Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? – Wikipedia

Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? is a French television game of British origin broadcast on TF1 since the July 3, 2000 and presented by Jean-Pierre Foucault from 2000 to 2016. Then, after a last program Le January 19, 2019 , it is replaced by Camille Combal from the January 26, 2019 .

It is based on multiple choice questionnaires (MCQ) of general culture.

The original game Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? Created by David Briggs is published by 2waytraffic, Dutch production company belonging to Sony Pictures Television. Other countries, such as India, also broadcast television game (crorepati (in) ). In 2009, it is the most popular television game in the world in terms of audience and it was broadcast in more than one hundred and twenty countries ^{[ first ]} .

In December 2010, TF1 announced the current formula in its daily version. The bad audiences of the last session in June 2010 , certainly due to the change of game schedule, are the cause ^{[ 2 ]} . Only the prime-time version with personalities was maintained between 2010 and 2016, the daily version having stopped. A final issue is broadcast on first ^is January 2016 .

In December 2018 , Jean-Pierre Foucault announces that he stops the presentation of the game and passes the relay to Camille Combal for a return to the antenna on TF1 in January 2019 . Jean-Pierre Foucault then presents a final issue with the new guest host during a special program before “Passage of power” ^{[ 3 ]} .

In February 2019 ^{[ 4 ]} , TF1 announces the return of the daily version. The first shoots are planned for April 2019 , for diffusion from the May 13, 2019 ^{[ 4 ]} , at 6:15 p.m., just before the new soap opera Tomorrow belongs to us . The first season with Camille Combal at the presentation was broadcast from Monday to Friday, from the May 13 At June 21, 2019 . The June 14, 2019 , the host announces on his Twitter account that the program will be renewed with the recording of new premiums and then daily programs later in the year ^{[ 5 ]} .

For the first time and in an exceptional setting due to the confinement caused by the COVVI-19 health crisis in 2020, TF1 decided to produce the program at the host’s home during the first weeks, then on set, with celebrities responding from home. Indeed, Camille Combal poses questions in video conference from home (then on set after confinement) and his candidate answers him from home (after confinement, he also receives candidates on the set). This is the first time that the game does not take place on the mythical set and it is maintained even in time of health crisis thanks to new technologies. The program was broadcast daily from Monday to Friday to Friday at 19 h 5 between the April 20 and the June 12, 2020 .

The goal of the game is to answer a series of 15 questions (12 questions between April 2009 and January 2016) of general culture to try to win the maximum gain, set since September 2001 to 1,000,000 € € (except exceptionally from April to June 2020 where the maximum gain is lowered to 300,000 € € On the occasion of the confined version of the show). The biggest possible gain was 3,000,000 F in July 2000, then 4,000,000 F of September 2000 To July 2001 .

Selection mode for anonymous candidates [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Selection between 2000 and 2010 [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

There are several steps to go to participate in the game:

1. The candidate must register by SMS or by phone, or play on the TF1 website (Only certain periods make it possible to qualify for the program; the rest of the time, the game on the web has a lot of 1,500 € € ) . He thus gives his phone number and chooses the film date in which he wishes to participate.
2. First selection: Two people are selected by drawing among the game winners on the TF1 website. They will automatically participate in the shooting of the program the day chosen. 100 candidates Registered by SMS or by phone are drawn by a bailiff for each shoot. These are called by production to the number they gave during registration.
3. Second selection, only for SMS or telephone registered: the same question is asked 100 which have approximately 20 seconds To respond to it with a number like “How fast does our galaxy run on itself?” “Or” according to The Parisian of 31 mars 2006 , how many French households are equipped with TNT? ». The eight people closest to the correct answer are selected. If several people have given the eighth nearest answer, then these will be recalled and a new question will be asked to decide between them.
4. The ten selected are invited to go to Paris the day before the day of filming. They receive a flat -rate compensation of 152.50 € € ^{[ Ref. desired]} For their travel expenses and those of their guide. They are welcomed in a hotel reserved by production. Dinner, at night, breakfast and lunch are paid by production, and this also for the guide.
5. Third selection: on the set, to select the candidates who will actually participate in the game (at the center), an event is to answer a question of speed, in general to classify in a certain order of the terms, according to their ages, their areas, their alphabetical order, etc. The fastest then wins the right to play with the host. If two candidates, or more, give the right classification in the same period of time (to the nearest hundredth) a second question of speed will be asked alone. Of June 7 At July 9, 2010 , the candidate no longer needed to answer a question of speed to be selected ^{[Ref. necessary]} .

