Characters appear on a real or fictitious Game Show, but typically they won't win any significant amount of money. Often, two or more characters will be pitted against each other, despite the unlikelihood of two people who know each other being competitors on a real game show. If a group of people love a game show with one holdout pointing out the show's silliness, chances are the holdout will be the one who becomes a contestant and/or gets obsessed. Compare Jeopardy! Intelligence Test, where the characters reveal their knowledge or lack thereof by their reactions to watching a game show. Talk Show Appearance is this tropes talk show equivalent. Typically, using a real game show will involve the genuine set, props, and staff. |

In Miami Vice episode "Phil The Shill", Switek and Zito pretend to be sick so the former can appear on a game show called "Rat Race", which is ran by a con man named Phil Mayhew (Phil Collins). Not only does Switek lose, he's also seen on television by others at the OCB, they're both given a strong dressing down by Castillo, they're given both lousy assignments and docked pay for the deception, but Phil ultimately gets away with his crimes due to his other victims refusing to come forward. | |

1956's Wideo Wabbit has Bugs Bunny, on the run from Elmer Fudd, disguise himself as Groucho Marx to host "You Beat Your Wife"; the domestic violence gags were censored on certain television airings. The Bugs-as-Groucho voice is provided in that scene by Daws Butler instead of Mel Blanc, which proved Hilarious in Hindsight as the former later appeared as a contestant on the real show. | |

The Jetsons: They appear on a game show called "Family Fallout", facing off against the Spacelys. Mr. Spacely threatens to fire George if he takes the grand prize. George decides to trade the grand prize for the other prize, which happens to be a food-making machine they had always wanted since the old one broke down; Spacely, on the other hand, won a lifetime supply of Cogswell Cogs - the product of his arch-nemesis. (And why not? His family didn't compete, but he did donate the grand prize, and he knew that the winning family was taking what's behind the force field so it's hinted that he did a perfectly good Xanatos Gambit — regardless of who won, Cogswell would still have the publicity, but to see Spacely's face at seeing he won Cogswell products? Well, that's just icing on the cake.) George also appeared on a game show with Astro after Astro got really smart from Elroy’s concoction. George won a lot with Astro feeding him answers, only to lose it all when the stuff wore off and Astro went back to normal during the final round. |

2016: An episode of Scorpion has Sylvester competing on the show in order to get enough money to pay for a proper homage to Megan, who had passed away. The problem: his immense mathematical smarts, extensive studying of the show, and overly-eager delivery of his answers (to the point that Drew Carey barely had time to give the questions a couple of times) ends up with CBS being under the pretty understandable belief that he's cheating. The fact he asks for all the prices to be displayed at once after placing the groceries in Pay the Rent (the game played for $100,000 cash) probably had something to do with it. | |

"Khonjin House" did this in Season 1 Episode 2 where Khonjin hosts a quiz show named "Guess The Answer You Fucking Idiot." Khonjin then tells the first (and only) contestant, named Dumbass, that he has three tries to anwser the question, and, much to Khonjin's dismay, the prize for winning is burning down his house and killing his family. When Dumbass gets the question wrong, Khonjin gives Dumbass the correct answer, and Dumbass gets the question right. Khonjin then blows everything up with gasoline. | |

January 18, 1990: Cliff Clavin of Cheers appeared on the show and had enough going into Final Jeopardy! (nearly $18,000 more than his opponents combined thanks to a "dream board" for the Jeopardy! Round) to easily secure a large payday, but bet everything and got it wrong. note (For the record, this is how Cliff should've played.) Alex Trebek, who appeared as himself, refers to this on actual Jeopardy! shows as "pulling a Clavin". "Who are three people who have never been in my kitchen?" has since become a stock answer to questions that stump players. The earliest reference to this was during the May 1990 College Tournament by eventual winner Michael Thayer, who answered "Who was someone I never met?" in Final Jeopardy, to which Alex said "Michael, looks like you were watching that episode of Cheers!". Another was on June 6, 2000, by a contestant when he had the Daily Double clue of "Hedda Tesman, Helen Alving, Knut Brovik". The category was "Who Created 'Em?", which made his response even more incorrect than Clavin's a decade earlier. (Henrik Ibsen was the correct response.) On May 10, 2005, the Double Jeopardy! categories were from Cliff's "dream board". |

