Michael Larson is a game show legend. I was not around when this first aired but when I saw a rerun in the 90s, it was one of the best moments I have ever seen on a game show. Like you could feel the adrenaline and intensity between every spin that he took
He is simply one of the best. Man didn’t cheat, he simply heavily overanalyzed the game he loved to watch. You can’t beat what he did, even if you beat it in monetary value
the family that won Family Feud’s Big Money Tournament is from my hometown of Gainesville, FL congratulations Hutchinsons you’ve made Gainesville proud
25 seconds up the pyramid has to be record. or clsoe to it and i love the celebrities reaction. as i recall he was one of the bettr players nad helped take pyramid for alot of money (well helping contestants do so lol). i don't know if he's genuinely happy for the contestant, not embarrassing himself (cause it's so easy to make a silly mistake), knowing they did it so fast, or all the above but i love the genuiness of it.
12:29 Besides the 100k win here, this ties Florence Henderson as the second fastest win on Pyramid. Billy Crystal still holds the record with 34 seconds on the clock.
With James on his total with Jeopardy the 1st one has very special meaning as that total is the numbers that make up is daughters birthday hence the happy birthday comment. he did say that was his goal was to win that amount in single day.
It's unfortunate that Michael Larson never got to enjoy his winnings. Half of it was stolen in a burglary almost immediately, and he lost the rest falling to illegal scam artists. He had to flee the state with what little he had left to avoid jail time, then died from throat cancer shortly thereafter, just 15 years after the episode.
james: i am so sorry for your grandma's passing. i send my sympathies and condolances to you and your family. by the way, my name is robert. god bless you.
I was watching when it could've happened a season ago. I remember moving my tray table out of the way to not knock it over jumping up to cheer for him...then he hit the whammy on the penultimate spin, and I fell back and almost cried. I couldn't even finish the episode.
@@robertlunderwoodHis stamina was already starting to break, the whammy would have eventually come. Landing outside the pattern on a trip towards the end was a wake up call.

and mother of larry hagman. and quite the legend even if larry wasn't related to her.... watching these i don't know how many i'd get right. i'd of blown the helicopter one i was thinking the german guy but then realized as soon as he said sikorski he was right.
Well, you know that Elizabeth was personally invested in giving away $1 million, and knew that Ryan was oh so close to that, and she thought that Teslas were approximately $95,000 each.
With the Elizabeth's press your luck I call bs he should have won that million with those tesla so in that sense I call BS even Elizabeth was kinda like bull shit
I argue that it should. This guy took advantage of a flaw on the big board (in which the board wasn’t really random, but rather it uses six different patterns to make it look random, and he memorized all six of those patterns) to win over $100,000 on that show.
Michael on “Press Your Luck” CHEATED by watching the show over & over again for months to learn the patterns the machine took & memorized each pattern & knew exactly when to press the STOP button to land on the big money
So, studying a game show and exploiting a design flaw of said show is considered cheating? That means that Ken Jennings "cheated" during his original run, right? 'Coz he studied the game show for a couple of months before appearing, so he "cheated", right?

@@JaceD4V1S88 Michael Larsson did his homework
The suspense James Holzhauer gave those contestants on the chase was insane what an ending.
These make me cry... So many emotions!!
These moments never get old, especially the Things That Sag clue that's just funny as hell 😂
2:55 was amazing. Started freaking out the moment he read the question.
the family that won Family Feud’s Big Money Tournament is from my hometown of Gainesville, FL
congratulations Hutchinsons
you’ve made Gainesville proud
We just gonna ignore the fact he said "An old woman's breasts" for Things That Sag and got it immediately
Never
Getting miffed about it doesn’t change the fact that gravity is a thing
I mean, is he wrong though?
😂😂😂😂
In just 27 seconds to boot!
Aaron the Crystal Clod, your Greatest Game Show Moments is a success!
13:43 - This was on the week that WoF premiered on CBC. Fitting that the theme week was Canada!
THESE GREATEST GAME SHOW WINS ARE BEYOND AWESOME!!
Classy way to close this out! Woulda loved to have seen Cynthia from TPIR on Clock Game who scored the mil...Maybe the next one!
Here's an idea for a future episode: "Let's Celebrate!" Game show clips of contestants going crazy after winning the game or bonus round.

