Regis actually explained why. This is Ed Toutant's second time on the hotseat. The first time he was on the hotseat, he was on an episode with bigger prize money. Regis did not explain in this video of why Ed came back though. Ed came back because he missed a $16,000 question his first time on the show and he was actually right on that question so he was given a second chance. His first episode had the bigger money, so they let him pick up from where he left off last time.
That was really great logical reasoning when he wasn't sure: "I don't think it was antiseptic because it seems like they would have alcohol in bottles to swab on."
When Ed initially appeared in the program, the show had a jackpot running for the $1M question, when he appeared it was at $1.81M, since the rule sheet he signed had that stipulation in it, bringing him back required millionaire to honor that rule, much like with the 10th anniversary the 9 contestants from the last episode who got invited to the daytime version played under the classic money tree because that was the rules they signed for, just sans a fastest finger with meredith.
@the2thomasklu8 My prayers goes out to the wonderful male millionaire winner. I grew up watching the show, and I was surprised to see him return back, and win $1.8 million plus.
for those who are wondering....... that particular season, they came back from the holidays and the producers decided to add $10,000 for each episode they went without a millionaire. At that time it was 86 episodes but Ed had a faulty $16,000 question. They invited him back to continue and he went all the way!
ColeyD Vlogs I still can't believe he's back I thought he lost $16,000 d did day invited them back I can't believe he won $1000000 that is the most amazing thing I saw in my life if he wins it will be amazing thank you
And not only that, but this was AFTER Kevin Olmstead's big win. This is the total Ed was going for, and they saw it fit he should continue going for it like he originally did.
no, he started replaying it from a new $16,000 question which cost him two lifelines to get right. I just started recording it from the $125k after realizing this guy could go all the way. you can read all of his questions in the angelfire link in the description for this video.
500k seemed easy. Only "notation" I was familiar with out of the 4 was math notations. If science was an option, might have been a little more trickier for some ppl.
@monahanpt His original run was during a point in the show where they basically kept increasing the top prize every time a contestant lost and kept going until somebody won (Kevin Olmstead won over 2 million this way). When he got the question wrong, the prize was 1.8 million so they had to keep it at that for him when he returned due to a bad question.
I’m a UK citizen. The US version of Millionaire never aired in the UK (save for a clip of John Carpenter’s million dollar win). I researched about Ed Toutant’s win on the Who Wants To Be A Millionaire Fandom website. He was so lucky to get a second chance after his original $16,000 question was deemed to be a bad question
Well, I'll tell u the facts. After complaints about that awkward question, someone said to bring this guy, and win 1.8 million dollars plus by went to the the stack of questions
I was thinking insecticide because of mosquitoes and malaria from that. Antiseptic would also make sense because of having to be in a trench(dirty feet and all that)
It has nothing to do with a rule sheet i'm sure anything they sign says that they can make changes. ABC just decided it would be more exciting to have him play for the big jackpot as he did originally, never expecting him to win it. The 9 contestants on the 10th anniversary were originally going to play under the new money tree with more difficult questions, it was a last second decision to change it.
There wasn't a winner for a long time so ABC did a thing where for every person who didn't win the million, the jackpot went up 10,000. So there were 86 people in a row without a winner before him.
I guess i'm wrong then. I remember it was a half hour show after a 90 minute rerun of the classic tv edition. don't know why I remembered it being december.
@tpir1972 He was in the fastest finger only on one, he got into the hotseat and ran out of time on the 2nd, he got to 16k and lost on the 3rd, and he was invited back to eventually win the jackpot you see here on the 4th.
that video was mine. My entire account got closed because of too many violations from videos of My Big Fat Obnoxious Boss. ABC doesn't seem to have an issue with millionaire videos.
I knew the answer for the last question, funny how i ended up gaining that knowledge just weeks befor i randomly decided to watch eps of this show today
no it wasn't, he just meant he would've been the first to miss the 15th question and assuming they didn't increase the jackpot again, the last to win over $1 Million. The show would go on for about 1/2 a year after this episode was aired.
When Ed Toutant previously appeared on an episode of January 2001, he originally won $1,000. But then, Ed returns to the show due to the $16,000 question error to continue his game.
I would have thought just because of the paranoid over rigging it he wouldn't say his hunches first. I know the writers picked the wrong remaining answer in advance but everyone joked about it being rigged on the night as you said your hunches
8:27 and now you know that during world war 2 soldiers from the usa 🇺🇸 used the 1st commercial aerosol cans to hold insecticide over an antiseptic a cleaning fluid or shaving cream
after there was no winner for over 70 shows, ABC decided to run an escalating jackpot that would increase the top prize by $10,000 for every day nobody won the million. Kevin Olmstead would win this jackpot.
I suppose that: Alongside the classic Million Dollar Check, Regis also give to who gets another check with the accumulated bonus cash (10,000 x non Millionaire). In Kevin Olmstead's case, the second check reports $ 1,180,000 of bonus. While in Ed Toutant's one, it wrote $ 860,000. In both cases, they're summed up with the canonic million.
You're thinking of his original appearance; he actually wound up with $1000 after losing on $16k. Upon watching his loss, I found three articles regrading the subject matter. I found out that ABC News wrote an article about it in 2000 and somehow misidentified the country in the question. I also found a BBC article on that topic from 1999 and one on Organic Consumers website written in 2000.
Of Course they had to bring Ed back. They messed him up with that dumbass question. I bet that if he had a diff question, he would have won the million the first time. but no matter now. wtg, Ed!!!
Nowadays if you got a $500,000 question like that you can be certain that the obvious answer is the incorrect one. Justin Peter's $500,000 questionis the ultimate proof of that. The producers purposely chose a question that 81% of the audience thought the wrong answer to in the UK about the House of Commons and used it knowing that no one who didn't see that incident in the UK would know that Alcohol is allowed there only when announcing the budget.
+bencalebrod That question was also on the British version, but only valued at $20,000. Then again, it would be easier for them than for us, like how some of their $1,000,000 questions have dealt with American history and American culture.
A single question alone is not difficult when you know the answer. The difficulty is in knowing ALL 15 answers, each in different subjects. You may be an engineer who excels at math and science but flounders at TV/Film history.
RIP Ed. What a great TV moment, and what a friendly trivia man he was.

