MY OWN GAME
quiz show Jeopardy!- An international game originally conceived by Merv Griffin and aired March 30, 1964 to September 7, 1975 on NBC Wire; in 1978 it was renewed and appeared (in new versions) on other channels and in different countries. In September 2007, the 24th season of Jeopardy! will begin.
In the Russian version, the TV quiz show has been broadcast on the NTV channel under the name “Own Game” since January 1994. The permanent host is Peter Kuleshov.
The essence of the game is that three participants race to answer questions of different cost, which depends on their complexity. In case of a correct answer, points are awarded to the player's account, in case of an incorrect answer, points are removed. Until 2001, there were only three rounds (“Red”, “Blue” and “Own Game”), now there are 4 of them. In the first, the cost of questions varies from 100 to 500 rubles, in the second - from 200 to 1000, and in the third - from 300 to 1500.
Only those players who have a positive amount on their account are allowed to the final round. Only one question is played in it, and all three participants are required to answer it. First they choose a topic, then they place their bets, after which the question itself is heard.
The topics of the questions mainly concern culture, history, literature, science, etc.
From radio play to the most watched TV show in the world.
The birthplace of the most famous TV show is Great Britain. The author of a brilliant idea initially embodied the prototype of the now popular television program on the air. The game was called "Double the Stakes" and came out as part of the morning program "Breakfast Show" on "Capital Radio". It all started with meager amounts, for example, from one pound, then the stakes increased, and often the winner could get quite a solid jackpot. Several times the stakes in the game reached 12 thousand pounds. The management of the radio station was in a panic, not knowing where to get the money to pay the winnings. As a result, a conflict arose with the authorities, and Briggs had to quit. After some time, he got a job on television and there he offered to realize his idea of \u200b\u200ban intellectual show. His project was approved, moreover, the size of the main prize amounted to one million pounds (an unprecedented cash prize for British TV).
The pilot release of the game, which was called "Mountain of Money", was considered unsuccessful by the management of the ITV channel and sent "for revision". It was originally assumed that in order to 
to get a million pounds, the player will need to answer 25 questions (from 1 pound to 1 million), but, apparently, such a “way to a million” seemed to the television authorities to be too long. It was also recognized as unsuccessful and musical arrangement show: apparently, the music written by Pete Waterman did not create the desired atmosphere, and in less than 2 weeks, composers Keith and Matthew Strachan (father and son) wrote more than a hundred musical themes, which are used in TV shows to this day (although in some countries - for example, in India - they are stylized as national music).
On September 4, 1998, the game was released on the ITV channel in its already familiar form and with the usual name - "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" (By the way, the name is taken from the song of the same name by Frank Sinatra, sounded in the movie "High Society"). Subsequently, the same name will be used in many other countries where the game will go on the air (including Russia).
A year later, the program attracted almost 20 million viewers. At one time, "Millionaire" was created specifically for its host - Chris Tarrent, and the popularity of the program is largely due to his merit. Currently, more than 100 countries around the world own the rights to produce the game.
To Russia with love.
In Russia, the first release of the game went on the air a year after the premiere in the UK - 
October 1, 1999 on the NTV channel. The game was called “Oh, Lucky!”, and Dmitry Dibrov became the host. Almost immediately it became the most popular on TV among entertainment programs, and a year later it was awarded the main television award "Tefi". According to the vast majority of fans of the quiz, Dmitry Dibrov was ideally suited for the role of the host of this show; he felt exactly how to behave in a certain game situation: he could try to persuade the player to the right answer, or he could lead him on the wrong path, while Dmitry himself found out the right answer only after the participant chose one of the options.
All good things come to an end: it so happened that after a year and a half of being on NTV, the program had to move to Channel One. Dmitry Dibrov refused to leave the NTV team at a difficult moment for him, and a new presenter was found for the show - linguist Maxim Galkin (by the way, for a long time he was the youngest presenter among all his other colleagues). The program changed not only the channel and presenter, but also the name: now it has become known as "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?", like in most other countries of the world. By the way, a paradoxical situation developed on Russian television at that moment: the NTV channel was still broadcasting the remaining episodes of “Oh, lucky!” (and later replays of games), and on Channel One since February 2001 a similar game has been released, but with a different name. Unprecedented hype was at that time in the press: interviews with the old and new presenters, comparisons, etc.
