The Most Outrageous Game Show Moments (2/3/4/5) was a series of five specials showcasing outtakes and funny moments from television game shows. Bob Eubanks hosted all five, with Jim Lange, Wink Martindale, Peter Marshall, and Ben Stein co-hosting the first and Chuck Woolery co-hosting the last two.
Premise[]
This inspired a number of spin-offs, including the two Most Outrageous Live TV Moments specials and the permanent series Most Outrageous Moments (originally Most Outrageous TV Moments), with John Cramer narrating both instead of having a host.
