More Than A Number

Authored by Alvaro Jordan

My favorite television show to watch on my brand new satellite, that I got after looking at cable tv package prices, is definitely Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. This show originally aired in 1999 and was hosted by Regis Philbin. The show is now hosted by Meredith Viera. This show is on every day of the week and never ceases to amaze me. You can also watch this show on the ABC television network.

The basics of this game revolve around common knowledge of many subjects, the knowledge of the contestants, and a podium with the keys A, B, C, and D. The Fastest Finger round was one of my favorites but is not longer really popular. In this round the contestants were told to answer a question and whoever answered the fastest was allowed to enter the next round. There were many different questions asked and it was difficult to come prepared.

The hardest part of the game was when the selected contestant was put into a hot seat and asked to answer 15 multiple choice questions. This is the most interesting part of the game not only due to the questions asked, but the fact that anybody watching will have a chance to learn as well. I feel this is one of the best game shows out there.

The prizes for this game show are money prizes, but can range from 5,000 to 25,000 and higher.
