John Carpenter, a notable American game show contestant and IRS agent, gained widespread attention for his remarkable performance on the final question of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”

What set his experience apart was the fact that he reached this critical juncture with all three of his lifelines still intact.

The million-dollar question that stood before him was: “Which of these U.S. Presidents appeared on the television series ‘Laugh-In’?”

The options provided were:

A) Lyndon Johnson,
B) Richard Nixon,
C) Jimmy Carter,
and D) Gerald Ford.

Rather than narrating the question to his father, Tom, as is customary in such situations, John surprised everyone with an unexpected move that left the entire audience in awe.

Instead of seeking assistance, he opted to use his “Phone-a-Friend” lifeline to call his father.

The anticipation in the room was palpable as John and his father exchanged pleasantries.

In a twist that defied expectations, John Carpenter, with confidence and without posing the question, declared to his father that he was about to win one million dollars.

In shock at Carpenter’s apparent certainty, the audience, who had initially anticipated a strategic discussion, burst into applause.

This bold move not only showcased his confidence but also added a memorable and unconventional moment to the annals of game show history.

Ultimately, John Carpenter’s gamble paid off, solidifying his place as one of the most memorable contestants in the history of “Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.”
