In the 2000's, back when Millionaire was relatively new everywhere, the production team released two special episodes of the show revolving around a canadian format, thus being named "Who wants to be a Millionaire - Canadian Edition". For those who may not remember this format, let me briefly explain to you how it worked:
Due to the extraordinary success of the show in the United States, ABC and CTV dedicated two episodes to Canada, meaning that the entire show would basically be "Canadian-based". In the first episode of the specials, we are given a quick flashback to WWTBAM's most memorable moments, and how no contestant on the show had been a Canadian. Right before the intro plays, Regis himself appears on screen to say this:
"That's right. Until tonight, Canada! Now it's your turn. So join Pamela Wallin and all your fellow Canadians from New York as they play - Who wants to be a Millionaire: Canadian Edition!"
As you would have probably guessed, the show was completely reformed (with host Pamela Wallin, a canadian audience and canadian contestants) to no longer be the way Millionaire was seen in the U.S. before. While there weren't any actual changes in gameplay, the questions were majorly centered around Canada. This would go for the geographical aspects, culture, TV shows/movies, etc.
Now, I'd like to ask you: If Canada would eventually receive their own version of WWTBAM, what exactly would you like to see them implement to the format? And what should particularly be different from the "Canadian Edition"?
