Am I remembering correctly? If so, what's the official name of our favorite show now?
The same vague memory says that one such change precipitated the removal of the question mark at the end of the show title. That was apparently sufficient to constitute a name change.
From the Home Office, where we sit around all day thinking this crap up...heeeeere we go...

Meredith unilaterally changed the name of the show as soon as she took over. To the best of my knowledge, she has never called it "Who Wants To Be A Millionaire." She may have said the full title once or twice in five years, but she generally calls it "Millionaire," or "The Millionaire Show." She has also (almost?) never said "Is that your final answer?" She mostly just says "Final?" I guess that leaves more time for her to chat.

I don't think it's true that they have to change the name... Didn't "Card Sharks" change their format a few times over the decades but they always kept the same name. The only thing they could change it to and not annoy the fans would be "Millionaire" because as TheConfessor mentioned Meredith refuses to call it "Who Wants to be A Millionaire"

(AD, stop tickling me! I mean it. You could scratch my back, though.)
