Nancy Christy on Who Wants to be a Millionaire FULL RUN

- We've been missing her first 9 questions… until now! Here's Nancy Christy's COMPLETE run to the million. I also want to credit Sashinator0 for her last 6 questions, as I do not have that show, and I strongly encourage all of you to check out his channel if you haven't already as there's a lot more WWTBAM content there. He hasn't posted in a long time, but it bugs me when uploaders re-post shows and don't give a shoutout to the original poster, so I wanted to take the opportunity to do that here. Besides, it'd be really nice to have her complete appearance in one video, and I'd ask him, but he hasn't been on YT in years (plus, its not like someone else wouldn't have done it anyway at some point)

ua-cam.com/users/Sashinator0 - If you haven't already, please check out Sashinator0's channel, as without his uploads of part II of this video, we never would've been able to see her complete appearance. He hasn't been on youtube for a while, but he posted some great content back in the day, and I encourage everyone to take a look
Yes, this is the real me. It's now been 20 years since "my show" aired, and 8 years since I retired from the classroom. Millionaire was an amazing experience, and I thank you for posting the complete run so I can point folks in this direction. Nancy Christy
Congratulations on becoming the first female million dollar game show winnerNancy , 20 years ago this year, well done my dear.
Hi Nancy. I just saw your full run now. Watched the show a lot when it was on back then but didn’t see this one. Great job figuring out the opera house for 500k and going for it. I didn’t know that one but I was thinking it made the most sense. I had no clue on the grunion at all or Nancy drew!
Hi Nancy , I'm just wondering about your age now ? Haha 😅
Along with Kevin Smith, probably my favorite run on Millionaire
@@articmonkeyist I'm sure you can find links to the many newspaper articles that printed my age way back when. Do the math! 😁
The final questions were literally like watching a white woman version of Slumdog Millionaire
This is exactly what i thought!@!!!!!
I was in 8th grade when this happened and I was in her class.. I was also one of 3 students in her after school “Creative Writing Club," and she would sit with not just Millionaire but all the quiz game shows on after school. They asked the questions on the TV and she’d answer under her breath (without even looking at the screen) nearly instantaneously.. she prepared for this for a long time, and she deserved to win. She was a phenomenal teacher, one of the best I ever had. She actually continued to teach after she won! She did take some time off to do some bucket list stuff but she was still there for all her kids. Even now as adults she maintains relationships with many of us.. Ms. Christy is a wonderful and deserving woman!
And when the last question was asked I absolutely knew she had it.. that exact tidbit/fact about the Dentist is something she had told us in one of our classes just casually one day, so when I saw it pop up on the screen I knew she won. They held a private screening after school for the students before it aired on TV, so we all got to find out a few hours before the rest of the world. The entire school erupted into a thunderous roar, it was crazy, we all went hoarse from screaming
Thanks, Miranda! As I told you all many times, "Once you're in my class, you're mine forever!" 💖
@@engtchr8N did you tell everyone in your class that you won $1,000,000?
@fable9159 I didn't tell any of my students. Winning contestants have to sign an agreement NOT to tell, and they don't receive their winnings until 30 days after their episode airs. It's rumored that some contestants have lost their money because they went public beforehand. I wasn't taking any chances!
@@engtchr8N I heard you were on Wheel of Fortune back in the 1980s. How much did you win? It didn’t say anywhere
She shows how important it is to live a full life. She has personal stories for many of these questions.
Not practical for everybody on the planet. Come back to reality where most people don't have the money to do whatever whenever and have actual responsibility.
IIRC. Only her and Joe Trella were the only contestants to use all their lifelines before $32,000 and still win the million
I know. That’s crazy!
@holleringsmith3837 Uh...she's was a middle school teacher from Tulsa Oklahoma and a single mom of 3 kids. She worked for the California Dept of Interior which is why she knew the fish question. She was part of a performing group in Washington DC which is why she knew the last question.
I'm sure she knows more about actual responsibility than you. Don't make excuses for your own laziness and lack of knowledge.
That 500k question reasoning was just amazing... and the guts to actually go for it... Just incredible. Thank you for the upload!
Even more impressive a run considering she got no value out of the 50/50 or phone a friend. Seems like such a nice lady too :-)
