💨 Abstract

The $64,000 Question, an American game show from the 1950s, was investigated for rigging due to contestants being given answers in advance. This led to a widespread probe into other game shows, causing a major shift in the industry's ethics. The scandal prompted Congress to amend the Communications Act of 1934, prohibiting networks from prearranging quiz show outcomes.
