Oh, thank you so much! This was the only game show to ever truly put me at the edge of my seat. People looked really cool around the turn of the century too. I think it's because it was one of the few game shows where formal dress was expected, and 90s hairstyles were ace! There was always one or two people in every group that I instantly bonded with emotionally!
Know a lot of people were more into Regis Philbin (Millionaire) and Anne Robinson (Weakest Link), but enjoyed this Fox/Dick Clark attempt, and host Chuck Woolery's steadfast delivery. Even with Woolery almost out of sight currently for his support of Trump, the man knew and still knows how to host. I wish Fox had managed better luck with this. Thanks for the peek into the vault, Wink!
The music and design is good, my issue is the questions here are kind of dull pop culture factoids compared to WWTBAM, and just like with the Weakest link and The chase, putting you on teams with strangers just screws goid contestants over often to the show's benefit. I feel like WWTBAM had more contestants that believed in their own knowledge who wouldn't have put up with the team of strangers stuff and that's why I think WWTBAM had better smarter personalities. Greed has more typical TV personalities, WWTBAM had actual bright minds, even if it had more of the fake tension of DOND compared to something purer and drier in presentation for trivia like Jeopardy.
2 full episodes of Greed on UA-cam in not even a whole week (someone posted the episode from 7 April 2000 the Saturday night before this)! Thank you very much, Wink Martindale! Not a bad way to celebrate Greed's 20th anniversary! I didn't see this post on 4 November 2019 but the day after. I only say that because i was wondering if anything would be done in commemoration of Greed's 20th anniversary. Happy belated Greed day, to all our Greed fans!
Greed beats Who Wants to be a Millionaire by thousands -- if not millions -- of miles. Greed is more intense and cutthroat than WWTBAM. The only reason Greed didn't last anywhere as long is because a president at Fox who didn't like game shows had it canned.
Not everyone wants "cutthroat" game shows. This show puts you with random strangers who can screw you over. You might find that more entertaining but many of us like seeing people showing what they can deduce and winning big on millionaire without being screwed over by some random they were teamed up with. The questions here were also duller, pop culture factoids instead of the breadth of WWTBAM. Which show would you rather GO on, this or Regis WWTBAM? If the latter but you enjoy the former, you don't care about the contestants or their actual skill and what the money means to them, just whatever might happen to them with no consolation prizes and just HIGH STAKES CUTTHROAT INTENSITY. Some of us prefer the fairness of WWTBAM. I liked seeing meek people win big and if they're stumped they get to win 16k or so instead of nothing because of some stupid idiot the show paired them with. I didn't like The Weakest Link for the same reason. You can have your own tastes, but I'm annoyed at the constant idea from Greed fans that the WWTBAM audience "would just dump that boring show if they knew Greed was on". We liked the fairness of Millionaire. We didn't WANT "cutthroat" bullshit.
I'm not going to lie...I watched Greed just as religiously as I did Millionaire back then. This was just as tense. I also forgot how cutthroat the Terminator was.
Can’t believe Brooks was thrown off by that $500K Question about the Most Popular Pizza Toppings. It’s not how much the product weighs, it’s how many pounds that ingredient is sold annually. 🤦♂️

Really? I heard GSN when it was airing Greed had been skipping Part 1 of That 70's Greed because it's only a half-hour long unlike the 43 other episodes... which is a lame reason to not air an episode if you ask me. It was bothering me enough that Pt. 1 couldn't be a 40-something-minute episode like the rest of the episode but i have a brief clip of That 70's Greed (a Barry Manilow question) uploaded on my channel that was an airing from GSN (the 2004-2008 era).
Greed was the best Rip-off of all time. I mean that in the most affectionate way because Millionaire was just so influential. This game is just so brilliant though. I’m sure it could stand alone right now.

