Confetti Drop

The Confetti Drop, is a button that is pushed in the studio whenever a contestant correctly answers the final question. When pressed, a confetti cannon from the top of the studio showers confetti onto the studio floor, and the contestant. The first time we see this is during John Carpenter's win, in the U.S. It has malfunctioned before, on Judith Keppel's win, with the cannon not going off in time. However, in the end credits, the confetti drop worked as it should, showering confetti onto the studio. The confetti drop is notably absent in some countries (Russia, Ireland, India, and Iran).
