He invested his money, used it wisely, put money toward charity, humbly accepted his parody on SNL, and above of remained a good person.

@@toriyoung7591 I'd do the same, I'd slap anyone who didn't just flex on every one like" I already know the answer, I'm just gonna call my dad to tell him we gonna be rich."
This is probably one of the most badass things somebody has ever done on TV, the smirk on his face and the crowd going wild after he informs his dad are priceless.
Watched this episode when it happened. It's hard to describe just how awesome this was. No one had ever won the million. Then he comes along and breezes through every question. Calls his dad on the million dollar question making everyone think he didn't know the answer and could possibly fail on the question if he gets bad advice. What an awesome AWESOME moment in time. If you weren't there, you shoulda been.
I was there too. I was probably 12-13 yrs old and watched the show religiously. When I saw John win in such a confident way, my jaw dropped. Still one of the best tv moments for me
Well technically the clock running down was how long he had left to talk to his dad, not how much longer he had to answer the question. Still savage tho
This is one of the most “boss” thing that I have seen in my life. I was a senior in high school. My dad and I watched almost every episode together. I remembered when he called his dad to tell him that he won a million dollars, my dad and I just looked at each other, then we both made a really loud “WOOOOOOOWWWWW” and started high-fiving each other like we have won a million dollars 🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@ilkinhsnzad192 he still is, as a matter of fact, I went to his house for dinner couple weeks back and showed him the clip, it sure did bring back some good memories 😁
I love that he could have had a "perfect game" - all questions completed and all lifelines intact - but he sacrificed it for this legendary final boss move. Just incredible. Savagery level nine million.
Thanks for the Video! Apologies for chiming in, I am interested in your thoughts. Have you researched - Schallingora Brain Reconstruction Scheme (google it)? It is a good one off guide for learning how to acquire the mind of a millionaire minus the normal expense. Ive heard some super things about it and my GF after many years got cool success with it.
It has been so many years and I still remember his exact words . Dressing up in super expensive clothes is not cool, this level of confidence is cool. Absolute boss
"Hi dad ! I really don't need your help but this call is to tell you that I have won a million dollars " These words have been engraved in gold, in the history of the big show.
Actually, I think the phone line stays open, so the person on the other end can hear what happens. I seem to recall hearing that about someone who gave a wrong answer for half a million, and said he was 100% sure (while I was screaming NOOOOOOOOO!!) - he heard when Regis said the answer was wrong.
You can see the confidence in his face actually first showed up after hearing the B option. thankgod he didn't choose to overact, he act like a boss instead, which is epic and legendary.
He heard the question and you could see it in his face.. he thought “it can’t be this easy”. Whenever I need a pick me up, I always come back to this video. Really happy TV moment.
@@sh0g0kawada Who was called because of a lifeline that people use to get help from someone they trust and think they know something that themselves don't. yes.
@@LoveToSpootch lol you are ridiculous. If he wasn't a lousy father, he would be proud of his son's success (not to mention that his son took the chance to call him and let him know).
@@SESK98 Nah, $250,000. He walked away on a vintage trading card question I think. Really it was $125,000 but that's only the half he got to keep since he was forced to donate half of whatever he won
Rest in peace Regis! Thank you for being an entertaining part of my life not only as a game/ talk show host, but as an actor and overall entertainer, as well.
the moment when he said, "actually, dad i didn't need your help, i just want you to know that i won a million dollars", it was at this moment, the whole world was stuck in amazement for 1 sec 😬
Yamen Sahtout I don’t think you get it mate.. I’m pretty sure he knows what a paycheque is, and besides, they don’t really use cheques anymore- payments are often made digitally nowadays. He was quoting Donald Trump, you would know this if you haven’t been living in a cave, surviving off of the moisture of the rocks for the past decade.
When he called his father not to ask for help but to let him know he's going to win is such a remarkable scene...a good sons always wants to make their father proud
I have waited all my life to trow the confetti. My father has waited his life to trow the confetti. His father has waited to trow the confetti, and some day it will be you who will be waiting to throw the confetti.
This isn’t simply a game show highlight. This isn’t just game show history. This has become Americana. Many of us remember where we were, watching at home with our families when this happened. Still, the biggest mental flex I’ve ever seen. Just an absolute G.
I can't imagine the self control it would take to not just start shaking and having a mental breakdown after you realize that you know the answer to the million dollar question... I would be shaking uncontrollably and trying to stop myself from tearing up. This guy just calmly sat there like he was ordering a coffee at Starbucks!

