John Carpenter (né en 1968) est le tout premier gagnant du jackpot de l'émission "qui veut gagner des millions"(Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?) aux états unis.

Le 20 novembre 1999, John Carpenter empoche la coquette somme de 1 million de Dollars...soit environ 1 million d'Euros !!!

La vidéo vous présente les Dernières Minutes du jeu. Il s'agit de la dernière question : celle à 1 million de dollars. John Carpenter choisit d'utiliser le joker "l'appel à un ami". Il décide d'appeler son père :

John: Hi, Dad.
John's dad: Hi.
John: Um . . . I don't really need your help. I just wanted to let you know that I'm going to win the million dollars--
(crowd laughs, cheers wildly)
John: [with 5 seconds remaining on phone call] --because the U.S. President that appeared in 'Laugh-In' is Richard Nixon, that's my final answer.

Regis Philbin: My God. What can I say except: Debbie, you're going to Paris, and this is the final answer heard all around the world, HE'S WON $1 MILLION! Debbie, come on down!

Regis Philbin: I can't believe it. One million dollars and all your lifelines intact. You didn't need those stinkin' lifelines, did you?
