Awesome Game Shows

’80s kids might remember the game show Press Your Luck. You know… Big Bucks! No Whammies! The Luckiest Man in America retells the bonkers true story of a man who took home huge piles of money by figuring out the game’s fatal flaw. The IFC film stars Paul Walter Hauser, Walton Goggins, David Strathairn, and Maisie Williams. In theaters 4.4.25.

Game show fans will love this mini version of the Showcase Showdown wheel from The Price Is Right. A&M 3D Prints and More lovingly crafts this accurate replica of the iconic set piece. The set includes a spinning wheel, base, arrow, and four walls, while the “lite” version is just the wheel with a small base. Serious TPIR fans will want all the games.

The cast of the comedy game show Game Changer was challenged to improvise an entire musical and came up with this bit of comedic genius – a hilarious opening song about a really weird town on the eastern seaboard. Watch the full episode on Dropout or stream the entire soundtrack.

This high-intensity reality competition show from Japan pits celebrity contestants against an army of hunters attempting to catch them on foot. The longer they evade their captors, the bigger the cash prize, but get caught and lose it all. Coming to Netflix 11.15.2022.

You might think that Japanese game shows and freestyle skiing have nothing to do with each other, but you’d be wrong. In this entertaining clip from Red Bull Snow, Swedish freeskier Jesper Tjäder lives out his childhood dream of participating in one of these famously madcap game shows, while showing off his personal talents.

(PG-13: Language) Funny or Die assembled a panel of celebrities to participate in a tic-tac-toe style gameshow with none other than Triumph the Insult Comic Dog as host, and sound effects artist Michael Winslow on announcer duties. Naturally, the politically-incorrect jokes and insults fly fast and furious.

Spicy food interview show Hot Ones is spinning off with a game show. Host Sean Evans will ask contestants to answer trivia questions as they eat progressively hotter and hotter wings. Each episode, one smart and iron-stomached winner will take home $25,000. Premieres on truTV on 2/18/20.

Fans of daytime game shows will immediately recognize the background of Dragon Vision’s playful wall clock. Inspired by Wheel of Fortune, the 8″ acrylic and printed vinyl clock features prize denominations instead of hours on its dial. Just be sure to avoid 12:30 and 5:30.

Jeopardy! has long been the smartest game show on TV, and unlike shows that give players some latitude with their answers, you have to be pretty spot on to be right on this one. Super Deluxe compiled this fun reel of longtime host Alex Trebek calling contestants out.

A wonderfully weird 1983 episode of Family Feud in which the reunited cast members of Gilligan’s Island took on the reunited cast of Batman for charity. Is it just us, or did all the actors on Gilligan’s Island just play themselves?

The final portion of the game show Golden Balls is Split or Steal, a test of wit and morals similar to the Prisoner’s Dilemma. So how do you reduce the risk of deception? Faith in your fellow man’s goodness? Not exactly.

If you ever needed confirmation that only the greatest of minds battle it out on Jeopardy! every day, contestant Babu Srinivasan’s enlightening explanation of why the internet was created should do the trick.

While she’s not nearly as terrible as the Wheel of Fortune dude, this girl’s answers and reaction time during Family Feud’s Fast Money round resulted in the same outcome. We bet her belly was throwing up after the show. Skip to 2:15.

Julian Batts is an honor student at Indiana University and from the looks of it, an extremely lucky guy. He really sucks at Wheel of Fortune though. Watch him go on a roll, only to defeat himself on what should be no-brainer guesses.

Contestants on The Price is Right usually just walk, run or even roll – down the stairs to take their spot on contestants’ row. Not so with overachiever Premal Shah, who crowdsurfed his way to the stage.

TPIR contestant Mary can’t make up her mind how much to bid on her showcase, making for the longest, most painfully drawn-out moment in show history. Drew Carey has the patience of a saint.