KHCoasterKid plus he probably paid some taxes on it
Not a Carpenter anymore. He is now transformed into a Millionaire
Jessie Birax - he actually worked in the collections department for the IRS 😂
Jessie, do you want to be his wife?
@@Koenigjay And when he came back for the champions edition of Millionaire like a year later, he was still in the IRS
@@mrbow50001 Did he get another million on that?
@@SESK98 Nah, $250,000. He walked away on a vintage trading card question I think. Really it was $125,000 but that's only the half he got to keep since he was forced to donate half of whatever he won
Rest in peace Regis! Thank you for being an entertaining part of my life not only as a game/ talk show host, but as an actor and overall entertainer, as well.
His look/expression at :30 is an emotion I can't even fathom. He skimmed the question and immediately knew he won a million dollars
2:12 oh shit we've lost a lot of money.
No, because this first winner will bring the series great ratings which equals $$$$$
Le taxes :"not so fast bro , we have some kind of regulation here"
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
the moment when he said, "actually, dad i didn't need your help, i just want you to know that i won a million dollars", it was at this moment, the whole world was stuck in amazement for 1 sec 😬
Not whole world fucking idiot. I bet you 1000$ that all of Asia and Africa dont give a shit. And truly neither do I
Hi dad, i don't really need your help, i just want to let you know that im gonna win the million dollars
@@xaxad4529 who pissed in your cereal?
... Thats only a small loan of 1millon dollars
And billions and billions and billions...
Yamen Sahtout I don’t think you get it mate.. I’m pretty sure he knows what a paycheque is, and besides, they don’t really use cheques anymore- payments are often made digitally nowadays. He was quoting Donald Trump, you would know this if you haven’t been living in a cave, surviving off of the moisture of the rocks for the past decade.
Master of Puppets oh I tought just everybody gets that reference and I just realized that this guy lives under a rock
i remember watching this live on TV. absolute certified legend
I can't explain how much of a power play this is.
"This is the final answer heard all around the world... He's won a million dollars!" Bye, Regis
The MOST savage contestant I've ever seen. Dude called his parents to say hi instead of the question!!! yeah that's confidence.
As much as probably everyone would love to be him, I’d personally love to be his dad in that moment. I bet he cried with an insane amount of pride ❤️
When he called his father not to ask for help but to let him know he's going to win is such a remarkable scene...a good sons always wants to make their father proud
Why I am getting the feeling that he wanted to (put it in his fathers face)?
Especially that his father did not say anything after that..
@@the0arabian that or because the call got cut but only he knows for sure
Guys that were hired to dump the confetti’s:
Oh crap we finally get to dump this !!!!
I have waited all my life to trow the confetti. My father has waited his life to trow the confetti. His father has waited to trow the confetti, and some day it will be you who will be waiting to throw the confetti.
I think the most underrated part of the video was his confident chuckle at about 0:51.

Top 10 anime laughs of all time
Mans laughed like an anime villain 😂😂💀💀💀
Swear I was looking for this comment. XD
This isn’t simply a game show highlight. This isn’t just game show history. This has become Americana. Many of us remember where we were, watching at home with our families when this happened. Still, the biggest mental flex I’ve ever seen. Just an absolute G.
I can't imagine the self control it would take to not just start shaking and having a mental breakdown after you realize that you know the answer to the million dollar question... I would be shaking uncontrollably and trying to stop myself from tearing up. This guy just calmly sat there like he was ordering a coffee at Starbucks!
tankmaster1018 exactly!
I would be more stressed ordering from Starbucks
He does not rly care about money thats why
