This simple reverse-quiz formula resulted in one of the most successful game shows in TV history. Answer - “Legend has it that game show host and TV personality Merv Griffin created this reverse quiz show after complaining about the poor quality of game shows since the Quiz Show Scandals; his then-wife suggested giving the players the answers and having them come up with the questions.” Question - “What's the story behind the birth of Jeopardy!?”
