FX/SFX: The zoom-up and shine. Also, the moving clouds.
Music/Sounds: The closing theme of the show, original Millionaire airings used ABC's generic theme.
Availability: Rare. Appears on the U.S. (and possibly UK) version of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?. This first appeared on a ABC Daytime show, Mike & Maty. This was also seen on the Comedy Central game show Win Ben Stein's Money, which was last seen in reruns on GSN from 2004-2006.
