On January 31, 2001, Toutant appeared on Millionaire. The first time he went on the show, he only won $1,000 because he answered the $16,000 question incorrectly. Eight months after his $1,000 win, he came back and tried for a bonus prize of $1.86 Million. He managed to get through all the questions and answered the final one right making him the ninth person in Millionaire history to win the million dollars. This is the second contestant in Millionaire history to receive the bonus money on the million dollars. Kevin Olmstead did this before with $2.18 Million.

After originally winning only $1,000 due to a bad question, he was invited back to the show on September 7th, 2001 and he would then walk away with $1,860,000, the amount he was playing for on his first run as Millionaire because at that time had an increasing bonus of $10,000 on top of the $1 million top prize for each episode there was no millionaire, as there had been a drought of top-prize winners for five months.

| Caption
| - Ed did not waste any time, and used his Ask the Audience lifeline right away, who voted 16-41-9-34, being torn between Cheese and Sausage. Therefore, he decided to call his friend and humour columnist Dan, who was very, very sure it was Cheese. He decided to go with him and won $16,000.
- The klaxon called time and Ed would return on $200 with all 3 lifelines still available.
- Ed decided to try to reason it out before using his 50:50, and arrived to Insecticide and Shaving cream. He decided to use it, and eliminated A and D. After ruling out Antiseptic, and thinking about becoming either the first person to miss the ultimate question or the last person to win more than a million dollars, he decided to go with Insecticide, and won $1,000,000, plus the $860,000 bonus he was playing with on his first run.
