He has this confidence because he knows he objectively has good taste. Ex. Shortstack lover

Dare i say this is a daunting method of success.

thats because your likes include astolfo which is gonna be hard to run past a crowd

@@drasticgray Well, I think the point its that Alan would never run by any of his tastes with a crowd. Like gravity or entropy, Alan states his passions as absolute universal law with no room for contradiction. None have dared to oppose Alan after he fully deboned a star trek convention goer and reassembled their skeletal structure into a flawless biology classroom appropriate human skeleton model when they criticized his flawless John de Lancie impression.

He has the confidence we should all aspire to have

O M G XD

@TransCube Those kind of non-celebrity game shows are not scripted like that.

@TransCube So the random contestents are given personalities they need to act out and pretend that's who they are? I know reality TV is just a fully pre-written soap opera that's pretending it's real, are gameshows with random members of the public operating the exact same way? seems like a lot of effort plus they would all need to act the part but most of them seem natural.

Something Alan shares with Snowflame. He's looking for any excuse to burn brighter. _any excuse!_

I did some acting in high school, but never really considered it as a career.

He doesn't act. He simply IS. THE. ROLE. They would all be non fiction, not "based on a true story", but the actual events as they are unfolding in his presence. No stunt doubles. No retakes because if someone ELSE fucks up their lines, he destroys them, that's the final cut (pun intended), and they start shooting (heh) the sequel. No special effects, why would you need any with his power?

I thought they could remove 2 wrong answers? why didn't he use that? did they remove that lifeline?

@@ShiaNeko I'm also pretty sure that's a lifeline, so I'm guessing it either a) wasn't available in 2009 or b) Alan assumed that if those words were so famous, the expert would know, and they wouldn't let him use two lifelines on one question (which they should have, if the expert didn't know).

@@eldritchteletubby9319 I don't know about back then but as far as I can remember, there's been the 50:50 lifeline to remove 2 wrong answers

ain't a theory, its a genuine fact.

No, they had no idea that I would even need to ask the expert. It was just how things worked out.

The key changes for the $2k to $32k and $64k to $500k questions are incredibly subtle yet set the mood perfectly.

Petition to the us government to Elon musk and Alan to switch bank accounts as alan knows what to do with a billion while elon musk is just a rich moron

as I understand it, the tricky part was more that he learned the precise point you had to stop the thing every time.. it was the equivalent of getting a frame-perfect glitch input in a game. So they randomized it and sped it up more.

I remember watching a documentary about this a long time ago. His name was Michael Larson. The real issue was that the board only had a few preset patterns, which he memorized after extensively studying the game on TV over and over again. The fact that there was a safe spot wasn't the sole problem. It was the fact that he knew exactly when to press the button to land on that spot. If it was truly random (like on the 2002 reboot) he wouldn't have been able to get away with it.

And even though they suspected foul play, eventually they had to conclude that he won it fair and square, so they paid him the 100k+ that he won. Sadly he would eventually lose his money through poor decision-making, get-rich-quick schemes, and even a robbery.

I remember watching that guy on a qxir video! What a legend!

Jeopardy has no lifeline

and what was she even an expert in? i bet they do things like phone in a top chef guy and make sure 0 of the questions are about food

It's YOUR (i.e. the contestant's) lifeline, or it used to be. YOU choose someone you know in real life, and the producers make sure they're on-call during the taping of the episode, "Powered by Sprint!" Although I remember someone still not answering at least once, and the contestant was SOL; this was before webcams, and they'd call landlines with 60 seconds to be read the answer over the phone and give their answer. Maybe the rules have changed in regards to who you can call, but I somehow doubt it. I assumed he'd met this woman at a convention of some kind, given she worked in showbusiness -- that is, if he hadn't just happened to have known her from school or something (hence the "we should have dated" comment), and decided she was smart enough to be a good phone-a-friend. Some people chose someone with knowledge pools they specifically lack, like sports or pop culture. This guy still chose a final answer while having a 50/50 lifeline available. However, 50/50's pretty useless as a lifeline, especially late in the game, as they only take away the two most obviously wrong answers. Especially after the contestant is sure it's one of 2, like just this episode. I don't have proof, but I think they change which answers disappear live depending on the contestant's guess. "It has to be either A or C! I'd like to use my 50/50!" _B and D magically disappear_ I shouted out "cellar door" before realizing it wasn't even an option.

@@pickles3128 this particular one wasn't phone a friend, it was "call a celebrity expert", they probably ended up swapping the phone a friend out because of everyone having very quick google access

@@barrothontherocks3325 That's too bad; thanks for the info. I really only watched this show's original run when I was 9 to age 12; 1999 to 2002. They could at least have had the phone-a-friend in a hotel with no Internet access save the webcam, or something like that. Pretty hard to google something when you're being filmed on national T.V. If you watch the original run, the questions are incredibly easy; I think this is because it was prior to internet access, which I like to think has made us a bit more knowledgeable. One of the 1 million dollar questions was "what is the prefix for one billionth?" and I remember screaming "NANO!" at my screen -- any high school student who'd passed basic Chemistry 1 could've told you that. Pico means trillionth (they use picometers to measure the space between protons and electrons in individual atoms.)