Selection from 2019 [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

In 2019, the selection mode changes. Applicants must register on the TF1 website and record a video in which they arise. The production then then contacted the candidates selected to participate in the program. The novelty compared to daily programs from 2000 to 2010 is that candidates can present themselves or in pairs with a loved one (family member or friend), while previously, they could only participate solo. As in 2010, candidates no longer need to answer a question of speed to participate in the game at the center of the set.

The questions [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The game takes place around a series of questions (some of which have been illustrated since the July 12, 2014 ) whose associated gains increase to each level, to reach 1,000,000 € € At the end of the course. The host poses, for each level of the pyramid, a question and offers four possible answers. The difficulty of the questions increases with the proposed sum. Once the question has been asked, the player has the choice to give up or not the game without answering and leaving with the earnings from the previous level. Once his response has been announced and validated (“It’s my last word” once the first level has been crossed), the player goes up to the higher level of the pyramid of gains if his answer is good. If the candidate answers a question for a question, he leaves the game with the amount of the last landing reached. If the candidate does not answer a question without having reached the first level, he leaves empty -handed.

Note that in this case, the animator asks the question “Is that your last word?” – which is exceptional before the first level – in order to be sure of the candidate’s intention to give this answer. The only candidate to have validated his response left empty -handed.

The throbbing music, light games and the fact that the presenter asks the player each time to confirm his answer by “It’s my last word” can create a certain tension. Despite everything, there is no time limit (except for the joker “call to a friend”) and the atmosphere is sometimes quite relaxed, especially when the players are personalities who play for an association, and in particular Since the resumption of the game by Camille Combal.

Gains [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

Pyramide des gains [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The pyramid has two levels which correspond respectively to the fifth and the tenth levels (in the second and seventh level between the April 27, 2009 and the first ^is January 2016 , the pyramid then comprising twelve levels) and which, whatever the result of the following questions, ensure a level of gain to the candidates. An error subsequently only brings back to the previous level (instead of losing everything).

The first pyramid of fifteen levels in francs was used for broadcasts broadcast from July 3, 2000 At July 7, 2001 . A slight modification has been made from the September 30, 2000 : the gains of the two highest levels have increased by a third, passing respectively from 1,500,000 F at 2,000,000 F and 3,000,000 F at 4,000,000 F .

Since the September 8, 2001 , on the occasion of the transition to the Euro, a new pyramid of winnings appears. The maximum gain is now one million euros; The other fourteen gains correspond to an approximate conversion of the amounts at the equivalent levels in francs. Until December 15, 2001 , the conversion of gains into francs was displayed during the program for candidates and viewers.

The April 27, 2009 , the gains pyramid evolves: it only has twelve levels instead of the fifteen originally planned. This evolution, which had already taken place in the original British version Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? From 2007 to 2014, aimed to make the program more dynamic. The gains pyramid with twelve questions is similar to the previous one by removing the three lowest amounts. The two levels always correspond to the same amounts as before.

When the show returns in 2019, the pyramid of gains again includes fifteen levels, as at the origin of the game, and there again in a similar way to the original British game, which has returned to the system with fifteen questions since 2018. The gains of the three highest levels (150,000 € € , 300 000 € € and 1,000,000 € € For the thirteenth, fourteenth and fifteenth levels) are preserved, while the other twelve, 200 € € at 100,000 € € , are reduced: the first questions to twelfth are now worth 100 respectively € € at 72,000 € € . For the confined version of April 20 At June 12, 2020 , gains from the eighth question are still temporarily reduced. For the first time, the maximum gain is lowered to 300,000 € € . The earnings from the first to the seventh question do not change.

Gain financing [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The sums won are in fact a redistribution of several different sources of income. In France, the financing of candidates’ gains comes, among other things, from:

• The money collected by the overwhelmed calls necessary for registration (0.56 € € the call) ;
• sending SMS (0.50 € € By SMS to which the price of SMS is added), the SMS making it possible to answer the question asked during advertising (1,500 € € are at stake on each program);
• advertising, whose prices are generally high, because the program meets a very strong audience (note the audience record of summer 2007 with on average 6 millions viewers per evening for 40% market share);
• the partners ;
• Derivative products (video games, internet games or timepieces and board games).

