Revision as of 13:50, 18 September 2020


Chcete být milionářem? is the Czech version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire? which premiered on 16th October 2000 on TV NOVA channel. Its first host was Vladimír Čech (2000-2003), who was then followed by Martin Preiss (2003-2004) and later by Ondřej Hejma (2005). The newest host is Marek Vašut, who was introduced on 23rd March 2016.

In its latest installment, contestants could choose either the classic format, with 3 lifelines and 2 safe havens or the risk format, where they forfeit their 320,000 Kč safe haven (so their only safe haven is on 10,000 Kč) and have access to a fourth lifeline: Ask One of the Audience (Pomoc diváka).

Lifelines

  • Ask One of the Audience (Pomoc diváka) - this lifeline is available if a contestant has chosen the risk format. The host asks all audience members who think they know the correct answer for the question to stand up, then the contestant chooses one of them by looks only, and the host asks that audience member what is the correct answer and why. If the audience member chooses the correct answer, they earn 5,000 Kč.

Seasons

  • Season 1 (413 episodes, October 16, 2000 - September 4, 2005)
  • Season 2 (26 episodes, March 23, 2016 - August 23, 2017)