It’s so fitting that Ken Jennings is hosting Jeopardy now.
He could easily go down as the smartest person in Television History.
Eh
He is
Not my high school self screaming “Filet o Fish” at the TV lol
12:29
Besides the 100k win here, this ties Florence Henderson as the second fastest win on Pyramid.
Billy Crystal still holds the record with 34 seconds on the clock.
This was awesome! Please make a Part 2 😊
Rest In Peace Alex Trebek
2:16 - the DSW that broke the franchise record long held by the Australian TPIR
The second millionaire on Wheel of Fortune is my all time favorite game show moment even if I didn’t see it happen
4:35 BRO HOW DID THEY FALL BALLONS INSTEAD OF CONFETTI
it's family feud, confetti barely shows up
There’s that 112,230 episode that also had confetti (Louis Anderson was host at that time) and that 50K win
3:24 Congratulations Kevin Olmstead for winning $2,180,000 on Who Wants To Be A Millionaire!!!🎉🎉🎉

Great video clips, including the "original " beast. Cool 😊
10:30 Are we going to ignore the fact that Elizabeth Banks was shocked into silence?
Probably she cursed it out on tv
Good Ol James Holzhouer
Ryan still has the HIGHEST bonus game total without anyone getting it to $500,000 ($1 million) still by today!
13:51 AKA a version of the Jeopardy! Think music.

11:26 Not the first time a Tesla has let someone down and won't be the last.
John Goss (Sale of the Century) over $138,000 isn't up here. Price is Right (Carey) Clock Game million dollar win isn't here,either...
I've seen a lot of Family Feud, where did that $160,000 clip come from?
From the most recent Family Feud Big Money Tournament… in 2013. I really wish they do another one.
11:29 And no one has gotten that close since.
I was watching when it could've happened a season ago. I remember moving my tray table out of the way to not knock it over jumping up to cheer for him...then he hit the whammy on the penultimate spin, and I fell back and almost cried. I couldn't even finish the episode.
5:32 And the correct answer is…
14:07 16:02 And the winner of $1 million is...
It's gotta be Greed when Curtis Warren won a million to this day i remember it.
this is pretty hype.
12:05
$483,480? Holy crow, that's nearly 5x what Mike Larsen won when he cracked the pattern!
If Ryan had one spin left after that spin, then the million dollars would most likely would have been his.
@@LosAngelesElevatorswow I don't believe that
Larson stopped because he wanted to. He could've spun forever.
@@robertlunderwoodHis stamina was already starting to break, the whammy would have eventually come. Landing outside the pattern on a trip towards the end was a wake up call.

What about Tomorrow Rodriguez’s automatic "Deal or No Deal" win?
What about Matt Amodio and Amy Schneider’s winning streaks on Jeopardy?
I was hoping Ryan was going to win the million but the two whammies in his 4th round came out at the wrong time.
If they were going to do another greatest of all time on jeopardy, would ken Jennings host or participate, and if the latter, who's hosting
Thom McKee...the Ken Jennings of Tic Tac Dough.
My parents and I watched him religiously.
Anybody else think that Peter Pan question was low hanging fruit?
What was that film clip at the end? It looked like some 80s film with Jennifer Connelly that I can't quite think of…
That's my old end screen using scenes from the movie Career Opportunities.

Ah Michel Larson the guy that legally "cheated" I put air quotes cuz he figured it out and I give him respect
MICHELLE ought to have won 100 more dollars for EVERY TIME she sqealed out OH MY GOD!! She would be the RICHEST WOMAN IN THE UNIVERSE!!!
And there’s The Wall, where 2 brothers won $1.5million.
A $100,000 board, one second long of Crystal's record.
There's just no bonus round that compares to The Winner's Circle on Pyramid.
I get chills watching them.

5:45 Nowadays: … meh.
Miss you so much Alex Trebek
Also to Regis Philbin and Peter Tomarkin.
@@CarlFranks-tx1dh And Bob Barker. Yes, I know he's not featured in this video, but there was a TPIR clip, albeit with Drew Carey.
4:33 but isnt the prize $20000? 6:00 cheating doesn't count.
For 4:33, this was likely a tournament of champions. And as for 6:00 there was no cheating involved, nor any evidence thereof, so the win stands.
I don't know about you, but I feel stupid.
I made a successful intuition guess of Sikorsky for the WWTBAM 2.5 million question, feeling warmed up this morning.
Do they really get all the money....wow! Like does it get taxed or do they get it in installments? Wow....will that ever happen to me.

Where is John Carpenter?
This is the biggest win on every show - he doesn't hold the US millionaire record, Kevin Olmstead does
The greatest win is Charles Ingram winning a million pounds, nothing compares to that.
cough cough
The guy at the end looks worried because she won’t a million dollars lol, she probably left him lol