Given a $500,000 question on atoms, he phones Homer for help (since he works at Springfield's nuclear power plant). Lisa gives Moe the right answer, and after winning the $500,000 he decides to walk. | |

Looney Tunes: 1950's The Ducksters has Porky Pig as a contestant on "Truth or AAAAUGH!", a radio quiz (and a parody of Truth or Consequences) hosted by Daffy Duck. Daffy subjects Porky to unanswerable questions ("What was Cleopatra's aunt's maiden name?") and Impossible Task challenges (guessing an opera from one note), as well as a set of very painful "penalties" (naming every U.S. state before firecrackers in his mouth and ears go off) and a number of ludicrous booby prizes ("And the gentleman wins the Rock of Gibraltar!"). Porky eventually uses the prize money to buy the station and turn the tables on Daffy. 1956's Wideo Wabbit has Bugs Bunny, on the run from Elmer Fudd, disguise himself as Groucho Marx to host "You Beat Your Wife"; the domestic violence gags were censored on certain television airings. The Bugs-as-Groucho voice is provided in that scene by Daws Butler instead of Mel Blanc, which proved Hilarious in Hindsight as the former later appeared as a contestant on the real show. 1959's People Are Bunny had Daffy appearing on "People Are Phony" (a send-up of People Are Funny), with a cartoon version of Art Linkletter. Naturally, Daffy loses while Bugs cleans up locked in a phone booth. |

On The Parkers, Nikki and her family go on "Family Secrets". The host of the fake show was played by George Gray, who went on to host the syndicated version of The Weakest Link and announce for The Price Is Right. The game consists of answering embarrassing questions about family members, but remains pretty harmless and funny until the final round when the host asks Nikki the million-dollar question "Who is your real mother?" Before Nikki could answer, her favorite aunt reveals that she's Nikki's real mother. | |

Happened a couple of times in Married... with Children: Al and Peggy once competed in a show for newlyweds (posing as Steve and Marcy) called "How Do I Love Thee?", where they had to torture each other for the prizes; needless to say, it wasn't hard for them. They ended up winning a car... which disappeared before the next episode. In the episode "Kelly Knows Something", Al auditions to be on the sports trivia game "Touchdown Trivia". Though he knew pretty much everything, the producers rejected him for being unsympathetic. He ended up training Kelly, with surprisingly good results. In another episode, Bud goes on "You Can't Miss!" (a Dating Game expy with the host played by Bill Maher) as a potential suitor... and wins. |

In Rebecca Stead's Young Adult novel When You Reach Me, Miranda's mother is a contestant on $20,000 in April 1979. Much of the book is about her practicing for the show. They also show her as a contestant describing the studio and Dick Clark. This is actually a side issue for Miranda, but it becomes very important in Miranda finally solving the mystery of the notes. | |

August 8, 1999: Kenan & Kel go on "The Honeymoon's Over" (a Newlywed Expy with a very similar set, Eubanks hosting, and a grand prize of a house) as Kenan and Kelly, who had been instructed to answer with girly answers. When the final, tiebreaker question was "What is Kelly's favorite soft drink?", Kenan ecstatically ran around the studio celebrating his win with the answer "orange soda"...only to find out that Kel had answered "root beer", which he thought was more girly. The fact the grand prize is a house may be a reference to the Eubanks-hosted revival of Dream House, which aired in 1983-84. |

Barney wins a fishing pole in the bidding game, and the bonus attached to it was a houseboat (very accurately mimicking how Price would do things, such as a 69-cent lightbulb having a bonus of dozens of appliances in salute to Thomas Edison). | |

