* BonusRound: ''American Know-It-All'' featured a million-dollar endgame for the champion, with six rounds of a decreasing number of clues (6 for $25K, 5 for $50K, 4 for $75K, 3 for $100K, 2 for $250K and 1 for $1M). The champion could walk away with their winnings before each round, as they would only leave with the $10K they won in the main game if they got a question wrong.

The opening round was a qualifying round (note, that host Henry Kelly always ''insisted'' that this was ''not'' the first round) that started with a pool of 7 contestants, competing to correctly answer questions which consist of a profile of the subject that starts obscure and slowly becomes more obvious (or in other words, it's the "Fame Game" questions from sister show ''Series/SaleOfTheCentury''). The first four contestants to answer correctly moved on to "Beat the Buzzer"--the first round proper, while the contestants who failed to qualify (or are eliminated in the main game) returned the next day to try again.

The top two scorers advanced to the final round: it once again involved Fame Game questions, but there was now a timer split into four segments: each contestant received two blocks during which they were allowed to guess, and the questions also degraded in value (from 4 points to just 1) depending on how long it took to answer. An incorrect guess passed the time block to the opponent.

Localized versions also exist in other countries: the French version ''Series/QuestionsPourUnChampion'' debuted in the 1980's and still airs to this day. In the 2000's, Creator/{{FremantleMedia}} attempted a second pilot for the format in the U.S. as a primetime series--''American Know-It-All'' with Creator/NeilPatrickHarris as host--but it wasn't picked up.
