Million Dollar Money Drop is an American game show that aired on Fox in the United States and Canada.

After the timer either runs out or is stopped, the drops for the incorrect answers are opened; any money placed on them falls down a chute and is removed from play by security guards beneath the stage, while any money placed on the correct answer is carried forward to the next question.

[citation needed] Like the original UK version, the show introduced an online interactive play-along aired during the season finale.

At the end of each round, viewers were ranked on the leaderboard based on how fast they answered and the "virtual cash" (money that was not actually won) allocated onto the correct drop.

On the season premiere, Gabe Okoye and Brittany Mayti lost $800,000 on a question that asked, "Which of these was sold in stores first?"

In this case, our research team spoke directly with 3M, and they confirmed that although they had given out free samples in test markets in 1977 and 1978, it wasn't until 1980 that Post-Its were sold in stores.

"[13] Two days later, Apploff issued another statement: “Unfortunately the information our research department originally obtained from 3M regarding when Post-it notes were first sold was incomplete... As a result of new information we have received from 3M, we feel it is only fair to give our contestants, Gabe and Brittany, another shot to play Million Dollar Money Drop even though this question was not the deciding question in their game.

"[15] On September 25, 2012, BuzzerBlog reported that the next couple to play after Gabe and Brittany, Andrew and Patricia Murray, also planned to sue Fox and Endemol because they also had a question with a similar manner: "According to the data security firm IMPERVA, what's the most common computer password?"

In a statement from the Murrays, "IMPERVA did not conduct its own objective survey of computer users but rather supports its assertion that 123456 is the most common password based on analysis of a hacking incident involving a website known as RockYou.com"; the couple maintained that had they known that the question was pertaining to that incident, they would have "hedged their bets and played differently”.

[16] On January 22, 2019, it was reported by Variety[17] that Michael Strahan's SMAC Entertainment and Endemol Shine North America are shopping for a revival of Money Drop in the U.S.

According to Strahan, he said that "I was in London the first time I saw 'Money Drop' and I immediately knew we had to help bring it back to the U.S." He also said that "On behalf of myself, Constance Schwartz-Morini and the rest of the team at SMAC, we're excited to take 'Money Drop' to market with the amazing team at Endemol Shine and make it SMAC's third game show next to The $100,000 Pyramid and The Joker's Wild."
