Who Wants to Be a Millionaire | ABC | Pending Renewal

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire is an American game show adaptation from the same-titled British program, which was developed by Michael Davies for the United States. It features a contestant attempting to win a prize of $1 million by answering a series of multiple-choice questions that increase in difficulty after answering the previous question correctly. The program is one of the most successful and longest-running international variants of the franchise game show—credit to the producers.

The show has had several gameplay and format changes over its runtime. Since its debut, there were twelve contestants who answered all the questions correctly, eventually winning the grand prize of a million dollars. The program made television history by becoming one of the highest-rated game shows in US television history, as well as the first US network game show to offer a prize of $1 million.