The Jokers [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The player has four jokers (three of the July 3, 2000 At first ^is January 2006 A you April 27, 2009 At January 19, 2019 ) that he can use at any time. It is also possible to use several jokers for the same question, and in any order; The use of one or more jokers does not prevent the candidate from giving up answering a question. Each joker can only be used once.

• The 50/50 : The computer eliminates two bad answers out of the four, previously chosen by the questions of questions. Its vocation is to facilitate the choice, but can very well delete two responses that the candidate had already dismissed and leave the two other plausible proposals equally, which contributes to raising the tension.
• The call to a friend (member of the family or friend): The candidate asks the question and offers the answers to one of his “friends”, in a maximum time of 30 seconds. He is effective when the candidate has in his list of friends a person specializing in the question for whom he asks the Joker. Indeed, the player chooses the person he wishes to call, among his list with a maximum of 3 people. If the friend is unreachable, the Joker is still counted as used. Note that this joker can be considered a gift: it is enough for the candidate to have previously concerted with an accomplice so that the latter remains near a phone and a computer with an internet connection on the day of the recording of the show. Thirty seconds represent a long time sufficient to find the answer to a multiple choice question on the web. If certain versions of the game such as the Australian, American or British version have decided to remedy this by removing this Joker or by modifying its methods of use (in particular by the presence of a member of production in the friend called) , the French version has made no particular provision; Internet research is therefore not prohibited by the regulations.
• Public opinion ( temporarily withdrawn from April 20 At June 12, 2020 , then the first ^is August 2020 ) : Public members are called upon to vote, using a remote control, for the answer that seems correct to them. The members of the public are not forced to vote, allowing those who ignore the answer not to put the candidate on a bad track. Moreover, the host asks spectators to vote only if they are sure and some of having the answer. The results are then represented in the form of percentages by letter. It is generally this joker that determines the right answer with the most certainty, but it happened on rare occasions that the public is wrong. In the confined formula of the show, this joker is replaced by Home call .
• Le switch (of June 5, 2006 At April 11, 2009 ): Available after the candidate crossed the first ^is bearing, it allows it to abandon the current question, and to move on to another of the same value. This joker appears from the June 5, 2006 , then is deleted when setting up the pyramid with twelve questions ^{[ 6 ]} .
• The host of the host (since January 26, 2019 ): The candidate asks the animator to help him answer the question, without time limit. The host then begins his intervention with the sentence “here is what I think”, confirming the use of the Joker, and concludes it with “this is my last word”, allowing the candidate to make a decision. Since the animator does not have the answers on his screen, the answer he gives can possibly be incorrect; He may also indicate that he hesitates between several proposals or decide, in case of uncertainty, not to give any answer so as not to send the candidate on a false track. The appearance of this Joker is due to the arrival of Camille Combal to the presentation of the game.
• Home call (of April 20, 2020 At June 12, 2020 Then the first ^is August 2020 ), during the confined version): this joker works exactly like the appeal to a friend , with the difference that instead of an knowledge of the candidate’s choice, it is an anonymous person who previously registered who is selected at random and called to try to help the candidate to answer the question ^{[ 7 ]} .

Note : the jkers appeal to a friend , l’ public opinion , the animator feeling and the call at home give an indication concerning the possible correct answer, but the candidate is in no way obliged to follow the latter; He can offer another answer than that suggested by the Joker or decide not to answer the question and leave with the sum he has just won.

The music [ modifier | Modifier and code ]

The music commonly associated with the franchise was composed by Keith and Matthew Stracchan, father and son. She dramatizes the atmosphere and brings tension there, and unlike old games, the music of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire was created to be played during almost all of the show. The credits take its inspiration from Mars , one of the movements of Planets de Gustav Holst ^{[ ten ]} ; each musical theme used for questions (of the 6 ^{It is} to the ten ^{It is} question, then 11 ^{It is} to the 14 ^{It is} Question) Increases a half-tone between each question, in order to increase tension as candidates progress in the pyramid of gains.

