Robert "Bob-O" Essig was the 2nd contestant to sit in the hot seat during the short run of Super Millionaire. He'd end up being the biggest winner on SM, winning $1,000,000.
This is his $1,000,000 question where he uses his Double Dip lifeline and gets it right on his first DD guess.
Joe Trela sat in the hotseat on March 23, 2000 and became the show's third $1,000,000 winner. What was even more impressive was that he went the entire upper tier of questions without an available lifeline to use, having used his last ones at $32,000, which was the first time a $1,000,000 winner had done that.
This is part 1 of his run from his $100 question to his $1,000 question.
Of course, this part doesn't really need a description, but this is game show history right here and it set the standard for all future game show millionaires. It still holds up as one of the greatest game show moments of all time, even to this day, over 8 years since it happened.
Big loss to a whammy in an episode from the 2nd season of Whammy. After a small run at the board following his only whammy of the game, Chad figures the only way to win is to hope Amie whammies, so he passes 4 spins to Amie when he sees himself down $17,326.

This is his $50,000 question where he decides to call his father-in-law for a little help and where Bob-O and Regis have a nice little exchange as well. Nice fakeout by Regis at the end, too.
Dan Blonsky appeared in the hot seat on January 16th and 18th of 2000 and became WWTBAM's second $1,000,000 winner. A couple of people have requested that I post his run, and I just recently caught the rerun on GSN, so I'm happy to post it for those who requested it and for the rest of my subscribers.

Brian first appeared on WWTBAM on January 20, 2000 and missed his $100 question, leaving with nothing. He came back on May 20, 2001 with others $0 winners on a WWTBAM Zero Dollar Winners show and won $16,000. Not bad. :)
Part 2 is of better quality and shows his $2,000 question to his $32,000 question, which he walks away from.
