00:00You've got no respect.
00:01No respect?
00:02Now get out.
00:13How old are you?
00:14I am 25 years old, Mr. Cowell.
00:16Alright, and why are you here then?
00:19To try out for American Idol.
00:26Which one are we going to hear today?
00:28The Legend of the Lucky Pig of Amelia Earhart.
00:58More or less.
00:59The host, Kirk Fogg, basically admitted it for Great Big Story.
01:11Ah, and these budgets that get in the way with the fun.
01:14Number 19.
01:15The contestants know the route beforehand.
01:18Survival.
01:19You'll climb over, crawl under, maneuver around those obstacles as you make your way to the finish.
01:50They go through the challenge with the players and explain each section in detail.
01:53They even allow the tribes to create their own strategies.
01:56Of course, they don't record that part.
02:03Number 18.
02:04Susan dies suddenly.
02:05Seinfeld.
02:12May 16, 1996 was a weird day for Seinfeld fans.
02:17It was when Susan, George's fiancée, suddenly died after licking several toxic objects.
02:22Seriously, she gets sick and dies in a matter of seconds.
02:25The strange and abrupt ending of the long argument was controversial,
02:29and some speculated that it was not entirely a creative decision.
02:33This was confirmed when Jason Alexander appeared on The Howard Stern Show
02:37and said that it was difficult to work with actress Heidi Swetberg.
02:41He revealed that many members of the cast had problems living with her,
02:47and Louise Dreyfuss made a comment about killing Susan.
02:50Larry David loved the idea and the rest is history.
02:57Number 17.
02:58John Amos disappears without further ado.
03:00Good Times.
03:12Killing your protagonist in a letter is a bold decision,
03:15and that's what the Good Times fans, as well as the Evans family,
03:18found out that James had died in a car accident.
03:21An anticlimactic farewell.
03:24Naturally, this led some fans to speculate that there was a cat locked behind the scenes.
03:28Officially, it was said that Amos had gone to dedicate himself to the cinema,
03:32but the viewers did not believe it.
03:35It was he who revealed the truth,
03:37and said that he had been fired for his constant discussions with the producers
03:40and for openly criticizing the direction of the program.
03:43He hated the growing emphasis on J.J.'s comic adventures,
03:46which in his opinion ruined the realistic tone of the series.
03:56Number 16.
03:57The Ingram Incident.
04:08The officer of the British army, Charles Ingram,
04:12was the third contestant to win the greatest prize in the British version of Who Wants to be a Millionaire?
04:17During his participation, he had problems with many of the questions,
04:20but then he seemed to make a series of unlikely correct conjectures,
04:24which made the producers suspect that something was wrong.
04:27So much so that they refused to give him the money and started an official investigation.
04:32Upon investigating the recordings, they discovered that someone coughed when he said the correct answer.
04:37Sometimes it came from a contestant who was waiting,
04:40and others from Ingram's wife, who was among the public.
04:43The three were officially accused and received suspended fines and sentences.
04:54Number 15.
04:55Much of the show is planned in advance.
05:03As viewers suspected for a long time,
05:05Pond Stars has a lot of tricks up its sleeve.
05:09People don't just walk into a crowded store,
05:12sell a King Arthur sword that they had around and end up being rich.
05:16The show is not precisely scripted,
05:18and many of the objects and sellers are authentic.
05:21But they don't just walk in like that,
05:23but the producers investigate them in advance
05:25and the guests enter the store to record the planned segments in advance with background extras.
05:30This process usually requires several takes,
05:32and they often teach them how to behave in front of the camera.
05:35The executive producer, Brent Montgomery,
05:37also told the members of the cast to buy items
05:40that otherwise they could not acquire
05:42in order to have good material for television.
05:51Number 14.
05:52The departure of Patrick Dempsey, Grey's Anatomy.
06:00This medical drama was what made Patrick Dempsey a star.
06:03It was strange that he suddenly left in April 2015.
06:06He claimed he wanted to spend more time with his family,
06:08but some fans thought there were hidden reasons.
