Panel games are a type of television or radio show where a group of contestants, often called panelists, engage in discussions, answer questions, or participate in games. These shows typically feature a host who guides the conversation and presents challenges to the panelists. The format encourages humor and interaction, making it entertaining for the audience. Common examples of panel games include Whose Line Is It Anyway? and The Chase. These programs often involve quizzes, improvisation, or guessing games, allowing panelists to showcase their wit and knowledge. The competitive element adds excitement, as panelists aim to score points or win prizes.