That was really great logical reasoning when he wasn't sure: "I don't think it was antiseptic because it seems like they would have alcohol in bottles to swab on."
soxnation1000 sure and also in the bad question at 16.000 he thought that was the tomate because potato and carrots are under the groud

Funny how normal WWTBAM had two winners near 2m each and Super Millionaire only had the one 1m winner.

He really is still the last person to win more than a million on this show to this day as he said. R.I.P. Ed.
You gotta love that *”GOT IT!!”* from Regis.
RIP Ed Toutant
Guys, the rumors are true, I'm afraid. Ed Toutant died last November 2018 after suffering from brain cancer. He was 66.
500k seemed easy. Only "notation" I was familiar with out of the 4 was math notations. If science was an option, might have been a little more trickier for some ppl.
I remembered it because of bank notary. Money equals numbers and that’s how I remember that one lol.
I thought it was mathematics as well, because we did scientific notation in math class.
They probably threw him a bone for that mistake last time he was there
@monahanpt

Wouldn't it be awful if the Supreme Court ruled that a tomato is a fruit, and as a result, Ed lost everything but $1000?
Well, I'll tell u the facts. After complaints about that awkward question, someone said to bring this guy, and win 1.8 million dollars plus by went to the the stack of questions
No, I checked and it aired in September.
What a nasty final question. How does anyone know it for sure?
He worked it out logically correctly though. Exactly how do you think the show would work if the million dollar questions were easy?
I think it would've been harder if the 50/50 had left shaving cream as one of the choices.
Well, it didn't happened.
I was thinking insecticide because of mosquitoes and malaria from that. Antiseptic would also make sense because of having to be in a trench(dirty feet and all that)

I knew he was going to win because I looked this up on the Internet (Wikipedia) but I still clapped when he won! :-)
question.. has gsn re-run this episode??
Ed would later return as a plus one on the Chris Harrison version before his passing in 2018
A very impressive run!
There wasn't a winner for a long time so ABC did a thing where for every person who didn't win the million, the jackpot went up 10,000. So there were 86 people in a row without a winner before him.
In my opinion, that's the hardest million dollar question out of all the winners.
