#WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire - Розваги
So call this self indulgent or whatever you like but I have been shared this video so many times and other and thought I could clarify a few things:
- I am not an actor, I'm a regular guy from Halifax, who now works in a law firm doing an open university degree.
- I applied for the show, went for various background checks and everything else that comes with it.
- I was the third person on fastest finger first so wasn't "chosen" to sit in the chair.
- This question was my 12th question and as the next question shows I had the knowledge.
- Yes it was an extremely fortuitous stroke of luck on that question, but so was the Lightning seeds question, as I was listening to them in the car on my way over, surely they didn't know that too?
- As soon as I was in the green room the first thing told to me was that you are going to be questioned on this and people will claim cheating also, however the question setter is independent and doesn't even know who gets the questions, it just so happened to be that I was the first person on the week to get to that question.
- Yes my prosthetic is bionic, yes the joke was funny, yes I laughed, no I'm not offended.
- The tattoo was meant to break the walls, yes it's comedic, but as most disabled people can attest there is nothing worse than staring and not asking, the tattoo was meant as, if you can laugh then I'm comfortable about talking about it.
You forgot to mention you are now a PIMP 🤣 Hero
@@leemurf2322 🤣🤣cost of living mate
@@garethkendall8077 sorry to hear about the missus mate
Well done, Gareth! 👏🏼
I’m so glad that something positive came from your tragedy- well done!
This reminds me a story of a Liverpool fan who lost a leg with a tattoo of the LFC badge with the "You'll never walk alone" moniker, but it was amputated in such a way that the word "alone" was removed, while leaving the rest still intact enough to be legible, so it just said "You'll never walk".
Tattoo fixers 😎😎
Lmao, thats sad in one way
You'll never win anything
That guy was on Tattoo Fixers, wasn’t he? They ending up patching it up
I read about that 😂 sad about his leg tho
"Not in the castle, calm down".
Now I'm imagining his leg got chopped off by the executioner's axe, and I'm laughing too hard lmao.
this is too funny🤣
In some lovely torture device
It was just a misdemeanor lol
He accidently offended the scots and by ancient tradition they must take his leg in a ceremony at the castle
Skyrim!
He's got a good sense of humour, losing a leg, well done, you don't get your leg back but £125 grand will help you out
To make a working prosthetic leg
In couple more years he could get a fully working leg though, thanks to Neuralink and better prosthetics
@@blinded6502 even regular prosthetics are crazy expensive
@@blinded6502 Neuralink is barely working right now, and currently under investigation for animal cruelty (most of the test apes died). I'd rather trust valve who already have a prototype of a non-invasive brain monitor.
@@blinded6502 Neuralink should not be trusted. The people who will trust it first is amputees and people paid off though, then they'll try to convince others until you see near androids walking around being controlled by private entities, and you'll have to pay MTX to get more features, as well as if they don't like you, then they can send a small charge somewhere into the brain and kill you or make you into a vegetable. But you'll have signed a waiver so your family can do nothing about it, even talk about it or be sued for defamation.
I love this mans mentality, how to laugh in the face of adversity. If anyone deserved some good luck in his life its this guy. Love the way Clarkson had banter with him and he laughed along with him.
Seems more like if you don't laugh you'd cry, many people deal with trauma like that.
When you've flatlined 5 times, nothing will ever bother you again. Not even Clarkson
He didn't tell the whole story he was semi conscious during operation as well at some point
It's almost as if a victim mentality is detrimental to your life
Victim mentality is only detrimental if you let it. Humour is a great coping mechanism. I have been through testicular cancer, I told my family and friends that I now have a new job litter picking on Wimbledon Common, yes I am a Oneball of Wimbledon Common! So much better to have people laughing than that awkward silence while they think of what to say!
Was waiting for Jeremy to say sorry it’s not Loch Ness then say I’m only pulling your leg
😂😂😂😂😂
Missed opportunity right there 🤣 🤣 🤣.
The producer wouldn't let him.
@@jacobreisser8034 how do you know?
🤣 aww that would have been class 🤣
This dude really just had a protagonist moment where his tragic backstory happened exactly in the place that he needed to know in the present day conflict.
Like slumdog millionaire.
He sure had a leg up on that question
Truly
What a legend. What are the chances of that question coming up too! Sorry to hear about his trauma, but really happy to see his sense of humour, humbleness and fortune come across on TV.
chances must be 1 in 8 billion..... since I don't think that'll ever happen again
they ran a database search for questions that have the answer of where the crash happened and then hand picked it
@@Maebbie Yes seeing that he either appeared the day before when Jeremy said ' WhenI was
talking to you yesterday'. Looked liked a feel good ratings for the show anmd gave the contestant
a leg up. Pardon the pun. When people say wow that is one in a million chance, lucky fellow. THey are quad jabbed.