@@ericzubyk2329 I don't remember seeing it back in the 2000s when Greed was airing on TV but i only remember seeing a very brief clip of it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/wzMuXrEmmX4/v-deo.html
@@markheying2830 Yes. Don't remember that the captain was Mary, but I remember Madeleine was lucky that the Terminator landed on her both times during her team's run and won both her terminator matches. I just remember that she took over as captain after her second Terminator win and won her team $500k.
13:36 - WHAT! WHAT! WHAT! I thought it was Ground beef for sure. It was Mushrooms over Ground Beef. I guess the thing of it is they said servings are most popular based on pounds sold so it's not necessarily that it weighs so little, it's just that people get so much. I'm so sorry.
I believe the $500K Question: Travel; that was used in a later episode of Greed, I think the Second Chance Episode, where in involved either the Most Traveled Countries in 1999, or the Most Traveled US Cities in 1999.
Watching this makes me sad. Today's game shows are terrible. Actually, nearly every industry has been ruined. Japan anime and sports are the only things left that are trying at this point.
You can thank that anti-game shows Fox CEO that took over the network the summer of 2000 when Greed was airing its final batch of episodes. She didn't like game shows for some reason and wanted them off the network. A lot of people seem to think that Gordon Elliott show that aired in June for only 5 episodes also played a role in Greed's mid-summer downfall, but I liked that show too
Christopher, you're in the first position. Congratulations! Who is our next player? Michael, right over there in the second position. We're down to three. Let's find out who is next? Oh, we got a tie with 500 between Robert and Bell. So who got it first? You did, Robert - you'll be in the third position and Bell, you're in the fourth position.
when i read the question i knew all the answers when i order from domino's i order pepperoni and ham & Canadian bacon on my pizza i've tried mushrooms and italian sausage not a big of those but i knew they were 2 of the answers
For people that don't know about the episode before this one, Howie was not the captain to start the game and his answer to the $200,000 question was butter pecan. Also strawberry was guessed second after old fashioned maple. And also the episode after this one that last team on this doesn't even go for $200,000 and also there was only one Terminator round in the episode after this one because there were 2 teams after this last one that failed to get $100,000 then the 3rd team made the $200,000 level but failed to get it right then was the team before the do over of the .com team who made it to the $100,000 level only to flop on SNL regulars in the $200,000 question which was 2 episodes after this one.
On the episode before this one, that team's original captain was Bryan Pena, whose first appearance was in the 2-hour premiere, during which he was eliminated from Sandy Dicey's team after finishing last on the Qualifying Question round. In the episode that follows, Carra cowardly bailed after $100,000 to the rest of her team's dismay but i guess that's better than losing at the Terminator as the person being challenged since everybody took home $20k a piece, a little less in taxes. Later in that episode, you're right only one team in that episode made it to $200,000 but you're kind of right that they lost. That team's captain actually took a $20,000 bribe on that question about dog breeds which ended up being a good decision as it was wrong and they would've gone home with empty pockets if he didn't take the $20k. The ".com" team ended up winning a Terminator-less $200k and before that the team with Joe Price went belly-up with 2-answer miss on that SNL regulars question.
@@hiltonlive32grnrngr of course I was right on that one team in the following episode, and the 2 belly ups were as some people know Michael Richards (dumb move on the captain's part) and John Candy and the .com team's 200K question had to do with types of Apples. Five of the six options were Cortland, Baldwin, Rutgers, Newtown Pippin, and Fuji. Someone tell me what the other wrong answer was.
Also worth adding: in the following episode, Carra stopped her team at the $100,000 mark despite them wanting to go on. I remember the guys weren't very happy about it.
@@tonyhughes110 So sorry that you guys lost. Your two episodes that you were on were still relatively close to the beginning of the show's run. That said, have you ever had a chance to watch the show on TV before getting on? Also if you can remember that far back, since your two episodes aired over two weeks apart, were they taped two different days too? Or was it all done in one taping but they just had y'all change clothes mid-way through? Did you still keep watching the show after your episodes and did you try getting on other game shows after Greed?
