Snowmobiles. The Snowmobile challenge was the 1st one done on ice or snow, but I bet it isn't the last one.
'Apollo 13'. The movie showed a real event from the flight. To keep the crew alive, a square shaped air filter had to fit in a round air filter hole because the Command module and Lunar Module used different designs. The improvised result was odd looking, but worked. The idea of improvising machines out of junk (called bodging on the show), came from people who saw the movie, were impressed by the imagination needed to solve the problem, and built a TV show around building things from junk.
Oprah Winfrey. "Go to Oprah!" is a common chant for a goody-goody question, even though "Jenny Jones" is filmed in the same studio as "Jerry Springer."