Before the journalists had time to compare the manner of conducting Dmitry and Maxim, like no other 
x, a new reason for the hype appeared: the first winner appeared in the game (under Dmitry Dibrov, a million rubles was never won) - he became a resident of St. Petersburg. Since then, three more participants have managed to give the correct answer to the last question: a married woman from Kirov, from the Moscow region and from Pyatigorsk. By the way, the last two won not a million, but three.
It won't be enough!
Since September 17, 2005, the format of the game has been slightly changed: now the main prize is not one, but three million rubles, and the game has become more interactive (an SMS game for TV viewers has been added, and viewers in the studio have been given the opportunity to vote on each of the questions, and not only when the participant asks them to do so). It is noteworthy that the level of difficulty of the questions remained unchanged.
Behind long years of its existence in the program, the rules changed several times; basically in better side for participants. For example, in 2006, a new clue "Three Wise Men" was introduced, borrowed from the American version of the game (however, this clue was available in our country from the first question, and not from the tenth, as in America). Three well-known people were invited to each game and watched the game from a special room; one 
at times during the game, the participant could turn to the "wise men" for help. With the advent of an additional hint, the players did not reach higher amounts, so this hint can be regarded rather as an opportunity to once again show famous people on TV.
And here are the stars!
During the entire existence of the game, many special projects have been carried out, in which famous TV presenters, actors, musicians, politicians ... The first such releases appeared back in the days of "Oh, the lucky one!", But this was an infrequent occurrence, which, no doubt, increased the audience's interest. Since 2004, a special project has been filmed for almost every holiday that is more or less significant for our country: the day of solidarity of workers, the tercentenary of the founding of St. Petersburg, the day of the police, the day national unity, last call and so on.
At first, such special releases were of great interest to viewers, however, with the appearance on almost every channel of various shows with "stars" ("Stars on Ice", "Stars in the Ring", "Stars in the Circus", "Two Stars", etc. .p.), audience interest in such games began to fall. Many even began to doubt the honesty of such games: all winnings were transferred to charitable purposes, so a famous person should not be allowed to lose face.
From the end of 2007 to the beginning of 2009, games with ordinary participants were not filmed at all. Today, the situation has not changed: now games with ordinary participants from the people, and not with "stars", have begun to be perceived as special projects. By the way, stellar participants do not show stellar results in the game: for many years only twice famous people managed to get to the last fifteenth question, to which no one dared to risk answering.
Who is bigger?
In 2005, the owner of the game format, Celador International Limited, announced that it sells all game formats (the company, in addition to Millionaire, which was the most famous teleform 
produced such games as "The smartest", "People against" and others), and henceforth will be engaged only in the production of films. An auction was announced, in which even the host of the British "Millionaire", Chris Tarrent, participated. It is not known how the fate of "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?" and other gaming projects, if he won, but the Dutch company 2WayTraffic offered the highest price.
Almost immediately after the acquisition, the company began to make its own adjustments to the format: so, already in the same year, the original British version also changed not for the better. From now on, the number of questions has been reduced from fifteen to twelve (exactly 3 easy questions have been abolished), in many versions the Quick Fingers selection contest has been canceled, the graphic design has also completely changed, and instead of the usual musical accompaniment began to be used mixed by Ramon Covallo musical themes. The program was ruined in just a few months, and no changes made to the game format helped it survive to today. At present, the original version, which gave life to all the rest, is aired only two or three times a year, on certain holidays.
Return…
Until 2008, the changes did not affect the Russian version (however, in some countries the game comes out without any special changes to this day: for example, in), however, the rights to produce the game were bought by Channel One (previously they belonged to WMedia), after which it was announced viewers vote: who they would like to see in the chair of the new host of the updated game. The audience themselves offered their candidacies, but, nesmo 
Although there were quite a few candidates, several leaders could be distinguished among them: Ivan Urgant, Dmitry Dibrov and Maxim Galkin. In November 2008, it was officially announced that Dmitry Dibrov, who had already hosted this program on the NTV channel several years ago, would become the new host of the game. Only star players also took part in the updated version of the game (until mid-2009), and many of them had already participated several times in this show when it was hosted by Maxim Galkin.