@John Lee "You guys?" You know it was Brooks' own answer of Ground Beef that costs his team the $500k, right? You know, I agree with Robby Osborne when he said in a separate comment that it was a pretty easy question for one that was worth $500k. Even before the Freebie, green pepper, ground beef, and onions didn't feel right. Also, I think Brooks misunderstood the question: the question was asking for most popular toppings based on pounds sold as in how many people order a pizza with that particular topping, not based on which food/topping item weighs more than the other
To be honest, that $500,000 question about the Domino's Pizza Toppings was pretty easy. Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, and Ham/Canadian Bacon were the most obvious popular toppings, along with Mushrooms. I just knew that Ground Beef couldn't be one of the most popular toppings.
@@gameshowguy2000 That's the thing, it *was* by pounds sold, not by which weighs more than the other. I think Brooks misunderstood the question, which led to him costing his whole team the $500k
@@nicka727 They eliminated the QQ for the Losers episode which aired on February 29. Episodes after that had the Qualifying Question except for the 5 Super Greed episodes as well as the last 5 episodes of the show
I sure *SHERYL actually was. You can tell how upset she was after he beat her in the Terminator as well. I like to think she suffered from what some like to call Jackie syndrome. Watch the Curtis vs. Jackie terminator from the 11/11/1999 episode if you haven't already and you'll see what I mean.
Some of them had to do with movies as well. I mean on the same episode as the .com question, there was a different team that won $500,000 on a question about Robert DeNiro films.
@@ericzubyk2329 That was Madeleine Ali's team that immediately followed the ".com" team's first $100K question Also, i recall there being $200,000 questions about which four movies had the most sequels and another about which four movies were the first released. Don't even ask me what episodes they were from because i can't for the life of me remember, but the January 14 episode had a $100K question about which movie was not a Woody Allen film and a $75K question about which movie is not about baseball
Brooks, you forgot to change Ground Beef to Mushrooms before you could take the $50,000! I'm more into Papa John's besides Domino's. I think you should still try CAMOUFLAGE or That's The Question with WM Channel.
I hope they fired the wardrobe department after this episode, especially whoever was responsible for putting Chuck in that ill-fitting suit! I can’t believe Dick Clark let taping start-he was such a perfectionist, and that suit is a dumpster fire.
Really? I think Chuck looked worse in that suit he wore in the November 18 episode that began with Dan Avila's $2.2 million fail. The brown suit and tie with the blue shirt under it made it hard for me to even WANT to watch that episode, it didn't look right on him. Whosever idea it was to put Chuck in that should be fired then shot because he looked horrible in that!
Actually the only bad move i see is at 28:03. Chris probably knew the answer but Jason beat him on the buzzer because Chris' hand wasn't even on his. Jason's hand was on his. If you're going to do the Terminator and want at least a good shot at beating your opponent to the buzzer as common sense, it's probably a good idea to have your hand on it and be ready to ring in as Chuck is asking the question.
That's why they're offered secured money. Otherwise they'd think "even if i win the duel, with 1 less on the team, there's a bigger risk on losing on a later question and then i'll have won the duel for nothing, so i better not challenge anyone".
It has been 20 years since Greed with host Chuck Woolery debuted on Fox, and this game show only lasted 44 episodes and was later rerun on Game Show Network in 2002, as we sure remember Daniel Avila who went on Greed twice and lost $3.2 million. And we miss it terribly, as it sure had quite a run.
You can thank that anti-game-show Fox CEO who got the president's chair over the summer of 2000 at the time Greed was airing its last few episode. Had not been for her, Greed would've most likely gone past July and even gotten another season or so
So? It was his decision to not continue. Besides they probably would've lost and gone home with nothing like Brooks' team did Edit- and they had a Freebie at $500k so go figure
@@hiltonlive32grnrngr Brooks got a really difficult question. I was with him, I would've said ground beef over mushrooms. I don't think the $500,000 questions are normally that hard. Brooks got unlucky.
