Might as well throw in the guy (or couple) that beat The Price Is Right in this thread

[SharkAA]

Imo, no cheating going on, guy was lucky as hell.

[I/O]

He never cheated. And it was more than just luck. Great story.

Captivating with suspense and intrigue!

Great thread. I remember those very episodes, because I never saw any show have to extend to another day like that, and I never forgot it. Press Your Luck was the most exciting game show I've ever seen to this day. I always remembered that guy's name was Michael, but never knew the back story. Good stuff.

CBS staff probably wanted to bury themselves lol. At least they've been fair by paying that man his money.

Now this is an example when cheating goes horribly wrong:
