Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?

Summary of Game Show
Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (also referred to by some as simply Millionaire) is an American television quiz show based upon the British program of the same title, which offers a maximum prize of $1,000,000 for correctly answering a series of consecutive multiple choice questions. Originally, as in the UK edition, contestants were required to correctly answer 15 questions of increasing difficulty, but in 2010, the format was modified so that the contestants are now faced with 14 questions of random difficulty. The program follows the same general premise as its original UK counterpart, and is one of many international variants in the Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? franchise.

The original version of the US Millionaire show aired on ABC from August 16, 1999 to June 27, 2002, and was hosted by Regis Philbin. The current syndicated version of the show began airing on September 16, 2002, and is hosted by Meredith Vieira. It continues to air in syndication five days a week with Vieira unless otherwise noted on the show's website. The tenth season of the syndicated version of Millionaire premiered on September 5, 2011, and with it came the show's introduction to high-definition broadcasting.
