David Goodman

David Goodman, from Olney, Maryland, was a contestant on the U.S. version of the show on July 11th, 2000. He was the sixth American contestant to win $1,000,000, and along with John Carpenter and Steve Perry, one of the only three American contestants to reach the million dollar question with all 3 lifelines still available.

Fastest Finger Question
Competing for a place in the Hot Seat was a visually impaired contestant. Therefore, Regis would first read out loud the question and four possible answers, and then those would appear on the contestants's screen, and only then could they input an answer (making for some sub-2 second times, an unusual ocurrence in the show).

From the 10 contestants, 4 got it right, but David (with a time of 1.58 seconds) was the fastest to correctly answer C-D-A-B, making it into the Hot Seat.