@@ramibaghdadi1255I concur. I would go further to add that even after being told what the category is you never know if the question is going to be easy or a hard one as there are teams who lost on $500k WITH the freebie so in some cases quitting the game with $200k even if you still have a freebie is not a bad idea
I think it was pre-recorded. Teams who had to reintroduce themselves due to having to continue their run in the following episodes, the way Mark Thompson said the contestants names sound the same, particular in the Super Greed episode with Phyllis' team. Also note how in the 2-hour premiere when the announcer called Michael Michelle in error and when Michael corrected him, the announcer didn't respond. I would think if it was live, he would've apologized and corrected himself. So yeah, I think it was all pre-recorded.
Brooks took a gamble and lost the $500,000 because of Ground Beef being the wrong answer. He's going to regret it for picking Ground Beef over Mushrooms. It was Mushrooms over Ground Beef.
the $500,000 question about pizza topping most popular based on pounds sold i got 3 out of the 4 right my answers were pepperoni ham/can.bacon mushrooms and green pepper i did not thing italian sausage was one of them i knew it wasn't ground beef and onions when they used the freebie and the they took away green pepper i was shocked they should've took away the ground beef answer like who puts ground beef on pizza no offense just sayin
Chuck Woolery was a better pick. But i guess that's only because he ended up getting the gig. If Donahue got it, I probably would think he was better than Woolery. Go figure.
He never came back. I felt bad for him though for being the only contestant in the show's whole run to be sent back to the Contestant Pool twice after losing the Qualifying Question. If Greed ever comes back, i would bring back Marco Mello.

@@ericzubyk2329 I don't remember seeing it back in the 2000s when Greed was airing on TV but i only remember seeing a very brief clip of it in this video: ua-cam.com/video/wzMuXrEmmX4/v-deo.html
If I remember, Madeleine became Captain by terminating Mary.
@@markheying2830 Yes. Don't remember that the captain was Mary, but I remember Madeleine was lucky that the Terminator landed on her both times during her team's run and won both her terminator matches. I just remember that she took over as captain after her second Terminator win and won her team $500k.
Phil Donahue was originally supposed to host Greed
13:36 - WHAT! WHAT! WHAT! I thought it was Ground beef for sure. It was Mushrooms over Ground Beef. I guess the thing of it is they said servings are most popular based on pounds sold so it's not necessarily that it weighs so little, it's just that people get so much. I'm so sorry.
Every time a team misses a question, they could lose everything.
They DO lose everything and everyone knows this. God, you're so freakin' annoying.
I believe the $500K Question: Travel; that was used in a later episode of Greed, I think the Second Chance Episode, where in involved either the Most Traveled Countries in 1999, or the Most Traveled US Cities in 1999.
please post more Greed the series...
10:07 Gretchen almost slips haha..
She did win $10K
Watching this makes me sad. Today's game shows are terrible.
Actually, nearly every industry has been ruined. Japan anime and sports are the only things left that are trying at this point.
Well said.
That's correct.
16:30 Cris Molles was a contestant on Jeopardy! in summer 1997
It’s actually Chris Molles, and he’s a finance manager from Lamita, California.
His name is Cris.
This game show needs to make a comeback
I've always understood .com to stand for commercial not company. Different time I guess it was twenty years ago.
You can see the mic on Mitch's back during the challenge.
It's not like they try to hide the mics on the contestants, it's there so the contestants can be heard while on stage
Greed was a fantastic game show that unfortunately didn't long life 😈🎉👏💚
You can thank that anti-game shows Fox CEO that took over the network the summer of 2000 when Greed was airing its final batch of episodes. She didn't like game shows for some reason and wanted them off the network. A lot of people seem to think that Gordon Elliott show that aired in June for only 5 episodes also played a role in Greed's mid-summer downfall, but I liked that show too
You mean didn’t last long?
