I also think its possible there are better but that this is definitely the first thing that came to mind. So it might just be this.

I mean, this is objectively the correct answer. There have been documentaries on it. There was a scrapped Hollywood film based on it.

It's probably the Press Your Luck guy. But I always remembered this one. They suspected the guy of cheating so when he got the Showcase Showdown exactly right on Price is Right, Drew didn't get excited or anything. It's such an odd clip.

I think of the early Millionaire winners. First reply has one. I know there was another early winner who I remember a little more vividly, but I'm not looking it up.

Susan Boyle's another good answer if that sort of show counts. I personally don't consider those game shows since they're more akin to reality TV.

That September clip is hilarious, but man, dude could not keep his composure at all. Was that the first show or something?

The first WWTBAM winner is probably objectively one of the most iconic. Or Van Doren cheating on 21 back in the 50's, if that counts as a "moment"

to add that somewhat piggy backs off of michael larson (although what he did was perfectly legitimate and this wasn't), the show 21 from the 1950s being corrupted caused a large chunk of changing to the industry as a whole for the future. The movie quiz show was obviously inspired by it as well. Particularly this episode:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CVnGLks--oA

The best decade for game shows was definitely the 70s though, so maybe something from that