She’s a celebrity naturally. Nancy has the personality that makes you a natural star ⭐️
The fact she didn’t even have any lifelines that she managed to get all the way to the end is amazing
OMG Yes! She whizzed through those last 6 questions like NOTHING!
Beast Mode
Joe Trela did that.
I think so did Bernie Cullen.
Bernie had two lifelines left at the end
I'm watching this in Stillwater and I'm thinking, well aware of how underpaid teachers are, especially in this part of the country, Tulsa is 110 miles from here, I can't think of anyone more deserving than her. Simply incredible! To raise two kids by herself and still have such a positive attitude towards life and my she had Meredith by her side, loved every bit of it! Congratulations to you Nancy! She deserves every penny of it.
Meredith: ...but no lifelines.
Nancy: I'm about to end this show's entire career.
boom bam bop bada bop boom pow
Even Meredith was so proud of her, much deserved win.
🥲
A real testament to her character for her to keep teaching for another 12 years after winning the million!
This truly is one of the best moments in Television Periodt. She was such a cool and collected contestant, and It is one of my favourite moments in the show's history. Meredith seems to be the most compassionate host I have seen on television and most fans probs miss her talent on the show. Would have loved to of been in that audience when this got filmed. I would love to genuinely sit down with Nancy and talk about this all day! such a special episode.
17 years ago and still the last full Millionaire run to the very end winning it all. Quite hard to believe it's been that long!!!!
Actually we had someone answer all 15 questions in Australia. And there have been over a 210 winners outside of the US. So if you will not count India or Japan, at least count the 2006 UK win and the 2016 AU win.
Still . . . Ten year gap between English speaking winners between 2006 and 2016. The Australian version started running with its 15 question format in 2005. The UK version terminated in 2014 or 2015 before being revived I think. I believe the AU version was terminated in 2019. This was not before the UK version was revived in 2018. Still hard to believe it has been 4 straight years without an English speaking winner. At least our 6 year drought ended for a million dollar question. Even with no audience present at taping, I am sure everyone was happy toSend in a picture of the Sandburg scoreboard saying "I'm sad I did not take a picture, but I am more happy to have caught one final game". see only our seventh English (US, UK & AU) $500,000 winner since 2008. At least there are people who have the knowledge to win the grand prize . . . Even if it never happens again. Plus Turkey had to wait 19 years just to have its first grand prize winner crowned. So 17 years is not that bad.
Holy moly !!! I’m stunned and amazed at this lady 😳.
Gosh she is amazing, she lost all of her helps from very early of the competition, even used 2 helps in 1 question and plow all the way thru 15 questions with confidence. Her reaction is genuine and adorable also. Judith Keppel was the first person who won this show in UK and Judith has completely different persona, calm and cool. They are both amazing.
I’m really really admire this lady. Hope she spends the rest of her life living in happiness and wealth. Absolute incredible !!!!
My favourite contestant ever! Such a cool and gutsy lady.
it was like Slumdog Millionaire with all these stories behind the answers
It's amazing how she draws on all her past experiences to get the win, it feels just like the climax to an anime or something.
THANK YOU! I've been looking for this for years.
Same!
Happy 20th Anniversary to this amazing moment!
May 8, 2003 - May 8, 2023
I don't believe in fate, but the amount of questions that fit so neatly into personal experiences or relationships she had had throughout her life, I wouldn't blame her if she did after this.
My mom told me later that it was almost like someone had been following me around and taking notes all my life! NC
Love the personal anecdotes included into her answers. Go Nancy!
Thank you! I've been waiting to see this for years.
Thank You Mary Burke from the prime-time version for leaving Nancy Christy all alone by being the first and only female millionaire!.
And the contestant right after her won 500k, the longest streak of correct answers between contestants in a row.
Crazy to see how long of a gap she left for someone else to win a million dollars. She's still the only female millionaire winner from this show too!
No Judith Keppel is the first and only female winner of Who wants to be a Millionaire in the UK.
@@Sunflowers9191 I was talking about the US version of this show
“What advice did they give?”
“Go for the million!”
“Well easy for them to say!”
Little did we all know...
