Millionaire-a-thon today 1/11
Kevin Prather:
I'm pretty sure he wasn't on the Super Bowl show. They said the remaining questions he got were from the stack he got on his first appearance, and they had nothing to do with football. Also, I think he was the one who lost on the question about the glowing potato.
itiparanoid13:
i will say 1 thing. With the amount of lights on the Millionaire set, you think they would have a more impressive win celebration. The $100K RR win is more impressive. However, thats just something tiny and insignificant i noticed. this marathon is just wonderful.
Kevin Prather:
I think the win celebration is great. The confetti takes a long time to fall, which is good. (I hate the confetti on Pyramid.) The lights go in a good pattern, and certainly the win cue COULD be longer, but I think it's just fine.

Ed started playing on the 1/28/01 show that aired after the Superbowl. He got to the $200 question when the horn sounded and he returned Wednesday 1/31/01 where he struck out on the potato/tomato glowing veggie/fruit question at the $16000 level.
The Superbowl show that year didn't have all football questions. The Millionaire that aired on Saturday, January 29th, 2000 was the all football edition of WWTBAM, the year before.

Kevin Olmstead and Ed Toutant (The LATTER contestant hailing from my home state of Texas) were both on the Mega-Jackpot version of Millionaire.
When the show started up again in 2001, after going 71 shows without a winner, they decided to do a progressive jackpot that began at $1.71 million, and went up $10,000 for each of the next shows until it was won.
Kevin won $2.18 million, and Ed won $1.86 million.
