I was recommended by Dino he is an editor over GSNN. My brother was on the show Who Wants to be a Millionaire when Meridith was the host, his show aired on May 18, 2011. We are desperately trying to find this video he passed last year from cancer and that is the only video we would have of him. His name is Stefan Talley and I would appreciate any help to find this video, thank you!

Welcome aBored. I'm sorry for your loss.
Do you happen to know who else appeared on that show? It's a long shot, but perhaps we (meaning the Bored) know someone who has the show because of another person's appearance. --Bob

Unfortunately, there's no one here who collects recordings of the show. You might have some luck if you're willing to try to directly contact one of the other contestants from that day.
There were three contestants, including a one-question contestant:
Julie Criner
Stefan Talley
Jamie Cassinelli
If you google Julie Criner's name along with "Kansas City", you'll get several promising hits, including a LinkedIn profile with the correct profession. Good luck!

Hey, Blaire!
I'm sorry to hear of your loss. I DO have some good news, though. I thought I might have your brother's episode on a DVD, as I was still recording the show back then, but I had no idea where it might be. I was resetting the cable box in the guest room and saw a box labelled "WWtBaM." On a whim, I looked inside and the date range was promising. I found the disc containing Stefan's episode. I have never found anything so easily and quickly in my life, especially when I was afraid it was going to be a lengthy search.
I tried to play it in my computer. It worked there, so I duplicated it. The copy worked in my PC, too, but I needed to test it on a DVD player to be sure it is "finalized." It seems to play fine in my Blu-ray player (but it is just a DVD).
Be aware that this is NOT an HD recording. I didn't have HD nor the recording capabilities for it back then. It is the complete show, however, along with 7 other episodes from that time period.

I knew I should have added an "I don't think" somewhere. Thanks for proving me wrong, Estonut! Amazing!
