In Japan, the appearance of popular figures on game shows is relatively common, adding an element of excitement and fanfare to the program. Successful participants are often praised for their intellect and affability, and it becomes an important part of their public image. The audience connects with these figures on a personal level, discussing their achievements in the games.

In the US and EU, celebrities participating in game shows is also a common theme, though the focus may often be more on the entertainment value rather than a serious display of intellect.
