You all remember when John Carpenter became the first contestant in the US and Worldwide to win the $1 MILLION. It's now been exactly 12 years since then.
History was sure made that night. Just a recap, he didn't use a single lifeline until his $1 MILLION question, when he called his father and said the exact words, "I don't really need your help, i'm just calling to let you know that i'm gonna win the Million Dollars." That sure is a way to win the Jackpot with class.
You even get to see that moment right here

I wonder what would happen if John Carpenter came to the shuffle version of the show?

O yea now i remember...that was a moment where I thought "Hey he won the million without a lifeline, why would you leave anyways..." I guess its what you know and what you dont know that counts.
