Game show contestants are usually noteworthy for one of two reasons.
The first frequently seen type is the contestant that has become infamous for a winning streak or amount of winnings won legitimately. See Ken Jennings (2004, Jeopardy!); or Thom McKee (1980, Tic Tac Dough).
The second general type is the contestant involved in a scandal concering the legitimacy of his or her game show winnings. See Michael Larson (1984, Press Your Luck); or Charles Ingram (2001, Who Wants to be a Millionaire?).
