Getting the opportunity to duke it out in a battle of wits and luck on live television for the chance of winning stacks of cash or luxurious prize packages sounds pretty amazing right? Not to mention, you get to meet one of the TVs legendary game show hosts, and how exciting would that be?
We grew up watching the likes of Alex Trebek on Jeopardy and Pat Sajak on Wheel Of Fortune – and maybe they seem like perfectly pleasant professionals with nothing to hide, but nobody featured in this video has a perfect track record. That being said, some hosts have definitely overstepped their bounds more than others.
Well, we here at Facts Verse got out our trusty magnifying glasses and did a little sleuthy detective work to dig up some dirt on some of television’s most recognizable personalities and turns out, they aren’t nearly as innocent as you think they are.

Sometimes they innocently have flubbed up their lines and other times they have abused their position of authority to push themselves upon their guests in ways that would be strongly condemned today. We’re going to take a look back in time at some of the most shocking over-stepping of boundaries that have ever happened on TV game shows. None of your favorite game show hosts are immune to their own share of pervy creepiness either.
