*** Because people will do the most jackasstic things possible to gain fame and fortune. Trust me. This is not even close to limited to national television.<ref> The page for the TV show ''[[
*** The best case for this is probably the British game show ''Beat the Crusher'', where you have to surrender possessions on the way in and your prize is ... getting them back.

To be fair to all of them, they had prizes as well as just not seeing your possessions destroyed - In the case of ''Crusher'', the prize was a new car, with your car at risk of being destroyed. However, the rules to some of the games on ''Crusher'' were absolutely what the above Troper noted, and the host would randomly destroy people's possessions for the fun of it as well.
