Slumdog Millionaire, this year's winner for Best Picture at the Oscars, begins with a contestant being tortured because the police don't think that a poor tea server from the slums of Mumbai could know all the answers to the questions on India's version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire? After the protagonist explains each question with a detailed story from his life, the police release him, and he is allowed to return to the game show to try to win 20 million rupees.
　　The unlikely success of this film has brought an even bigger spotlight on game shows around the world. In America, game shows have been around since the first day of the commercial era of TV. Over the years, many game shows have made contestants jump for joy as well as bow their head in shame. The longest running game show in America is The Price Is Right, which was hosted most of its 37 seasons by Bob Barker. On the show, contestants are randomly selected to guess the correct prices of everyday objects. Other notable US game shows are Jeopardy, where the contestant gets the answer and they have to figure out the question, and Wheel of Fortune, a variation of the game hangman (猜字遊戲).
　　In Taiwan, two popular game shows are Challenge 101 and Are You Smarter than a Primary School Student? Watching a game show is an entertaining way to spend an evening with your family because everyone can yell out answers and dream of becoming a millionaire.

奪得本屆奧斯卡金像獎最佳影片的《貧民百萬富翁》，是以一位參賽者被警方拷問揭開序幕，因為他們認為一個來自孟買貧民窟的窮酸茶水小弟，是不可能知道印度版《百萬大富翁》裡所有題目的答案。經過主角娓娓道來，解釋每道題目背後的自我人生故事，警方終於將他釋放，於是他又可以回到這個益智節目中一試身手，看看能不能贏得兩千萬盧比的獎金。
　　
這部片出乎意料之外地賣座，連帶使世界各地的益智節目備受矚目。在美國，自電視進入商業廣告年代的第一天起，就有了益智節目。過去這些年，許多益智節目讓參賽者高興地跳起來，或是羞愧地低下頭去。《叫對價》是美國最長壽的益智節目，該節目一共播出 37 季，大部分都是由鮑勃‧巴克所主持。該節目會隨機挑選參賽者，要他們猜出日用品的實際價格。美國其他著名的益智節目有《危險境地》和《幸運轉輪》，前者的參賽者會先拿到答案，而他們必須想出它的題目，而後者說穿了則是另一種形式的猜字遊戲。
　　
台灣有兩個很受歡迎的益智節目，分別是《挑戰 101》和《百萬小學堂》。收看益智節目是晚上和家人一起消磨時間的娛樂方式，因為每個人都可以大聲喊出答案，同時夢想自己成為百萬富翁。