What a way to end the Millionaire series finale: gambling but losing $475,000 by going for but missing the $1,000,000 question and plummeting to $25,000.
@@Frankie-O I was referring to what her students said to her when she asked them for advice. Though I can see what you’re calling back to, too. She pretty much told Ken Basin the same thing when he was going for $500,000. One won the million, the other won $25,000.
@@ShadowLinkxMasterdid Ken Basin really risk $475,000? What was he thinking?
@@fable9159Ken actually made an addendum after his show aired explaining the process behind his reasoning. He mentioned something about seeing a photo of LBJ holding a bottle of Yoo-hoo while meeting the Beatles. A photo in which he admits he wasn’t able to find since.
His choices narrowed down between Yoo-hoo and Fresca. He couldn’t imagine V8 being anyone’s choice of tap, and that it’s impractical to have it as such since it’s a veggie mixture. As for A&W, he believed it was too similar to Coke to be had on demand.
He regretted using Double Dip at $100,000, as his inkling should’ve been good enough to go without it. But then he theorized he may have used it on $500,000 for insurance.
Ultimately, if he saved Double Dip at the million, he would’ve got it.
@@fable9159 Ken Basin is a multi-millionaire now just from his lawyer career. Maybe he learned to not take stupid risks and it was good for him that happened.
Learned the answer to that MDQ in my eighth grade art class. Would've been just as excited as Nancy to get that question.
I watched this episode as a kid, and it was so exciting!
That Was, A Historical Moment On Who Want's To Be A Millionaire; How Awsome Is That.
The logical guess on the $500,000 question is awesome!
21:32 even snags the confetti like a boss
🎊
I still have several pieces of the confetti inside a shadow box of memorabilia from the show!
Fantastic!
This is just the BEST!!!
Just watch her reaction when she see the good answer pop up on the final question
She screams Kathy Bates to me. She is a beast! And deserving!
It amazes me how smart people are.
OMG! She read that treaty question s o s l o w... I just knew the friend wouldn't get the answer in on time.
This shows how important it can be to have a full life. Her knowledge often reflected her life experiences. Well done! By the way, her phone-a-friend is a history teacher who doesn't know about the infamous Molitov-Von Ribbentrop treaty in 1939? Hmm.
Just FYI, my phone-a-friend was an English and French teacher.
Hi. Wow! Thanks for replying. Belated congratulations on your big win. I supposed I'm biased as a history buff, but I'm often surprised and disappointed at how many teachers--regardless of their specialty--don't know much about history. @@engtchr8N
So as a fan of the original US run of the show, Regis will always be my favorite host but these moments between Meredith Viera and Nancy Christy, it really has endeared her to me. So yeah, shes definitely a close second fav now at this point...
She played a great game!
Mary Burke would have been a millionaire on the primetime version if she didn't walk away.
She was probably scared of losing $468,000. I probably would’ve kept the $500,000 unless I was like 100% confident I knew it. She had no lifelines so it was not worth the risk
The very 1st Millionaire lady and needed no lifelines, C and that’s my final answer
Congrats
🎊
The only reason I knew the $250k question is because I love the movie 'Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead'. I've seen that movie a million times & there's a scene where the boyfriend is talking about them in a beach scene.
This is Nancy Christy's full game on the American WWTBAM program (in the syndicated run's 1st season) & it's from two episodes aired May 2003. 🇺🇲 🇺🇲
Nancy Christy is the first & only woman on the American version of WWTBAM to win the $1 million dollar prize.
My Favorite
💯💸🎊
I wasn’t in the classroom, but I went to Carver!!! #918 #Wildcats
Nancy Christy, I will call you, "Ms. Millionaire of Meredith Viera" as the million-dollar prize winner.
Its Perhaps the Greatest Run to the Million Dollars in the Show's history. Had no lifelines after the $16k question. Took 2 huge chances at $16k & $500k.
To me it's close between her & Carpenter on the Greatest Run. Not knocking the other millionaires mind you.
KILLIN' IT in BEAST MODE
Joe Trela I'dalso add to that list, he was the 1st to use his lifelines before the $64k questioj
John Carpenter didn't need to use a single lifeline. Well Done!
@@mrbow50001 Joe Trela has a great argument too. As you pointed out, was out of lifelines after $32k. And his million dollar answer I consider a gamble because he leaning between the Moth and Roach.
@@Frankie-O still the greatest use of the phone-a-friend ever! Calling his Dad to tell him he's winning the Million.
17:56 When you just realize that you are going to win one million dollar because you know the answer to 100% and just have to hold back your emotions for a few more seconds 😂💪💪
18:26 History made