This was a good show on Friday nights
Christopher, you're in the first position. Congratulations! Who is our next player?
Michael, right over there in the second position. We're down to three. Let's find out who is next? Oh, we got a tie with 500 between Robert and Bell. So who got it first? You did, Robert - you'll be in the third position and Bell, you're in the fourth position.
Ground beef is not one of the main pizza topping ingredients, mostly.
Exactly. I don't know what Brooks was thinking.
I'm surprised that ground beef is even a pizza topping.
Ground Beef is no longer a Pizza Topping.
when i read the question i knew all the answers when i order from domino's i order pepperoni and ham & Canadian bacon on my pizza i've tried mushrooms and italian sausage not a big of those but i knew they were 2 of the answers
@@ericzubyk2329 for a meat lovers pizza, there would be ground beef.
Cheryl looks flabbergasted 😂😂
Play it like it "Lays?" I thought it was a Pizza question not a Potato Chip question.
Kris was one of my personal favorite captains.
I agree, Cris was awesome.
at 10:09 Gretchen trips as she doesn't realize there's a step down
For people that don't know about the episode before this one, Howie was not the captain to start the game and his answer to the $200,000 question was butter pecan. Also strawberry was guessed second after old fashioned maple. And also the episode after this one that last team on this doesn't even go for $200,000 and also there was only one Terminator round in the episode after this one because there were 2 teams after this last one that failed to get $100,000 then the 3rd team made the $200,000 level but failed to get it right then was the team before the do over of the .com team who made it to the $100,000 level only to flop on SNL regulars in the $200,000 question which was 2 episodes after this one.
On the episode before this one, that team's original captain was Bryan Pena, whose first appearance was in the 2-hour premiere, during which he was eliminated from Sandy Dicey's team after finishing last on the Qualifying Question round. In the episode that follows, Carra cowardly bailed after $100,000 to the rest of her team's dismay but i guess that's better than losing at the Terminator as the person being challenged since everybody took home $20k a piece, a little less in taxes. Later in that episode, you're right only one team in that episode made it to $200,000 but you're kind of right that they lost. That team's captain actually took a $20,000 bribe on that question about dog breeds which ended up being a good decision as it was wrong and they would've gone home with empty pockets if he didn't take the $20k. The ".com" team ended up winning a Terminator-less $200k and before that the team with Joe Price went belly-up with 2-answer miss on that SNL regulars question.
@@hiltonlive32grnrngr of course I was right on that one team in the following episode, and the 2 belly ups were as some people know Michael Richards (dumb move on the captain's part) and John Candy and the .com team's 200K question had to do with types of Apples. Five of the six options were Cortland, Baldwin, Rutgers, Newtown Pippin, and Fuji. Someone tell me what the other wrong answer was.
Also worth adding: in the following episode, Carra stopped her team at the $100,000 mark despite them wanting to go on. I remember the guys weren't very happy about it.
14:11 Congratulations to you, Mitch. Thanks for the try, Brooks. Thanks for the try, Tony.
Still haunts me to this day, ha.
@@tonyhughes110 So sorry that you guys lost.
Your two episodes that you were on were still relatively close to the beginning of the show's run. That said, have you ever had a chance to watch the show on TV before getting on?
Also if you can remember that far back, since your two episodes aired over two weeks apart, were they taped two different days too? Or was it all done in one taping but they just had y'all change clothes mid-way through?
Did you still keep watching the show after your episodes and did you try getting on other game shows after Greed?
Sorry, Tony.
Sounds like a bingo craze? Hmmmmm? Then it will have to be changed to Bango! Not Bingo! Good classics Wink (& Chuck)!
13:35
Ground beef? Really? A popular pizza topping? How often do you guys eat pizza?!
Tony @ 13:26 even knew that it was Mushrooms.
Meat Lover's/Cheeseburger pizza.
