Wow, I could've gotten that million on a guess; I've never watched Laugh-In but Nixon was my first impulse.
I loved the reaction on Regis' face when Jon Carpenter said that he didn't need his help... priceless
Why can't the interent make massive movies about the water flow surge protection instead of some stupid prairie dog? The millionaire winner was priceless with his phone call to his father.
IIRC he's the only person who got the million without using a lifeline. They didn't count this as he didn't actually need help.