In 2010, the credits were remixed and new music music (composed by Ramon Covalo, used in the original British version between 2007 and 2014) replaced those broadcast until then. ^{[Ref. necessary]}

In all the history of the French version of the game, only three candidates won the maximum sum:

• The September 30, 2000 , Frédéric Grégoire ^{[ 11 ]} won 4 million francs from the time (just over 600,000 € € current);
• The November 4th 2000, Louis ^{[ twelfth ]} won 4 millions francs;
• Marie Friedel, on the other hand, obtains the August 27, 2004 1 million d’E euros ^{[ 13 ]} . It was the record for the biggest gain acquired by a candidate alone in a television game for 17 years in France until September 25, 2021, the day when Bruno Hourcade, a candidate of the game The 12 noon shots , reached more than a million euros in accumulated gains ^{[ 14 ]} .

Several special programs, where anonymous candidates played, have been broadcast in prime time ( Special couples , Special stepmother and son-in-law , Special twins , Special graduates And Special new bride and groom, new PACS ) between the June 7, 2001 and the November 29, 2005 .

Of the prime times where celebrities play teams of two to defend a non -profit association have also been broadcast between the September 29, 2001 and the first ^is January 2016 and since the January 19, 2019 .

Note that only the prime-time version with personalities was maintained between 2010 and 2016, the daily version having stopped for lack of audiences ^{[ 15 ]} .

The first ^is July 2003 , a special program entitled ‘ The prohibited program » was broadcast in the second half of the evening. It was entirely devoted to the Charles Ingram affair, candidate of the British version of the game who had pocketed 1 million sterling books by cheating with the help of two accomplices present in the public and on the set ^{[ 16 ]} . It was the only time when Jean-Pierre Foucault presented the program without the presence of the public ^{[Ref. necessary]} .

The September 5, 2015 , TF1 offers a special anniversary number for 15 years old of the show. There are TF1 TV game hosts accompanied by their greatest winners (notably Laurence Boccolini for Money Drop it Jean-luc richman pour The 12 noon shots , accompanied respectively by Dominique and Xavier, big winners of these games), as well as Christophe Beaugrand and Olivier Minne, as respective animators of Qi: France is taking the test and of Joker , accompanied by winners of these programs, Mathieu and Tristan. We also find Jean-Pierre Foucault playing as a candidate alongside Jafaar, candidate who won 150,000 € € in 2005 . Laurence Boccolini exceptionally presents the game during the passage of Jean-Pierre Foucault as a candidate ^{[ 17 ]} .

The first ^is January 2016 , TF1 offers a special yellow pieces number with Bernadette Chirac as guest.

The January 19, 2019 , for the return of the game after three years of absence, Jean-Pierre Foucault presents Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? For the last time and welcomes five celebrities duos playing for associations, as in previous premiums. At the end of the show, he receives Camille Combal as a candidate (with Anne-Élisabeth Lemoine), who then became a host of the game January 26, 2019 ; Jean-Pierre Foucault participating in this program as a candidate (alongside Kev Adams).

The April 18, 2019 , following the fire of Notre-Dame de Paris, TF1 announces that the Research Section series is replaced by a special of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire ? devoted to Notre-Dame de Paris cathedral and whose gains will be completely donated to the Heritage Foundation ^{[ 18 ]} . There are three pairs of presenters (Anne-Claire Coudray and Harry Roselmack, Laurence Boccolini and Arthur, Alessandra Sublet and Grégoire Margotton) and a dance duo with the stars (Fauve Hautot and Chris Marques).

The return of the daily version the May 13, 2019 brought new features: on the one hand, anonymous candidates can now participate as a duo, and on the other hand, celebrities can play for associations, which was until then the case in the first part programs evening.

Legend of colors used	Right answer	Poor response validated by the candidate	Poor response having collected the most votes during the public opinion

• In October 2000 , a controversy was born around a question asked in Frédéric (the first multi-millionaire winner), the September 30 previous. She concerns a character in comics The Adventures of Tintin For a question at 1 million francs.