The audience's interest in the game increased again after the premiere of the film "Slumdog Millionaire", whose hero wins the main prize in this show. The host of a similar show in this film was voiced by Dmitry Dibrov. Since then, he often draws parallels between the players of the Russian "Millionaire" and the hero of "Slumdog Millionaire". The premiere of the first non-star release of the new "Millionaire" was timed to coincide with the broadcast of "Slumdog Millionaire" on Channel One: long before that, separate dialogues about this film were recorded with the game participants, so that the audience had the impression that the participants also watched the film the day before. games.
Currently, the game is released every Saturday at 18:15 on Channel One, and I really hope that all the changes that will continue to take place in the program will have a positive impact on the program.

It is very difficult to get on the program Who wants to become a millionaire, because there are too many applicants. And very often famous and popular people become participants.
But, if you consider yourself a lucky person, you can try to fill out a questionnaire on the site.
Fill in the fields full name, date of birth and other information about yourself. It is important to write about yourself as detailed and interesting as possible so that you are invited to the casting.
To do this, you need to fill out a questionnaire on the website of the First Channel.
Here is the skin of the questionnaire for the selection of participants:
As you can see, they ask not only the name. It's best to answer all questions. Taken for transmission interesting people, because the essence is not only in answering questions, but also in a dialogue with the host.
To get into the game Who want to be a millionaire you must first call the phone number 8-809-505-99-99 Or at least send SMS to number 7007, where instead of text from letters, type 1000000 .
At the other end of the line, the computer will ask you a question, and you try to answer it correctly. After the correct answer, the person is already a contender for participation in the game.
Then this applicant, if his computer chooses from a million of the same ones, still has to be tested with the program editor in telephone mode. He will be asked questions that need to be answered correctly.
Whether this person can be a participant in the Millionaire game depends on this.
My friend repeatedly tried to get on this program and now I understand where these prizes come from, which the winners receive. You call this program at 8-809-505-99-99 and they monotonously tell you what and how you need to do in order to get on the program. All this time, money is being charged from you for every minute. Then you are asked a question to which you need to give the correct answer. Then they begin to speak again approximately the same text that has already been heard before and ask the question again. As a result, my friend was never able to answer all the questions and give the right answers to all the questions, but he said a lot of money.
Become a player intellectual games(and maybe get a win) is quite simple, but you will have to fill in the fields of the questionnaire. Go to the game's website and fill in the fields with easy questions about you and your interests.

I have experience in this show. Getting there was not exactly easy. First you send an SMS with the correct answer to the selection question. True, it was a long time ago, then the computer selected a hundred people who correctly answered the question. The editors called everyone and asked five more questions that had to be answered correctly. My result was four out of five, but the editor said that this is a normal result and not everyone even answers four questions - the average result was three correct answers out of five.
I had a chance to participate in the final ten (again, I repeat that it was when they first selected the top ten participating in the game from a hundred, then only in the hall there was another selection - Galkin was the leader).
Now it has become easier - you fill out the participant’s questionnaire on the site, but not everyone will be called, you must interest the creators of this program in some way, because this is to some extent a show and it should be of interest to many, the rating of the program for the channel is the most important thing.
Please note that after participating in this project, you will be asked not to shine in other similar popular shows a certain number of years.
They called me again, I think because my goal was to try to win a second time, but with Dibrov. True, this time the participation did not take place, but not to my regret :).
There is a questionnaire on the channel's website that you need to fill out. To do this, go to this page and start filling in all the fields. The questions are very simple, you need to indicate your personal data, interests, hobbies and your thoughts on how you will spend your winnings. At the end, you need to attach your photo and send the questionnaire.
To get into the body of the game who wants to become a millionaire, you need to apply on the game's website, there you will fill out a participant form and if you are lucky you will be invited to Moscow for a transfer.
But on the transmission itself you will need to pass qualifying round and be the first to answer the quiz questions, then you will sit in the player's chair.
Also, to get on the transfer, you can call the number 8-809-505-99-99 where the robot will ask a few questions and if you answer them correctly, you will be included in the lists of potential players.
