It Was a Thing on TV: Episodes 487 & 488 - George/The First Episode of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? (US)

This week on It Was a Thing on TV we celebrate the birthday of Susan St. James while also celebrating the 25th anniversary of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
 
First, the 1990s was a renaissance for George Foreman, between regaining the WBA heavyweight championship, and the creation and rise in popularity of what became the George Foreman Grill.  Before those events, Foreman helmed a self-titled short-lived sitcom.  Happy 78th birthday, Susan St. James!
 
Then, today (August 16th) marks the 25th anniversary of the premiere episode of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? on ABC. The gang shares their memories and expectations leading up to the first episode while looking at some of the questions from the premiere.
 
Some of the questions in the premiere seemed easy in 1999 while some questions that looked hard in 1999 would be considered easy in 2024.

It Was a Thing on TV - Episode 486 - The Magic Hour

In the television landscape of 1998, there was a need for late night programming on FOX and other channels not part of The Big Three networks, something to fill the void when The Arsenio Hall Show ended.  Enter the NBA hoopster with a million dollar smile and the energy to match.  Unfortunately, said hoopster didn't have the chops to host.  It didn't help the show's sidekick got the boot during the 3rd episode.