But Chuck is right. A pound of mushrooms weighs the same as a pound of ground beef, it just takes more space
@@donaldpaluga I believe Sausage/Mushroom Pizzas are more popular than Meat lovers and Cheeseburger Pizzas.
@John Lee "You guys?" You know it was Brooks' own answer of Ground Beef that costs his team the $500k, right? You know, I agree with Robby Osborne when he said in a separate comment that it was a pretty easy question for one that was worth $500k. Even before the Freebie, green pepper, ground beef, and onions didn't feel right. Also, I think Brooks misunderstood the question: the question was asking for most popular toppings based on pounds sold as in how many people order a pizza with that particular topping, not based on which food/topping item weighs more than the other
@@hiltonlive32grnrngr I thought it was based on popularity.
To be honest, that $500,000 question about the Domino's Pizza Toppings was pretty easy.
Pepperoni, Italian Sausage, and Ham/Canadian Bacon were the most obvious popular toppings, along with Mushrooms.
I just knew that Ground Beef couldn't be one of the most popular toppings.
I agree. Even if it was by pounds sold, it still couldn't be a popular topping.
@@gameshowguy2000 Exactly. I mean, a lot of people like Sausage and Mushroom Pizzas.
@@gameshowguy2000 That's the thing, it *was* by pounds sold, not by which weighs more than the other. I think Brooks misunderstood the question, which led to him costing his whole team the $500k
Pounds being sold.
By the way onions would've been a closer guess than ground beef if they were to get anything wrong.
Airdate: January 5, 2000
The slate said February 26, 2000 (which was the edit date).
@@johnnyballenatl But this episode's original airdate WAS on January 5. I don't know what that February 26, 2000 date was about.
They eliminated the qualifying question then.
@@nicka727 They eliminated the QQ for the Losers episode which aired on February 29. Episodes after that had the Qualifying Question except for the 5 Super Greed episodes as well as the last 5 episodes of the show
28:12 Good sportsmanship
Absolutely
brooks look like the meme guy
In my dreams; Tom Kennedy was the host in this show.
Cheryl looked like she felt blindsided by Mitch when he chose to challenge her in the Terminator showdown.
I sure *SHERYL actually was. You can tell how upset she was after he beat her in the Terminator as well. I like to think she suffered from what some like to call Jackie syndrome. Watch the Curtis vs. Jackie terminator from the 11/11/1999 episode if you haven't already and you'll see what I mean.
Is it me or do a TON of the questions on Greed have to do with food?
Some of them had to do with movies as well. I mean on the same episode as the .com question, there was a different team that won $500,000 on a question about Robert DeNiro films.
@@ericzubyk2329 That was Madeleine Ali's team that immediately followed the ".com" team's first $100K question
Also, i recall there being $200,000 questions about which four movies had the most sequels and another about which four movies were the first released. Don't even ask me what episodes they were from because i can't for the life of me remember, but the January 14 episode had a $100K question about which movie was not a Woody Allen film and a $75K question about which movie is not about baseball
Brooks, you forgot to change Ground Beef to Mushrooms before you could take the $50,000! I'm more into Papa John's besides Domino's. I think you should still try CAMOUFLAGE or That's The Question with WM Channel.
I hope they fired the wardrobe department after this episode, especially whoever was responsible for putting Chuck in that ill-fitting suit! I can’t believe Dick Clark let taping start-he was such a perfectionist, and that suit is a dumpster fire.
Really? I think Chuck looked worse in that suit he wore in the November 18 episode that began with Dan Avila's $2.2 million fail. The brown suit and tie with the blue shirt under it made it hard for me to even WANT to watch that episode, it didn't look right on him. Whosever idea it was to put Chuck in that should be fired then shot because he looked horrible in that!
Brooks would regret it for picking Ground Beef over Mushrooms.
The terminator is such a bad move. You might be eliminatinģ the one person who has the correct answer.
