It may be under pressure from The Chase but tomorrow Hot Seat will mark its 1500th episode.
That’s a very good run given Nine threw a number of shows to combat Deal or No Deal (Million Dollar Wheel of Fortune, anyone?).
To date the show has given away $38 million dollars to over 9000 contestants, including the elusive $1M prize to South Australian father, Edwin Daly, in August.
“It’s a lot of shows and it’s a lot of questions, but most of all it has been a lot of fun,” McGuire said. “Meeting the contestants and watching how we’ve helped change their lives has been a constant source of great enjoyment for me and I’ve loved every minute of it.”
Executive Producer Steve Gilbert said: “2016 has been a massive year for Millionaire Hot Seat. No matter the prize won, we’ve changed many lives on this quiz show and we hope to keep doing so in the future.”
5:30pm (it’s never 5:30pm!) Wednesday October 12th on Nine.
I cant see it lifting at 5.30
I thought only the person answering the last question won money, so surely they’ve had no more than 1500 winners in 1500 shows.
Still enjoy watching this show.
At least they can still win money.
