Line 11:
'''Note To Producers:''' If your game is typically played by civilians, do ''not'' switch to "All celebrities, all the time!" It doesn't matter if you're a veteran or a newbie, because your show ''will'' die within a year...at most. To be more blunt, '''''it has never worked.'''''

== 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.]]
Line 20:
* Subverted by ''[[Distraction]]'', which used former ''[[Big Brother]]'' contestants.
* ''[[Don't Forget the Lyrics]]''
* ''[[Double Dare (1986 TV Show)
* ''[[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.
