Yes, the Mega-Millionaire era. I liked that. Too bad they discontinued it after Kevin broke the jackpot. Ah, well. That's show biz. I still enjoy the show very much. [/quote]
Right, but Ed Toutant returned on September 7, 2001, because of that flaw on the $16,000 question from January 31, 2001. They gave him a NEW $16,000 question to start his RETURN show, and it was only up from there!
Afer Kevin's win, Bernie Cullen won the Flat-out million.