06:11In 2021 they realized he was right,
06:14when the book How to Save a Life was published.
06:16Although it is true that he left due to schedule problems,
06:19that was not the whole story.
06:21The authors of the book reveal that he became a nightmare
06:24that often terrified the set
06:26and ended up bringing up human resources problems.
06:28They also claim that some members of the cast
06:31suffered all kinds of post-traumatic stress disorder with him.
06:34The details are not clear,
06:36but his behavior caused his quick departure from the series.
06:44Number 13.
06:45The shopping is already done.
06:46House Hunters.
06:53In this popular program,
06:55a couple visits several houses, usually three.
06:58Choose one to buy,
07:00but as many suspect for a long time,
07:02there is not much hunting.
07:04For years, people have appeared
07:06who were on the program,
07:08who claim they had already bought their house before.
07:10The producers make them visit their newly acquired property,
07:13along with two other houses at random
07:15that they do not intend to buy.
07:17These are usually volunteers,
07:19Airbnb buyers,
07:21and even places that belong to friends
07:23of the department and the team.
07:25After visiting the three,
07:27the couple chooses theirs
07:30Number 12.
07:31Jeffrey DeMond was loyal to Frank Darabont,
07:33from The Walking Dead.
07:47It is not uncommon for the series to deviate
07:49from its original material,
07:51but this one had many curious aspects
07:53that made fans wonder.
07:55Dale Horvath, from Jeffrey DeMond,
07:57was loyal to Frank Darabont,
07:59but Jeffrey DeMond died quite abruptly
08:01and long before he made his homologation
08:03in the comics.
08:05It was a rather curious decision,
08:07but it coincided with the controversial
08:09departure of showrunner Frank Darabont,
08:11who was fired for budgetary disagreements.
08:13As DeMond is a regular in Darabont's films,
08:15viewers knew it was no coincidence.
08:17In 2018, he confirmed the theory
08:19on Cleveland.com,
08:21as he claimed he abandoned the series
08:23after Darabont's dismissal.
08:29Number 11.
08:31The Bill Cosby Show.
08:41This comedy helped define
08:43the 1980s,
08:45with its current themes,
08:47cozy atmosphere,
08:49and the stellar performance of Bill Cosby,
08:51who became known as the father of the United States.
08:53But there was an intense darkness lurking,
08:55although many people would not want to believe it.
08:57There were rumors that Cosby had a sexual violence story
08:59that dates back to 20 years ago,
09:01in the mid-1960s.
09:03Women like Joan Tarshis
09:05and Wendy Williams
09:07talked about the actor's turbulent story
09:09while the show was on air,
09:11and the National Enquirer tabloid
09:13published articles about the accusations,
09:15but many people ignored them.
09:17It was not until 2014 when Cosby's fall really began,
09:19and we will never see his show
09:21in the same way again.
09:27Number 10.
09:29Bad terms.
09:31Sex and the City,
09:33Carrie Bradshaw,
09:35and Samantha Jones
09:37were a great advance
09:39for female friendship on television.
09:45Unfortunately,
09:47this dynamic was plagued by rumors
09:49of tension between Sarah Jessica Parker
09:51and Kim Cattrall, especially for the salary.
09:57These rumors were confirmed
09:59after the end of the series,
10:01and the salary disputes
10:03influenced a lot.
10:05Fans suspected that Samantha
10:07had been eliminated from the revival
10:09and Just Like That out of spite.
10:11Well, Parker announced that Cattrall
10:13was not even invited to return.
10:15It was simply understood that she would not be interested
10:17after making two films
10:19of Sex and the City.
10:21Luckily for the fans,
10:23she made an appearance in the second season.
10:26Number 9.
10:28The tumor of Izzy,
10:30Grey's Anatomy.
10:32Resident doctors have a reputation
10:34of working unhealthy hours.
10:36Apparently also the members
10:38of the medical program department.
