- Wayne Brady
On game shows, some people will take the trip to France, but most people will take the washer and dryer pair.
- Chuck Palahniuk
So you're the winner of this game show," Seth says, "and you get a choice between a five-piece living room set from Broyhill, suggested retail price three thousand dollars ora ten-day trip to the old world charm of Europe."

Jobs are a part of life. Maybe you've heard of the concept. It's called work? See, what happens is that you suffer through doing annoying and humiliating things until you get paid not enough money. Like those Japanese game shows, only without all the glory.
- Jim Butcher

- Guy Fieri
I don't do game shows.

If you were happy every day of your life you wouldn't be a human being, you'd be a game show host.
- Gabriel Heatter
Those of us who follow politics seriously rather than view it as a game show do not look at Hillary Clinton and simply think 'first woman president.' We thinkfor example'first ex-co-president' or 'first wife of a disbarred lawyer and impeached former incumbent' or 'first person to use her daughter as photo-op protection during her husband's perjury rap.
- Christopher Hitchens
When you see people who are really good at game shows, the one common attribute is a cool head under pressure: an ability to perform as well in the studio, surrounded by lights and noise, as you do on your couch.
- Ken Jennings
It's hard to imagine him angry without them. It must be like watching a game show by yourself, how calling out the answers feels silly and pointless. What is fury without witnesses? Where's the tension minus an audience to wonder what you'll do next?
- Curtis Sittenfeld
If I'm a game show host, will someone buy a ticket to see me do standup? To do a dramatic role in a movie?
- Howie Mandel

And so whether you were six with the chicken pox, nine with the flu, twelve with a broken arm, or fifteen with menstrual cramps, you could count on sixty solid minutes with the company of that old seventies set, lots of one-dollar bets, and advice to neuter your pet, all crunched into the best sick-day game show yet!
- Neil Pasricha
I'm hosting a quiz show, but I never considered myself a game show host.

- Andy Richter
I did game shows, I did interview shows, I did talk shows, I did commercials, I did acting. But all of that was a million years ago.
- Mike Wallace
Most 'reality' shows aren't reality at all. They're game shows with no prize. Like 'Rock of Love.' His aren't genuine feelings. Then again, Bob Barker didn't really care whether or not you won the toaster. Sorry to shatter everyone's dreams.
- Hal Sparks
I like to stay home and watch television. The Game Show channel, mostly.
- Harry Dean Stanton
Moral authority has been laid to rest, world opinion is no more than a game show and the difference between good and evil is about as relevant as changing channels.
- Ralph Steadman
Choose us. Choose life. Choose mortgage payments; choose washing machines; choose cars; choose sitting oan a couch watching mind-numbing and spirit-crushing game shows, stuffing fuckin junk food intae yir mooth.

As an announcer, 'The Price Is Right' is the mother of all shows not only because of its legacy, but because it is by far the most demanding game show.
- Randy West

Most producers I've known were writers first, and writing is a vital part of any game show. You could easily argue that the writing is the key ingredient that makes 'Jeopardy!' so great.
- Randy West
Because many of us have been in game shows for some time, there's always someone around who can share a story of Johnny O or Jay Stewart that I never heard.
