YMMV / Million Second Quiz

  • Padding: It's a primetime game show on NBC. Seriously, what'd you expect? Unlike most shows, however, this can be a good thing... for the players, at least, since the clock (and the money) keeps racking up during commercial breaks and industry standard reality show filler segments. Buzzerblog calculated that the champion during the premiere had earned at least $12,000 doing nothing.
  • Retroactive Recognition:
    • The eventual winner, Andrew Kravis, had been on several other game shows before; he made it to a quarter-final round during the Jeopardy! Teen Tournament in 2002, won about $50,000 on a Wheel of Fortune College Week, and won $1,000 on Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?.
    • Brandon Saunders (the runner-up) was also a Millionaire alumni, particularly during an episode where 69% of the audience correctly voted that a late-night porn block on Cinemax had the Fan Nickname "Skinemax". He is now one of the five Chasers on the ABC version of The Chase (Game Show).