I love it when Nancy wins $1,000,000 on Millionaire

She used all her lifelines before reaching 32 thousand and she still won the million. Mad respect.
Similar to Joe Trela.
I Remember This
💸👏🎊
Besides the Emu question, those were the hardest first 5 questions ive ever seen on millionaire
They are hard as hell in 2023 🤣
21:34 What a catch
Those first 3 questions were tough lol
NANCY CHRISTY MILLONARIO
18:22 we have our 1st female as a millionaire!
Kati Knudsen but she didn't take hours on the questions and actually got the 500k question right, and was also a lot less cocky than Kati.

*NANCY CHRISTY: AAAAAAAAAAH!* 😍
*AELITA SCHAEFFER: OH MY GOD, NANCY!!!* 😍
I knew the world war 2 question. That was easy. I knew it wasnt italy because they were on the side of germany and Russia so I ruled them out right away. And you know it couldnt be the united kingdom as they were such a power house back then. It just had to be Poland.
I hated history in school but as an adult I love it now.

*NANCY CHRISTY: I'M GOING TO CRY!!!* 😭
And she was the ONLY woman to have ever won.
In the US yes, though a few have won $500k. It's back next month so there's a chance a female celebrity won this year (there's no civilians this season coming....ugh)

Do you know anyone who has the Meredith Vieria era of Millioniare from seasons 1-5 and the first handful of season 6?
My goal is to see all Syndicated episodes from Millionaire from seasons 1-5 and the first handful of season 6

regis never crowned a female millionaire
He could've had two in Pat Thompson and Mary Burke.
If I won the million dollars, I would hug Meredith and kiss her!
On the lips?

Waste of a 50/50 honestly. Phone a friend was tragic. Smart lady to even get that far with 2 wasted lifelines.

The only female millionaire on the American Who Wants to Be a Millionaire (at least so far)!
Gotta factor in Trans..
In which country this program was? And who was the host?
United States, host is Meredith Viera.
Is it just me, or did this syndicated version seem...harder? Than the primetime one? I felt like more people were going out early than in the primetime version.
There was a much larger audience at night so the sponsor could afford more winners.
Yeah the questions were much harder. That's why they only got two millionaires the "right way". Sam Murray only had to answer 11 questions plus only risk $25k for his Million Dollar question.
@@ChiSportsNut18 I think they really should have capped it to 250k or whatever and not gone so extreme on the esoterica, and just joked about the name being inaccurate. There is a lot of viewers who just can't think and play along at Jeopardy speed and enjoyed the slow pace and multiple choice of Millionaire, but aren't so slow as to prefer WOF or Family Feud instead. Personally I can answer a hard-ish Millionaire question at Millionaire speed and multiple choice as often as I can an easy Jeopardy question in time, and I'm annoyed how Jeopardy fans sometimes get very....smug, when Millionaire is brought up to them. It actually turns me off it a bit. It feels like a very elite attitude that not being able to respond often at Jeopardy speed means I should be watching Steve Harvey gagging over the word penis for five minutes, and it really rubs me the wrong way.

She got easy questions!
Its literally agreed upon by the quiz community that she did NOT have easy questions. Just because she knew some, doesnt make them easy. You sound dumb.
