Who Wants to Be a Millionaire Quotes

Context

This line is spoken most famously by host Regis Philbin on the TV show Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? (2002-present).

Jeopardy! has a lot of questions. It can get overwhelming. In 2002, someone realized that what Americans wanted was fewer questions and more dramatic tension. And so, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? was born (based on a UK game show of the same name).

During this hour-long TV show, host Regis Philbin would ask one question approximately every six minutes, drawing out the program for an indecent amount of time and airing it on average nine days a week. Yes, Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? defied time and space and the limits of our patience.

But back to the quote: Reg's main technique in building tension was to ask the question "Is that your final answer?" every time a question was answered.