In the Disney Ducks Comic Universe story "The Crazy Quiz Show" (by Carl Barks), Donald Duck (having gone through an intense book study in preparation), Huey, Dewey and Louie become contestants on a radio quiz show named "You Say — We Pay". The quiz itself is a massive Refuge in Audacity, giving the nephews questions that take little to no effort to answer correctly, while giving Donald ridiculously impossible questions just because he looks like a professional prize-grabber. They also prevent Donald from coaching the nephews into choosing money over bicycles. Donald answers the last question successfully, but the mental effort taken to answer the question ("How many drops of water pass over Niagara Falls in a week?") was so exhaustive that Donald ends up choosing a trike instead of a barrel of money. | |

However, he ends up throwing the final riddle to his opponent (a long-running champion of the show) after fearing that he might end up being stuck on the show as champion for the rest of his life (cue the Imagine Spot with an elderly Arthur still on the show), and potentially not being able to be with his friends anymore. Said show is hosted by one "Alex Lebek", who, by the way, is voiced by Alex Trebek. | |

Victorious: Sinjin is hosting a game show called "Queries for Couples", which he created as a pilot for a potential web series. It was similar to The Newlywed Game with couples answering questions in a way they think the other person would. Another episode had the cast going on a game show called "Brain Squeezers" that involved answering trivia questions. Anyone who couldn't give a correct answer would be "Doinked" as punishment, which involved dropping heavy appliances on their head, punching them in the face with a boxing glove, squirting them with goo, etc. |

An episode of Pinky and the Brain (originally aired on Animaniacs, then on January 9, 2000 as a stand-alone with another short) had the Brain go on "Gyp-parody", sweep the board, then bet it all on the final clue — and lose because he hadn't paid attention to Pinky's comments earlier in the episode. (The episode is a Shout-Out to a classic episode of The Honeymooners when Ralph goes on a music trivia show and can't recognize "Swanee River" despite Ed constantly playing it as a tune up.) Another Jeopardy spoof appeared in the Tiny Toon Adventures episode "K-ACME TV", also titled "Gyp-parody". Buster hosts this, and his tolerance is tested against the contestants - Dizzy Devil was only interested in eating his podium, Calamity Coyote's buzzer was broken, and Elmyra could only answer "A bunny." When the final question asked what animal was commonly associated with Easter, she answers "George Washington" (which was the answer to the first question), causing Buster to finally snap. |

In a popular episode of The Honeymooners, Ralph competes on "The $99,000 Answer", a $64,000 Question Expy hosted by "Herb Morris" (Jay Jackson) where a contestant must answer a series of questions in a category of their choosing in order to win the titular prize. note ($100—$600—$?—$6,187.50—$12,375—$24,750—$49,500—$99,000; the third hurdle isn't mentioned, hence the question mark. It would probably be $1,200 or $3,093.75, but in either case that's quite a jump.) After stage fright and stuttering badly while choosing his category (Popular Music), Ralph gets a full week to study and doesn't slack around — he grabs Ed Norton and studies like hell, to the point where he can name virtually any song no matter what part of it gets played. Ralph returns to the show a knowledgeable man, confident that he can tackle any and every song Morris may ask him to identify; naturally, the $100 song is the only one he doesn't know, and furthermore it's "Swanee River", the song that Norton always played the first few bars of "to warm up" while he was helping Ralph memorize songs. | |

The Flintstones: Barney Rubble became Fred Flintstone's proxy on "The Prize Is Priced" in the episode "Divided We Sail". Barney wins a fishing pole in the bidding game, and the bonus attached to it was a houseboat (very accurately mimicking how Price would do things, such as a 69-cent lightbulb having a bonus of dozens of appliances in salute to Thomas Edison). One of Barney's fellow contestants briefly mentions a rival prehistoric game show, "Beat the Sundial". In the TV special The Flintstones Meet Rockula and Frankenstone, the Flintstones and Rubbles appear on the game show "Make a Deal or Don't", which resembles Let's Make a Deal. |

