The Dallas native attended Oklahoma City University on a soccer scholarship, which segued into his television career where he began by covering local sports and later horse racing for the TVG network. Harrison had married his college girlfriend, with whom he has two children with.
In May 2012, Harrison and his wife announced their divorce after 18 years of marriage. Harris was quoted in an interview with US magazine, saying that the two still remained close friends.

Who Wants To Be A Millionaire - Las Vegas Background
Despite the odds of winning the million dollars is now extremely remote, the WWTBAM TV show is still a great deal of fun to see and be a contestant on. The warm-up team gets the crowd going and soft drinks and snacks are supplied that keep the audience and contestants invigorated and energized. The show used to be shot in Stamford, Connecticut - so it was less-than-ideal for New Yorkers, but now it is even more difficult due to the show relocating to Las Vegas. The producers decided to move for Season 15, because Las Vegas is a larger area with more people. You can get a 10% off discount at the following hotels if you are going to be an audience member: Ballys, Harrah's, Caesars Palace, Paris.
The show has seen a variety of taping locations and hosts. Who Wants To Be A Millionaire now tapes five times more shows than it did when it was a weekly network TV show back in its heyday, but Millionaire hasn't actually given out a million dollars since 2009. Even prior to this current drought, there was a previous six year drought, between 2003 and 2009, with no one walking off the set with the million dollar check. By all counts, there is a lopsided list of winners with nine of the last twelve million dollar winners that were all in the original network show, which was prior to 2001, back when Regis Philbin was the host
The show is a game show format where contestants answer general knowledge questions with an ever increasing prize format, similar to the $64,000 Question TV show format from the 1950's. In 2010 the show changed its question format from 15 questions of ascending difficulty to 14 questions of random difficulty.
The show also features some interesting lifelines when the contestant is stumped on a particular question with options such as "Phone a Friend", "50/50" and "Ask the audience." To get to the million dollars, contestants must answer fifteen multiple choice questions. The show was switched from Network Television to a syndicated cable TV show in 2002. Who Wants To Be a Millionaire was originally located in New York City but the popular game show moved its production to Last Vegas, Nevada for its 15th season.
Who Wants To Be A Millionaire previously taped at two other locations including the Metropolis Studios at 105 East 106th Street and The ABC Television Center - East Coast on West 67th Street, both in New York City. WWTBAM then moved from CT to Las Vegas at the Caesars Entertainment Studios in 2016.
