I also believe that the premise of the show would be classified as torture. In medieval, royalty would eat plenty of food in front of their subjects and prisoners as torture. Sure, having a number on screen representing a dollar amount is one thing, but look at the emotional moments during the show when they would lose most of the money and the physical money would drop away. It was torture. It was just made more obvious when they screwed that family.

It’s totally messed up that Marc Summers was fired for a perception. There wasn’t any evidence that he was difficult or that his condition was or would impair his ability to host; it was just a false perception. If the Hollywood Squares producers had had any sense, they would have realized, “Wait a minute…Marc has been hosting Double Dare and What Would You Do [a Nickelodeon show from the early to mid-90s, not the 20/20 segment] for years without issues, so obviously he can host just fine! There’s nothing to worry about!” Instead they made false assumptions. If anyone ever asks why people with conditions can be reluctant to reveal them, show them that segment.

The controversy came from the show, not the contestant. Prize prices were standardized, so faithful viewers would have an advantage. Bob Barker even called the concept "trusted fans and true." When asked about it afterward, Barker quipped that the show messed up with its response. Anyways, the episode was never aired, and The Price is Right denied itself at least a week of soft news free press.

Most of these aren't what I would call "scandals." Most if them are contestant or host screw-ups. It happens quite a lot where the judges rule against a contestant over a spelling error or mispronounced answer. I don't regard the "Press Your Luck" incident as a scandal, really. The guy figured out a loophole to exploit, which IMO is perfectly legit. The producers and creators of the game set the rules and it's up to them to make sure every detail is checked.

I watched a different show about bad things that happened on dating shows. And one of the worst was that one. After the person who is going to go on the date is picked. The couple get a chance to have a little time to get to know each other before they are suppose to jump in the limo and go on their date. They were the first couple so they got the longest time before the end of the show when they would have to do that weird thing about blowing a kiss to the camera and the audience. She refused to go back on stage and she refused to go on the date. During their pre date someone from the show came in as she tried getting away from him. He was holding her wrist. And the staff person came in and saved her. And they told her that they didn’t want her to go out with him and she agreed it wasn’t a good idea. Then they split the money and gave him half and her half and they snuck her out a back door and sent her home. Then when she called to say she was home they told him the date wasn’t happening and sent him home with his share of the money. Then within a few weeks to a month he was arrested for the murders. And the show and the woman realized that it was probably perfect that she didn’t go out with him because she probably would have been killed if she had.

17:02 Chuck Barris, producer and host of The 'Gong Show' was a real character. He wrote a book in 1984 (which was later made into a movie, directed by George Clooney) called 'Confessions of A Dangerous Mind' in which he claimed that working as a host and producer of The Gong Show, as well as The Newlyweds provided him cover for his real job of being a CIA assassin. (He later 'confessed' that he'd made it all up, but 'had thought that it would have been interesting if he really had both careers at the same time.'

The Marc Summer story is a despicable crime. Disney being dirty, no surprise. "You Say We Pay", the bottom of the barrel of TV. I agree with her 100%, loosing her job because she got pregnant is disgusting and should never be a reason. Ked Al Kadani, (I got the name off the subtitles), didn't cheat, he found loophole. "Our Little Genius" 🤣 That kid was in jeopardy of winning. Funny how Richards was able to give himself the job of host. Ingram, MAJOR Idiot. Again, Larsson didn't cheat, he did his homework and found a loophole, but fate was foul to him. Quiz Show is a great movie. They scored a bullseye getting Cooper. Filthy Fox robbed that couple.

Without even thinking, I knew that Post-It Notes was the correct answer. Why do you ask? I have always known that the company 3M made them and 3M made Post-It Notes for Business Office environments long before Sony brought the Walkman to the world and the Mac was released. Instead of allowing the couple to return to a canceled show, FOX should have just given them the money which was rightfully theirs.

I don't see how the Jeopardy ones was a scandal. The guy clearly put a "T" in "Wimbledon" and he deserved to lose the money and there also aren't that many t's in "Emancipation." Spelling and pronunciation count for everyone so I don't see why those 2 should be given a pass

"The Gong Show" was mentioned twice but could have made the list 3x. There was an episode where Jaye P Morgan bared her breasts by unbuttoning her blouse and pulling it open. (In other words it was on purpose.) ALSO on the "Got a nickle" skit, Jaye P Morgan gave the girls a 10 and said "That's how got started."

"No questions about this one! Someone's gettin' shaved!" Well said, Cena. I wish you could've defended your WWE title in a Hair vs. Title match against Eric Bischoff and used that very same "someone's gettin' shaved" line you said on that episode of "Manhunt", only as the Doctor of Thugganomics. I see why they called you by that nickname since you had two degrees from Brown (or Boston) University in psychology and physiology. You could easily have been an emotions therapist caring for patients who were sexually or emotionally abused by predators or child haters or worse. You go, Dr. Cena

She did an interview, and according to her, she ended up suing the production because they withheld her prize money from her. They claim it was because she lied about appearing on other game shows, she claimed it was because she got sick during the taping which cost them a lot of money and made Alex Trebek hate her. The only thing they agree on is that they withheld her pay, but for different reasons
