Well that explains it.  He didn't win crap.  :)  I AM SO HAPPY.  He lost.  I don't mean to be gleeful, but being lucky enough to get picked for JEP! THEN getting the call for Millionaire...well..that's enough good luck for one person..I'm sorry!  :)

Before I "officially" sign off on this topic, I just want to thank all those who made this topic a very intresting one.  

My final comment:  Sure he left J! with only a $2,000 consolation prize which is very easy to surrender given he won 250 times more money on Super Millionaire.  But, it's the experience that counts.  The lesson here:  Don't try to make too much of a spectacle of yourself.  You're only fooling yourself if you do.

 True that. He'll just have to find a way to get by on that measly $500K.

They don't get the cases of Turtle Wax or the lifetime supply of Centrum Silver or the gift from Inventions Submission Corporation on "J!" any more, IIRC.

I'm positive Mr. Clementson was being facetious.

As Mr. Lemon might put it, "VROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOM!"

Or are you utterly jealous because you didn't qualify?  IMO, if you are intellegent enough to make both J! and Millionaire...that's worthy of recognition, not being dumped on.

I'd argue for the Kimmer...

In both applications, he was truthful.  He had not appeared on any other game show within the time frame at the point of his application for J! (Super Millionaire probably wasn't even scheduled at that point...), and SM allowed for his participation on J! not to be disqualifying.

I think that, if they're going to put standards for not appearing on multiple shows in quick succession into the rules, they should allow those standards to be universal.

However, after reading the thread, and seeing Matt, they have no choice.

The Kimmer must forfeit his winnings, since he violated the J! contract, if Matt's bold-faced quote is correct, by appearing on SM.  I don't think it'll be an issue though -- he can't have won $500K on J!...

C'mon -- Chris was being silly -- the "Lifetime Supply of Turtle Wax" was one of the most endearing "parting gifts" ever known on game shows...  ;)

Yes, but if you don't have a turtle it's about useless.

Why not?  The sky is the limit now for winnings.  Not likely he could have, but perhaps they would bump up the Tournament of Champions payout, etc.

 Through an unfortunate accident I don't care to discuss, I learned it's also quite effective on bald heads.