In Tintin, who comes to treat Captain Haddock?
A: Doctor Plotule	B: Doctor Omoplate
C: Doctor Meniscus	D: Doctor Tympan

The candidate asked as a joker Public vote of which 73% of the voters answered Doctor Plutule, while 1% replied “Doctor Omoplate” , 11% and 15% have chosen respectively “Doctor Meniscus” And “Doctor tympanum” . The controversy around a possible factor in the program comes from the fact that this character appears a tiny number of times in the albums and that it is unlikely that so great proportion of people can know him ^{[ 19 ]} . In addition, in Tintin’s albums, Doctor Kingy who is mentioned is not the same as the one who comes to treat Captain Haddock.

• The November 4, 2000 , Louis is the second candidate to win 4 million francs.

The question that was worth 4,000,000 F was :

• The August 26, 2004 , for the first time ^{[Ref. necessary]} , the public unanimously gave the same answer on a question for which he had been consulted ^{[ 20 ]} . The question that was worth 3000 € € was :

What is the title of the cartoon of Disney studios, released in 2004?
A: Eagles brother	B: Bears’ brother
C: Reindeer brother	D: Swan brother

The same situation has happened again May 15, 2009 With the following question, which was worth 12,000 € € :

• The June 29, 2006 , a candidate in France left the show without having reached the first level. He had dropped on the fifth question at 1,500 € € on the nickname that was attributed to Charlemagne:

He replied that it was the emperor at the “Three -day beard” While it was the emperor at the “Flower beard” . It was the only time in the French version of the game where a candidate who played on the central chair left empty ^{[ 21 ]} .

• The July 13, 2006 , a candidate replied that the sun revolved around the earth ^{[ 22 ] , [ 23 ]} . The question, which was worth 3,000 € € , was :

After hesitation, he uses the public vote, but he claims 56% that it is the sun that revolves around the earth. Only 42% say it is the moon, which was the right answer, and 2% say that it is Mars. The candidate finally validated the majority given by the public and left with 1,500 € € .

• The June 18, 2008 , a candidate returned following an error during her first visit the April 14, 2008 . The question that was worth 6000 € € was :

The candidate had answered “A drink” While the expected answer was “A food” . After the broadcast of the show, the editors found that some beverages are considered food, the answer “A drink” is therefore considered exact. This candidate therefore returned and the answer was accepted, so she continued the pyramid of gains starting from 6,000 € € . Then she left with 12,000 € € ^{[ 21 ]} .

• The June 25, 2008 , for the first time in the French version of the show, two candidates came to an equalness during the question of speed. A new question of speed was therefore asked only to these two candidates to decide between them (the gap between the two candidates was finally 0.01 seconds to the second question). This situation has repeatedly happened in 2009 .
• The May 8, 2009 , a candidate answered a question of speed in just 2.25 seconds.
• The May 29, 2009 , a candidate playing for 48,000 € € had to answer the following question:

The candidate won by responding “Laye Fatte” , which was the expected answer of the editors of the question. But, in reality, the question contained a formulation error: La Fayette is not the only one of the four characters not to have been guillotined during the French Revolution. Indeed, Mirabeau died following an illness April 2, 1791 , in Paris ^{[ 21 ]} .

• The June 15, 2009 , during a question at 100,000 € € was :

Only four public people voted when the Joker Public vote was used by a candidate. But no one out of the four gave the right answer and three of them voted for the answer D, an answer that the candidate later validated. The correct answer being the answer A, the candidate fell to 48,000 € € .

• Lambert Wilson and Nolwenn Leroy are the candidates who lost the most money on the show. Indeed, they had 150,000 € € and played for 300,000 € € . The question was:

Their friend, called thanks to the Joker Appeal to a friend , was sure of his answer ( ” The Reunion Island ” ) but it was unfortunately the bad (the right one being “The island of Malta” ). Falling back to 48,000 € € , they lost the sum of 102,000 € € .

In Europe, during the reign of Louis XV, how did we call the court of the King of France?
A: The scented courtyard	B: The Gourmet Court
C: The learned courtyard	D: The colored courtyard

Having a doubt, they ask the Joker Public vote . After the vote, the results are revealed and surprised: the four responses are displayed at 0%. A few moments later, Jean-Pierre Foucault will announce that this is a computer problem and that the vote will be relaunched. The second time, the results are displayed properly, and the public votes mainly for response C, 67%. After a few minutes of reflection, the duo finally validates the answer A, which was the right answer, and continue their ascent in the pyramid of gains.
