Greed is an American television game show that aired on Fox for one season. Chuck Woolery (pictured) was the show's host while Mark Thompson was its announcer. The series featured a team of contestants who answered up to eight multiple-choice questions for a prize of up to $2,000,000. Dick Clark and Bob Boden of Dick Clark Productions created it in response to the success of ABC's Who Wants to Be a Millionaire. Production was rushed so as to launch the show before Millionaire new season, and the show premiered on November 4, 1999. While its Nielsen ratings were not quite as successful as Millionaire, Greed still improved on Fox's performance year-to-year in its timeslots. Critical reception was mixed; some saw it as a clone of Millionaire, while others believed Greed was the more intriguing and dramatic of the two. The final episode aired July 14, 2000. Only one contestant advanced to the eighth question, but he failed to win the top prize.