Believe anything
@@markf3229 They have loads of guests to get through, one 'session' is often filmed over 2 days, like a lot of game shows. They're just being more honest about it.
@@lanteanboy Well no, there aren't 8 billion different towns with castles in them.
You can see the trauma in his eyes as he was asked that question. But still maintaining the strength to tell others to chill out. Tuff dude bc he still has humor in his soul!
Agreed, the guy had obviously never been in a museum in his life.
And the fact that he can still laugh is good
1:41 you can see the small smile come across his face as he hears the question, brilliant
Of all the questions in the world that could’ve been asked, they ask this. Remember, it’s a tv show. They wanted him to tell his story.
That's probably why that was the 125k question, they probably calculated that he wouldn't be able to pass the museum question so gave him that "softball" question instead of the museum question
@@vexile1239 They don't have control over that. There's extremely strict protocols because of previous cheating scandals on quiz shows.
Shame about the leg though, seems like a nice dude. Shitty things only seem to happen to nice people, glad something nice has happened for him, 125k is amazing! love things like this
And it got a lot worse for him. I know Gaz really well, grown up with him. His wife Jenna blew the money and ran off with another fella
@@leemurf2322 that’s rough, was that recent?
@@leemurf2322 "His wife Jenna blew the money and ran off with another fella" Good for Him :)
@@leemurf2322 ofc, fcking woman
Never get married!
@@ChasseurTueur She didnt have anything when she left him, luckily he got to keep the house she invested a lot of the money in 🤣
Humour is often a great way to deal with trauma. That's why humor tends to thrive in even the most tragic and desperate situations. Props to this man. What an absolute champ. Hope he's been enjoying his £125k! Clarkson was great here too.
I remember a story once where a man was doing some work while on a ladder and he wound up falling off of the ladder and landing *FACE-FIRST* onto an up-turned power drill that drove the drill bit straight through his left eye, and yet according to the paramedics and doctors, he was actually *CRACKING JOKES* even with a freaking *DRILL BIT* lodged in his *SKULL* of all things! The guy literally lost his eye, and yet he was cracking jokes to the paramedics and doctors trying to treat his wounds and remove the drill bit from his skull (which they ultimately removed via the reverse of how it got lodged into his skull in the first place, by slowly rotating it the opposite way as the manually pulled it out). The fact that the guy was able to not only stay that calm but also *crack jokes* even with a drill bit lodged in his skull is absurd to me.
What's fucking sad is that the state of society and politics can only be handled with humour anymore...
I had a tumour removed from my spinal cord and it damaged the nerves on the right side of my body. I have no feeling at all in my right leg so after learning to walk again, it drags on the ground. My daughter sings 'everyday I'm shuffling' when i walk around the house and I couldn't be happier 😂
Nessie ate his leg? 😱. That's the story I'd tell everyone if I lost my leg in Inverness
Agreed!
So happy for this young man, my Dad lost his leg when he was 17, in an accident at work, he was badly injured & also broke his back, they managed to save one of his legs & he was one of the first people in Britain to have this surgery that uses veins from one leg to save the other, he never let it define him always worked & provided for his family he was a great Father & Grandfather sadly missed by us all.
This is brilliant, what a guy. I couldn’t be happier if I won the money myself, good luck mate
Honest to god he deserved that
I know he can be a complete Pratt at times, however will say that Clarkson's interaction is brilliant with the contestants
Underneath the persona Clarkson is a great man I reckon
@@kingt0295 well I thought he handled himself well in Clarksons farm, he seemed pretty sincere most of the time and I think probably a true reflection of his character.outside of the persona we see
@@ethanpunto9222 I never really understood the hate he gets, he clearly plays the buffoon, Hammond the comic relief and James as the brains. I think his only real crime is that he isn't pc
@@click8708 no it's more because of the unprovoked assault he did to a top gear producer
@@bindletinn No it wasn't, people hated him WAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY before that happened.
Was in Malta recently for the Malta darts open,and a guy was playing who had had 2 artificial legs from the knee down and this is 100% genuine his nickname on the back of his dart shirt was " TWO LEGS DOWN" I f##king love that type of humour,good on the guy and I told him so.
This is why we love darts.
@@kianallan 100% this.