10:40The actress Katherine Heigl,
10:42who played Dr. Izzy Stevenson
10:44Grey's Anatomy,
10:46was considered a difficult worker
10:48and periodically denounced
10:50the bad working conditions.
10:56In 2008,
10:58she withdrew her name
11:00from the consideration for the semis
11:02because she thought her role was underestimated.
11:04In the following season,
11:06she was diagnosed with a brain tumor.
11:08The co-protagonist, James Pickens Jr.,
11:10soon confirmed the suspicions
11:12that this plot arc had been written
11:14to keep her at bay.
11:18Izzy, by chance,
11:20recovered after the negotiations
11:22of Heigl's contract.
11:24She was told to be fired
11:26after the sixth season,
11:28but now she criticizes
11:30her own behavior more than the series.
11:38Number 8.
11:40Cash Cab.
11:42The entertaining Cash Cab contest
11:44played with the fantasy
11:46that anyone could win a lot
11:48at any time.
11:50Ben Bailey, the presenter,
11:53did not know how many correct answers
11:55they would have had.
11:59Many viewers assumed
12:01that the winners
12:03were not really cash.
12:05And that's right,
12:07the dollar bills
12:09that the winners showed
12:11to the camera were cash.
12:13Later, they received the prize money
12:15in a check sent by mail
12:17for tax purposes.
12:19That's if they didn't cancel
12:21Cash Cab.
12:23His illusions were taken seriously.
12:25Some contestants have even challenged
12:27the confidentiality agreement
12:29to reveal that they were recruited
12:31before entering Bailey's taxi.
12:33But the utility bills
12:35perfectly reflect how Cash Cab
12:37is deceitful even in the title.
12:43Number 7.
12:45Sometimes you have to go.
12:47The complicated personality of Carla Tortelli
12:49is more remarkable for the fans of Cheers
12:51than for the characters of the series.
12:53The sad days of this single mother
12:55seemed to have ended
12:57when she married Eddie Levesque
12:59until she died in a strange accident
13:01in an ice polish shop.
13:05This dark and strange twist
13:07was so far from the tone of the series
13:09that viewers suspected
13:11that there was revenge behind it.
13:13Eddie's actor, Jay Thomas,
13:15had lamented in a joke
13:18He himself theorized
13:20that this caused him to be fired.
13:24In 2006, a scriptwriter
13:26of the show revealed that in fact
13:28Perman made them eliminate Eddie
13:30to annoy Thomas.
13:32It was even discovered that Eddie
13:34was a polygamous swindler.
13:36Although he claimed that his intention
13:38was to insult Carla and not the actress,
13:40he must have taken care of his words.
13:42Number 6
13:44Leno steals the show
13:46The Tonight Show with Jay Leno
13:48As Late Night with David Letterman
13:50from NBC
13:52was considered a worthy substitute
13:54of Johnny Carson,
13:56Letterman was prepared to do it
13:58after his retirement in 1992.
14:00Instead, the comedian Jay Leno
14:02took over The Tonight Show.
14:04This caused a huge controversy
14:06between the public and within the industry.
14:12As Leno had become
14:14the guest host resident of Carson,
14:16many suspected an agreement
14:18behind the scenes to dethrone Letterman.
14:20It was not until the 2021
14:22docuseries The Story of Late Night
14:24when it was revealed that Leno
14:26had a secret succession contract.
14:38In fact, the conflicts between
14:41Letterman and the NBC executives
14:43were the drop that spilled the cup.
14:45Although Leno overcame his initial
14:47audience drop and became as big
14:49as Letterman, both have been
14:51confronted since the agreement
14:53was just speculation.
15:01Number 5
15:03Gordon is a good person
15:05Hell's Kitchen
15:11Gordon Ramsay is considered
15:13one of the most popular chefs in the world
15:15and one of the most hated characters
15:17on television, especially in his
15:19American adaptation in which he presented
15:21the well-known Hell's Kitchen
15:23with a deliciously diabolical intensity.
