occasion because it is still a little entertaining.
canceled after 17-years in syndication, 22 years overall...
I knew it would never last.

I think they made it less likely for someone to win the million in recent years.
I mean, I doubt getting on Who? was as challenging as Jeopardy!
Who? contestant were not all Jeopardy! player level skill.
Final answer?
I don’t think I ever watched the show. I certainly haven’t heard or thought about it at all, save for maybe when it was first promoted.
This show single-handedly birthed the reality-TV and game show craze of the 2000s. I think it really set the stage for the 2000s to become its own, much like Seinfeld’s 1989 debut set the tone for the 1990s.
