Not long ago I turned on the TV about 1 or 2 in the morning and never saw this ad again since.

This guy was thinking over a million dollar question on Meredith Millionaire, he answers a questions about physics and gets it right. The million dollar winner graphic comes up, but his name is only "CHUCK". As the confetti comes down, Meredith hands him tickets to the Mediterranean. I don't know what the ad was for because the TV got changed before the end of it.

Reminded me of one of those Holiday Inn Express game show commericials. Anybody know?

Just checking -- are you sure you weren't dreaming?

Sounds like I could be. However, I was wide awake. : )

I haven't seen anything like this. Could it possibly be a promo for the NBC show, Chuck? He might make a good contestant on the show, with that government database he's subliminally memorized.

Well, if the questions were all about classified secrets...

That's what I was thinking as well.

Not likely, Chuck is an NBC show and Millionaire is ABC/Disney right?

I don't think it was an ad for the NBC show. The contestant playing was a middle-aged guy. I'm thinking it was for an airline or cruiseline, considering the travel references.

It'll turn up again somewhere. Just was curious as I'd like to see it again.

OK, since you were wide awake -- it's starting to sound like a Chuck ad that wasn't quite ready.

Let us know when you see it again.

I saw this too. It looks like the cruise scene is a dream sequence, which makes the somewhat odd nature of everything make a bit more sense.

Good thing. That $1MM question would have rivaled Carpenter's and Blonsky's as "easiest 15th question ever."