Thats epic humour right there 🤣🤣
My older sister is friends with a man who lost his left arm and leg in an accident. Years ago, someone cracked a joke to him about how his prosthetics must have cost him an arm and a leg, and now he repeats the joke to every new person he meets. Haha.
@@Kumahachi8 The best remedy is always humour.
Love this dude. Glad he pulled through. Loosing a leg is a small price to pay for staying alive. I also respect that he knew when to quit. Even if he would have gotten the answer right. 👏
You'd like to live without leg? What for?
@@OldSchoolOfMasters I said I'd rather loose a leg then loose my life mate.
@@borislav6561 omg why? How can u love living so much. Can you teach me? I just cannot get it.
Hiw old are u?
@@OldSchoolOfMasters honestly, I hate living but I keep on living for my parents. I'm 35 years old. Just gotta stay strong, focus on the positive, try to improve yourself any way you can, don't let things get you down. Drink antidepressants if you have to, they help.
@@borislav6561 interesting mind you have, okay. Good luck.
This is like that clip of the reporters asking if the old man had seen some random soccer match from 60 years ago, and the guy was like “Yeah, I was the goalie. I’m Tommy!” 😂
That man gave me an insight into a wonderful human being. Great win
Lots of disabled people have this mentality.. Sometimes you have to accept it and have a good laugh, mad respect for this guy ♥️
For 125,000 it was an easy question; but great backstory and resilience from the contestant - great mentality and view on life.
Yeah I mean lock ness is the one everyone would had heard of so I was surprised it was correrect too .
Only an easy question if you know the answer
I guess loch ness and i had no ides what the question was on about. That was soley due to the fact its the only one ive heard of so honestly OP has a point.
@@kek22219 for a 125k question i would have thought loch ness was the bait answer
How is some extremely obscure trivia about a castle ruin easy?
Gareth Kendall. Epic guy. Deserved every penny of this win.
While some would say that his leg wasn't worth 125,000 quid, the story he has to tell and the fact that he knew where the ruins of Urquhart Castle were because of his accident are worth that much, and more.
I really doubt that
Nothing is worth losing a leg, except for your life.
Bro he flatlined 5 times. Nothing "worth it"
His leg wasn't worth 125000, his leg was worth more than 125000, doesn't really matter. It wasn't a guarantee he'd be on the show, he's lucky to be alive, and his leg wasn't like an exchange for the money. Some people really are dumb enough to think that way.
Granted I would have guess Loch Ness simply because it's the only familiar word, you know, Lochness monster. So yeah, the leg wasn't worth 125k.
He knew what he was doing when he said "good fortune!" This guy's too good of a comedian to miss the opportunity!
Some said that Chris Tarrant couldn't be replaced as the host of Who Wants to be a Millionaire. Jeremy Clarkson is a brilliant choice to replace CT......
I had my doubts but I'd say better than Chris .
Sorry but couldn’t disagree more, Clarkson is incredibly awkward for some reason presenting this
@@blitzsah very
I prefer JC over CT
It’s Jeremy clarkson he’s just naturally funny
Given that it's Jeremy, I cannot believe he didn't call him a total leg end
Well, he could have given him a leg up
Maybe he was considering it
I worked in a garage and the guy they used to call in to fit various hand controls or adaptations to motability vehicles had no legs. He used to shuffle around on his backside while working. I went over one day and he said "listen boss I'm sorry if you think I'm arsing about but it's what I do, if you want to kick my backside you'll need to lift me up first". I wasn't his boss and didn't know where to look or what to say and he was laughing like mad at my obvious embarrassment.
And you can imagine, a few weeks after that coming out and saying to the guy "You cant come around here legless and go arsing about like that. get back to work"
Being heard by some dip shit woke clown and getting hauled off for hate speech.
Shout out to this guy for having a great humor about what he's been through.
I've broke my neck twice. The first time I had a less than 5 percent chance of surviving and a less than 2 percent chance of walking again. They told me I'd be in the hospital for months. I was out the hospital walking in 3 weeks. I can only imagine flatlining 5 times that's crazy.
"No no not at the castle, chill out" hahaha
I saw someone with one leg with the same thing tattoo'd just above where it was removed. Massive respect for people like that.
Fair play lad shows over any hardship you can soldier through
The smile when the question popped up 😂👌 quality lad lol
dies 5 times, loses his leg, makes an internet famous joke, and wins 125k on a question about the very place he lost his leg!
this guy is definitely the main character!
and he needs another tattoo about how he died 5 times and still made it out alive with a 2% chance!
Incredible slumdog millionaire-like moment there. Could see in his eyes hes still hurting mentally. I hope he recovers from that trauma
The fact that he can laugh at himself is a beautiful thing!
