This attribute controls the content of the description and og:description elements. | Way back in the earlier days of television in The Fifties, a man named Herb Stempel competed on the Game Show 21. After it was discovered that he intentionally lost to Charles van Doren upon instruction by producer Dan Enright, the entire game show industry was nearly brought down. Although the genre regained popularity in the 1960s and 1970s, many shows from that point onward had to endure a series of standards and practices to prove that they were on the up-and-up. Among these limitations was the Game Show Winnings Cap, which is Exactly What It Says on the Tin: a limit to the amount of money that a game show contestant can win and/or how long he or she can stay as returning champion. |
