Quiz shows are television programs where contestants answer questions to win prizes or money. These shows often feature a host who presents the questions and interacts with the participants. Popular examples include Jeopardy! and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire?, where players must demonstrate their knowledge on various topics, from history to pop culture. Contestants usually compete against each other, and the format can vary. Some quiz shows have a fast-paced style, while others allow for more strategic thinking. Viewers enjoy watching these shows not only for the excitement of competition but also to test their own knowledge alongside the contestants.