Not a lot of people can bounce back.
He lost a leg, but he kept his humor and even replied to the video here.
Thanks for being awesome, Gareth!
"Is this your final answer?"
"Just as this is my final leg."
It's good to see Clarkson is still kicking on tv over there, I miss top gear
Appropriate choice of words
Is it not a telling about the values of ITV that, while Clarkson kicks and insults women and people of other races, they continue to pay him as a presenter?
@@antispindr8613 What is a woman?
Okay, Mr Petrol Head needlessly insulted women in general, and one woman particular.
Nooooo you can’t insult queen Megan!! Never mind that it was an innocuous GOT reference
What a BRAVE man = Embracing life as it is
And that, right there, is the true essence of being human. Laughing at the shit life throws at us, and finding a way to pull through.
That’s some slumdog millionaire stuff right there! What a coincidence
I doubt it's a coincidence. They were making a big deal about his leg throughout, so this is clever scripting.
Good for you buddy! Glad you're still with us!
Well done 👏 mate, you deserve every penny 👍
I was so hoping he was right god bless him well deserved 👏👏👏👏👏👏
It’s a good job you only used one p in hoping as well !! 🤣
Amazing segment - sorry about the loss of the leg - but incredible how it happened in the vicinity of Loch Ness related to the question! Likewise I knew the answer since I've long been a Loch Ness monster enthusiast and knew the name of the castle (fortunately lost no limbs in the area)...j/king. Your tattoo is amazing too...and your personality and sense of humour intact is really something. All the best...congrats on winning. Cheers!
What a wise dude for just taking the money and leaving. He's the real winner.
What a lovely and amazing character this gentleman has.
It feels like they're too nervous to laugh.
My neighbor has the same situation with a lost leg. His tattoo has the same pointing finger but says "I'm with stupid". I was in tears the first time I saw it.
Before you come down to the comments to claim it’s set up, it’s not!
Source: we produced it 😎
It’s staged 👍🤡
Yeah I know its not Gaz is a good friend of myne lives 10 minutes from me 😂
Yeah, that's exactly what I'd expect a sus production company to say 🤣
Source: because I said so. Nice source. Staged.
Can confirm. Source: My dad works at Nintendo.
Full of admiration for this man
so well-deserved. lovely guy.
I'm very sorry for him that he lost a leg... it's obviously a terrible thing to happen. He won a lot of money because of it. No amount of money can bring back your organic body part.... but I'm so happy for him that he won such a large amount of money. This was fate in an odd sort of way.
I have a large amount of money, but it doesn't cure my early-onset arthritis (very painful) but having money does help with ongoing treatment/hospital bills/doctors visits etc.
Winning something in a show like this is always a confidence booster. I'm very happy for him.
Well maybe eventually an amount of money could. I know if I had a trillion dollars and a missing leg you'd better believe there's be some major advances in personal organic prosthetics in a hurry.
But regardless totally agree. Good on him for getting the 125k.
“One foot in the grave”. …….hilarios!👏👏👏👏What a great sense of humour.
He definitely prepared himself to go there, most people dont make it that far, props to him
Spoke to a guy a few years back who had a Porsche Boxster with the number plate HA 51 LEG he was in a wheel chair and yes he only had 1 leg :)
Great win and just love JC great that he took over this game show.
Watching the man’s walk as he exited is what impressed me most. His walk looked so natural. You can only imagine how much work that took. Serious kudos there.
Truly extraordinary. Well deserved.
Wonderful!! I hope he has a fantastic time spending that money.
I'm so happy for him, having this mindset! ❤
God bless our fighters. Winners. I'm crying.
Now that’s a good old Yorkshire lad. Fantastic sense of humour and a head screwed on as straight as they come.
How to face up to adversity.
This man is my new hero❤❤❤❤❤❤
That was awesome!! Well done Garwth!!👏
.......after my husband lost his leg in a microlight accident 32 years ago .... saw the lawyer afterward to pursue suing the hospital for negligence and was told 'you haven't got a leg to stand on' ... funny but not funny.
Try to help someone...get sued. The joy of the current age we live in.
Tax payer to pay for his microlight negligence
@@dddddbbb loosing a leg due to negligence is not helping someone. It took 6 months before amputation. Dressings were not changed and the experimental cross over flap went rotten. He was a young man.
@@conradcodfish8638 no. When you have an accident and the resulting hospital care is negligent than that means the hospital should be held accountable. Rotten flesh and dirty dressings mean someone is not doing their job.
Haha
When he had his accident, he didn't think it would lead to winning £125000. Every action causes a reaction.