15:29Many fans are skeptical
15:31that he is really so aggressive
15:33because he is noticeably more reserved
15:35in other programs like MasterChef.
15:37It is true that he has conflicts
15:39with other TV apprentices who claim
15:41that he is a wonderful and patient mentor.
15:43He is also famous for being a devotee
15:45of family, philanthropy and fans.
15:47The caricature of his perfectionism
15:49is just an entertaining alter ego.
15:51Although Ramsay gets in a bad mood
15:53when the quality of his restaurants
15:55is short, it is clear that he takes
15:57his brand seriously.
16:03Number 4
16:05As a comic star in the 90s,
16:07Susan was a popular figure
16:09but also the subject of rumors
16:11about her sexuality.
16:13It was speculated intensely
16:15about whether she was gay
16:17and if her orientation would have
16:19any effect on her character.
16:23The strict secrecy that surrounded
16:25the production of the cryptically
16:27called Poppy episode made many
16:29suspect that something important
16:31was coming, and so it was.
16:34Maybe not so casually,
16:36DeGeneres herself came out
16:38of the closet on the cover
16:40of Time magazine more or less
16:42when the episode was broadcast.
16:44Unfortunately, the reactions
16:46and boycotts caused Ellen's cancellation
16:48the following year.
16:50The important advance of ABC
16:52was bittered by its negative
16:54to fight for it.
16:58Number 3
17:00As bad as they are good.
17:02It is a secret that the aspirants
17:04to American Idol have only a few
17:06seconds to amaze the talent hunters
17:08and producers in a series of preliminary
17:10auditions. The real mystery is
17:12how many of the alleged singers
17:14manage to pass that round.
17:20The popular theory was that the
17:22producers included some of the worst
17:24auditions to entertain people.
17:26In fact, the strange or simply
17:28terrible singers of American Idol
17:31are so good that the television auditions
17:33are organized around this concept.
17:41However, given the concern that this tradition
17:43was exploitative, the producer Trish
17:45Keenan put an end to the revival
17:47in 2018.
17:49American Idol is popular enough
17:51and entertaining without having to publicly
17:53humiliate people.
18:01Number 2
18:03The Bachelor
18:05The romance in The Bachelor tends to be polarizing
18:07and is also meticulously
18:09manufactured. The producers plan the
18:11dates, organize the interactions
18:13and basically keep the cast trapped.
18:15There are those who have suspected for a long time
18:17that even the decisions of the singles
18:19are predetermined.
18:25In 2018, former executive producer
18:27Scott Jeffries confirmed that
18:29the contestants advance or are eliminated
18:31in part according to the responses
18:33of the audience. The contestant
18:35played by Ali Fedotowsky
18:37stated that this practice
18:39is also used in spin-offs.
18:43They assure that the producers have
18:45total control only in the development
18:47of the rose ceremonies and that their influence
18:49on the stars decreases
18:51as the competition advances.
18:53Of course, the unfair pressure
18:55exerted on these romances is well documented,
18:57directly or indirectly,
18:59the controversial love stories
19:01of Bachelor Nation give
19:03too much prominence to the spits
19:05off the screen.

19:23Number 1
19:26The scandal of the Q&A contest
19:2821. The Q&A contests
19:30were very popular
19:32in the 1950s.
19:34The NBC's 21 was a success,
19:36especially due to the rivalry
19:38between Charles Van Doren and Herbert Stempel.
19:40This last defeat changed
19:42the public perception of the program
19:44by stating that it was staged.
19:48In addition to confirming that
19:50the participants were given the answers
19:52and were planned to dramatize,
19:54the Congress' investigations found
19:56that most of the contests were wrong.
19:58The scandal was so intense
20:00that it basically ended the genre.
20:02Joe Pardee revived it in 1964
20:04with a game system
20:06that made it difficult to cheat.
20:08Even so, after being immortalized
20:10by Robert Redford's quiz show,
20:12the fashion of the 50s cheats
20:14is considered one of the most scandalous
20:16TV conspiracies in history.
20:18Well, as far as we know.