30 Rock had two: In "The Head and the Hair", a subplot involves Kenneth producing a new game show for NBC called Gold Case, hosted by John McEnroe. It was an expy of Deal or No Deal whose top prize was $1,000,000 worth of gold. There was just one major design flaw: because there were actual gold bars inside the winning briefcase, the model was struggling to carry it due to its weight, and they didn't bother to weigh down all the other cases the same way — leading to too many winners, and a quick cancellation. A Cutaway Gag in "The Beginning of the End" features a game show called Homonym (one of several intentionally bad shows Jack had greenlit for NBC as part of his plot to "tank" the network, except they're all successful instead) where a contestant struggles to give the correct definitions for the words given by the host because the word is actually "the other one." A later episode featured a Freeze-Frame Bonus with an ad for Homonym which shows that it airs weeknights, 8:00 to midnight, while later episodes featured Celebrity Homonym and an Iranian version. |

An episode of Monk involved Trudy's father getting Adrian to work out how someone is cheating on his game show "Treasure Chest", and turns out to involve a murder. Adrian did figure out how the cheating was going on, but he had to get to the bonus round to expose those involved, so he started using the clues meant for the cheating contestant first. The questions were multiple-choice and the answer was revealed by which corner of the card the host (who was in on the cheat) was holding. This resulted in Adrian and the cheating contestant racing to hit the buzzer as soon as the host (played by John Michael Higgins) picked up the card to ask the question, with the third player forced to watch in horror. | |

On The Brady Bunch, Bobby and Cindy get a shot at appearing on the children's game "Quiz the Kids", but an overconfident Bobby doesn't make it past the entrance test after failing to study for it. Cindy rubs his nose in this and alienates the rest of the family with her egotism, then suffers her comeuppance when she gets on the show and can't answer any questions due to camera fright. Both kids thus learn valuable lessons about preparation and humility, respectively. | |

They win, but since Shuichi asked to forfeit the ¥1,000,000 prize for a song live on TV if they won, what they get is an impromptu concert with a TV audience. This gives them a huge boost in popularity that benefits them more in the long term than if they had just gone with the original monetary prize. | |

Since January 18, 2011: An occasional segment on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon, and later The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, is a game of Password hosted by Steve Higgins on a really accurate rendition of the later 1960s set; typically played with the night's celebrity guests, the rules are slightly downgraded (word values begin at six points, with no Lightning Round; most points after a set number of words wins). They also have an offstage announcer whispering each password, a shot of the audience clapping as the logo appears, and even a rendition of the later CBS-era theme! On top of all this, the very first game had Password stalwart Betty White as a guest, who went on to prove that she was still very good at this game. The popularity of these segments led to NBC reviving Password in 2022 with Keke Palmer as host and Fallon as executive producer and regular celebrity guest. | |

October 23, 1976: A memorable Saturday Night Live sketch was Jeopardy! 1999, complete with clues like "Comedian whose career fizzled after leaving NBC's Saturday Night" (which was lampshaded with none of the players even ringing in, including the one played by Chevy Chase). The game board and wager cards were eerily accurate to the end of the original series (complete with bad punctuation and shortened wording to fit on the former's pull-cards), giving the impression that they had been sitting around at NBC's 30 Rock studios in New York for over a year... and the sketch even used the actual board reveal sound and think music! note (As for being prophetic, pretty much the only things they got right were Don Pardo still being around and Chase not having much of a career. The latter eventually bounced back in the late 2000s, and it wasn't until 2005 that a Jeopardy! player accumulated over $3,000,000.) | |

1950's The Ducksters has Porky Pig as a contestant on "Truth or AAAAUGH!", a radio quiz (and a parody of Truth or Consequences) hosted by Daffy Duck. Daffy subjects Porky to unanswerable questions ("What was Cleopatra's aunt's maiden name?") and Impossible Task challenges (guessing an opera from one note), as well as a set of very painful "penalties" (naming every U.S. state before firecrackers in his mouth and ears go off) and a number of ludicrous booby prizes ("And the gentleman wins the Rock of Gibraltar!"). Porky eventually uses the prize money to buy the station and turn the tables on Daffy. | |

