Game Show Contestants Who Share Names With Celebrities

(1/4) > >>

jlgarfield:
Here's a fun Q: How many contestants on game shows had the same name(s) as celebrities? I swear that I've seen a few examples. :)

Ian Wallis:
If memory serves, there was a contestant named Betty White on Match Game 7x one time when Betty was actually on the panel.

Kevin Prather:
"The Name's The Same" was more or less built around this concept.

Meredith's "Millionaire" had a week dedicated to contestants with famous names.

Jeopardy had a player named Lara Croft, an aquatic veterinarian for SeaWorld who had previously appeared in a SeaWorld commercial.

BrandonFG:
When I was a kid, I remember seeing a lady on J! named Nancy Walker and being confused by the concept of a contestant having the same name as a famous actress.

MikeK:
On an episode of Balderdash, the contestants' first names were Regan and Byrnes.  Among the celebrities that week was Regan Burns.