Actually the only bad move i see is at 28:03. Chris probably knew the answer but Jason beat him on the buzzer because Chris' hand wasn't even on his. Jason's hand was on his. If you're going to do the Terminator and want at least a good shot at beating your opponent to the buzzer as common sense, it's probably a good idea to have your hand on it and be ready to ring in as Chuck is asking the question.
That's why they're offered secured money. Otherwise they'd think "even if i win the duel, with 1 less on the team, there's a bigger risk on losing on a later question and then i'll have won the duel for nothing, so i better not challenge anyone".
It has been 20 years since Greed with host Chuck Woolery debuted on Fox, and this game show only lasted 44 episodes and was later rerun on Game Show Network in 2002, as we sure remember Daniel Avila who went on Greed twice and lost $3.2 million. And we miss it terribly, as it sure had quite a run.
You can thank that anti-game-show Fox CEO who got the president's chair over the summer of 2000 at the time Greed was airing its last few episode. Had not been for her, Greed would've most likely gone past July and even gotten another season or so
Did Greed have a real time announcer? Or was that all prerecorded?
I think it was pre-recorded
Cris the team leader should've gone another round, they still had a freebie.
So? It was his decision to not continue. Besides they probably would've lost and gone home with nothing like Brooks' team did
Edit- and they had a Freebie at $500k so go figure
@@hiltonlive32grnrngr Cris is smart. He knew the hurricane question. I bet they could've got the $500,000 question.
@@hiltonlive32grnrngr Brooks got a really difficult question. I was with him, I would've said ground beef over mushrooms. I don't think the $500,000 questions are normally that hard. Brooks got unlucky.
Easy to say just watching but it's different when you're dealing with real money.
@@ramibaghdadi1255I concur. I would go further to add that even after being told what the category is you never know if the question is going to be easy or a hard one as there are teams who lost on $500k WITH the freebie so in some cases quitting the game with $200k even if you still have a freebie is not a bad idea
13:37 Boo hiss!
Did Greed have a real time announcer? Or was this guy just a pre recorded voice?
I think it was pre-recorded. Teams who had to reintroduce themselves due to having to continue their run in the following episodes, the way Mark Thompson said the contestants names sound the same, particular in the Super Greed episode with Phyllis' team. Also note how in the 2-hour premiere when the announcer called Michael Michelle in error and when Michael corrected him, the announcer didn't respond. I would think if it was live, he would've apologized and corrected himself. So yeah, I think it was all pre-recorded.
if i were mitch i would of called out brooks
He would be captain!
Brooks took a gamble and lost the $500,000 because of Ground Beef being the wrong answer. He's going to regret it for picking Ground Beef over Mushrooms. It was Mushrooms over Ground Beef.
Dummy captain. I knew it was Mushrooms.
Same here.
So did I
Best and underrated game show ever please upload more
Madonna Riviera 😂
Marco was just snakebit lmao
the $500,000 question about pizza topping most popular based on pounds sold i got 3 out of the 4 right my answers were pepperoni ham/can.bacon mushrooms and green pepper i did not thing italian sausage was one of them i knew it wasn't ground beef and onions when they used the freebie and the they took away green pepper i was shocked they should've took away the ground beef answer like who puts ground beef on pizza no offense just sayin
At the start of around 36:18 was a blooper.
Don't tell me that it was that company/commercial mess that I remember.
@@BlackwoodCompany It was later than that.
Well, it looks like Marco was not his lucky day.
13:36 *wrong answer*
Yep I knew it wasn’t ground beef I knew all the answers that pizza question was so easy
@@tylerwilliamson7128 Same here.
Really, Brooks? Mushrooms are better, Doofus. So much for not eating Dominoes 🍕 often.
@@andrewbeaudoin7363 I think he misunderstood the question, which resulted in them getting it wrong.

Phil Donahue was supposed to host Greed
Chuck Woolery was a better pick. But i guess that's only because he ended up getting the gig. If Donahue got it, I probably would think he was better than Woolery. Go figure.
