== Game Shows ==
* In general, most Japanese games use Japanese celebrities due to TV prize laws [[Game Show Winnings Cap|limiting civilian prizes to 2 million JPY (about US$20,000) total.]]
* ''[[Bullseye
* The Australian ''[[Deal or No Deal]]'' had this with celebrities from ''[[Dancing With the Stars]]''.
* Inverted with ''[[Definition]]'', as the teams were originally celebrity-civilian and switched to civilians-only on December 16, 1985.
* Subverted by ''[[Distraction]]'', which used former ''[[Big Brother]]'' contestants.
* ''[[Don't Forget the Lyrics]]''
* ''[[Double Dare (1986 TV Show)||Double Dare]]'' had several celebrity episodes (including one with [[Weird Al]] and [[Incredible Hulk|Lou Ferrigno]]) playing against each other. Nickelodeon mounted a pilot on July 27, 1987 for a spinoff called ''Celebrity Double Dare'' hosted by Bruce Jenner with teams of celebrities (Scott Baio and Heidi Bohay) and adult contestants, but it never got past there and said pilot never aired.
* ''[[Family Feud]]'' had several of these over its various incarnations, but of particular note is the "almost celebrity" editions which had teams of celebrity lookalikes playing each other. Oddly enough, they still had to donate their winnings to charity, even though they weren't actually celebrities.
** The British version, ''Family Fortunes'', currently only runs as a celebrity version somewhat oxymoronically titled ''All-Star Family Fortunes'', despite only two (usually) out of the ten contestants actually being stars...and even then, the "stars" are usually nothing more than average soap actors.
