TFI Friday
From Biocrawler, the free encyclopedia.
TFI Friday was a light entertainment show hosted by Chris Evans and broadcast on Friday nights on Channel Four from 1996 to 2000. Officially, the title stood for "Thank Four It's Friday", though a less innocuous interpretation of the initials was clearly implied.
During November and December 1999, the show included a segment titled "Someone's Going To Be A Millionaire!", inspired by the ITV game show Who Wants To Be A Millionaire? (which would not have its first million pound winner until November 2000). TFI Friday paid out the promised £1 million jackpot on Christmas Eve, 1999, becoming the first British TV show to do so.
