Question
#50759. NathaNsc
asks:
Do any officials check the legitimacy of game shows? I've always wondered if Jeopardy can give the Daily Doubles to players of their choice or if they had to submit the info prior to the show.

The American quiz show scandals of the 1950s were the result of the revelation that contestants of several popular television quiz shows were secretly given assistance by the producers to arrange the outcome of a supposed competition.
The impact of this scandal led to a specific federal law prohibiting fixing quiz shows. In addition, the major television networks took a greater hand in creative production to avoid similar problems in the future.

But it sure looks like Ken Jennings is cheating. Someone is looking over his shoulder, I hope?

And that's not considered cheating?
It is where I come from.

True, but the show is cheating.
Do they take vote for who their favorite player is?
