"John Carpenter (born c. 1968)[1] became the first millionaire on the United States version of the game show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire on November 19, 1999" [1].
The most important part of the show is the last question where he attempted to claim the final prize. Watch the following video which is too good for being a contestant at his final question for 1 million dollars.