The cast of Tiny Toon Adventures appeared on two different mock game shows — one was "Win, Lose, or Kerplooey" and the other, "That's Incredibly Stupid!" Also, Max and Elmyra competed against each other in a version of Hollywood Squares. Max was that story's Butt-Monkey. |

June 11, 2005: The Doctor Who episode "Bad Wolf" had Rose Tyler ending up on a future version of the show, hosted by the "Anne-Droid" (Anne Robinson). And the losers die. Amusingly, the Anne-Droid reappeared for a 2007 special of the actual show with Who cast members (and K-9) playing for charity. The elimination of K-9 after the first round was intentional, due to concerns of the prop's structural integrity (being the same one used in the Classic Series and all). |

With the category "People Who Annoy You", the puzzle board reading N_GGERS, and $30,000 on the line, Randy ends up embarrassing himself on national television (and kicking off the plot) by blurting out a certain racial epithet instead of the right answer (NAGGERS)... although in his defense, he was very reluctant to say it. | |

He gets the job and is ready to leave the newsroom when Lou convinces him that he's better being a "NEWSMAN" than a "Quiiiiiiiiiiizmaaaaaaaaaaster" (as Lou pronounces both). In addition, Dian Parkinson plays the Lovely Assistant of the Show Within a Show. | |

April 30, 2007: In How I Met Your Mother, Barney Stinson went on the show intentionally to meet his "father", Barker. (As he explained, his mother told him that Bob was his father — and Bob got the ladies all the time just as Barney did.) Barney ends up winning everything he bids on, including both Showcases (through a perfect bid, no less). This Price segment was taped after a real episode of the show with audience members held over from that episode's taping. Barney's $500 bonus and Bonus Spin were not shown, although according to reports the former did happen in the studio. | |

On the I Love Lucy episode "Lucy Gets Ricky on the Radio", Lucy and Ricky were slated to appear on the radio game "Mr. & Mrs. Quiz" with a top prize of $500. Lucy happened to find the answers before going on-air and memorized them, but the questions were changed at the last minute, making her answers quite wrong. By the end, when they were asked the bonus question ("What did George Washington say while crossing the Delaware?"), Ricky was exasperated and wanted to leave, begging Lucy "Please, let me sit down, I'm tired" — which, of course, was the right answer. |

In the final follow-up trilogy of Only Fools and Horses, Del goes on "Goldrush", a fictional BBC game hosted by Jonathan Ross in which the top prize is £100,000 and there are three Lifelines. It was an obvious Fictional Counterpart of Who Wants To Be A Millionaire?, created because ITV refused to let the BBC use the actual show — probably because a plot point was that an answer given as being wrong on the show turned out to be right. | |

Dexter's Laboratory: Dexter and Dee Dee entered a game show (the notion of the two contestants not being complete strangers is explained by the show being about Sibling Rivalry). Whoever wins can pick either a winged horse or a N.A.S.A. style telescope. Dee Dee is a long time fan of the episode but Dexter never watched it before and only entered for the telescope. Dexter thought it'd be easy for him: answer questions. However, there was a series of physical challenges before. It gave Dee Dee a 30 - 0 advantage. When it was time for the questions, the live-in audience left the place. The host stated whoever answered most questions correctly would win 30 points. Once he said the questions would be about science and technology, Dexter quickly handed him a piece of paper containing answers to everything that could be asked about the topic. Dexter not only got the 30 points (tying the score with Dee Dee) but also a booby prize that's known as "nerd prize" and given to anyone who answers all questions correctly. The tie-breaker was based on how well the contestants knew about each other. Dee Dee won and chose the telescope, so she could spy on Dexter from her own room. | |