An equal and opposite reaction.
@@TheWorldListens125k is not equal to losing your leg though, not even close
@@WreckedRectum I was just correcting the op's half use of Newton's 3rd law.
*Depends how much you price your leg for*
Amazing!! The man just refused to die.
That was bonkers! Mad Respect for this man👍🌹
Have family friends in Scotland and have been fortunate enough to drive around the lochs. Been to Loch Ness and when he was describing the area I started remembering it. No Loch Ness monster. Still a beautiful place.
I didnt think it would be my favorite part, but when I seen him walk, I just was happy. Not jumping for joy but, truly just, happy.
I always admire people that suffer horrible mutilations like this guy and still are so positive and have a great sense of humor. I can only hope if (god forbid) I have an accident I can still mantain my humor and positive attitude
The one foot in the grave tat had me in stitches. Never let anyone tell you humor aint a healthy coping mechanism. Sometimes, it's what gets you through a really tough time.
Mark. Couldn't agree more re Jeremy. So glad this guy won!
Wow what a man,I love people who make a joke about their own misfortune it breaks the ice and gets them over awkward moments. I hope he has and still is enjoying his winnings and has a happy life
Good lad! Best of luck and deserves every penny, very intelligent 🥰
I hate it when the crowd goes aaaaah when the candidate would have won. Even when they don't even know the answer or the question they have to pick an answer and the stupid responds comes anyway. No you've done an great job and by the looks of it it's an life changing experience for the bloke. Well done mate, enjoy it
Of course the Loch Ness monster exists, it ate this lad‘s leg
You are such a tough man. You are the man!
The crowd was so dull, people are so afraid to offend others these days they can’t laugh at a simple joke. The tattoo was funny, Jeremy was funny, why is everyone so dull and cowardish?
I thought Jeremy was going to leave a joke after saying the lochness monster had been spotted there, thought he was about to say “it’s not real is it, but you never know maybe it’s just your leg floating around the lake” 😂😂😂
Almost had me in tears
Lol I thought the same thing !!
"I found a joke funny, but no one else did so they must all be cowards."
Well people end up being targeted and harassed these days for what they think was a harmless joke, so people avoid these things out of fear of being turned into some kind of villain. A simply apology and recognising your mistake should be enough, but some people cannot accept that anymore.
I'm not the biggest fan of Clarkson, but he definitely has his moments and can be funny. I thought this video was quite amusing.
I'm from halifax nova scotia Canada and I died laughing when you said your tattoo. You're a comic God my man
I understand how that guy feels on that last question, that’s like going all in double or nothing in poker, but with the side option to back out and keep you earned money before showing the hand… and it’s worse when you know you backed out and could’ve won that one more bet, so I felt it when he said he didn’t wanna know 😂
What a lovely guy, wish he had got more !
A good sense of humour is a life saver the best medicine you can have.
The best family or friends are those that can make you cry with laughter😅.
Lol I love the host of this show. When he said that's a good stroke of fortune. We all got it, but it sounded pretty funny.
First time watching Jeremy on who wants to be a millionaire and he suits thr role
"There is no but is there?"
"I only lost my leg, I've still got that!" Would have been the A+ reply
Poor guy. He s so nice. All the best to you!!!!
God Bless You My Good Brother because your a Good Brother turning upset into Humour God Bless You Amen xxxxxxx and God Bless Your Earthly Family Amen xxxxxxx
Clarkson is genuinely happy for him.
What a great piece of TV.
I actually saw the original post on reddit at some point. Love it!
This guy is taking life like a champ! Side note: Clarkson on who wants to be a millionaire? He's perfect for that
I didn't see this one. Lovely man. God bless him. I hope he spent his money wisely.
Talk about a blessing in disguise
I thought this was an episode of top Gear for a second
Dude take “how much is your leg worth to you?” To another level lol
This dude ia such a good bloke it radiates from him.
Loved this 👏🏾👌🏾
I remember watching this as it was aired and I literally could not believe it when he said he knew it because of his crash. This is why I believe everything happens for a reason.
The reason he lost his leg is so he can win 125k on a show a few years later?
It’s more a mentality of there being a silver lining to it - an unseen benefit. Not that in the grand scheme of his life he had to lose the leg so that he could later win the money
your a bit thick
Strange Things Do Happen.......I Think He Was Rewarded For His Strength Of Character Creativity And Inspiration .........The Tattoo Is A Stroke Of Genius...... He Survived Because Of His Capacity To Inspire....He Was Already An Asset To Us All....But The Dosh Will Of Course Come In Handy.
