The "Quiz Show Scandal" refers to a series of controversies in the 1950s involving popular television game shows in the United States. It was revealed that producers were manipulating the outcomes of these shows, providing contestants with answers or coaching them to ensure higher ratings and viewer engagement. This deception led to public outrage and a loss of trust in television programming. As a result of the scandal, significant changes were made to the regulations governing television game shows. The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) implemented stricter rules to ensure fairness and transparency, aiming to restore public confidence in the integrity of televised competitions.
