Quiz shows are a type of television program or game show that involves contestants answering questions to win prizes or achieve a score. These shows typically consist of a series of questions that test the contestants’ knowledge on various topics, including general knowledge, trivia, or specific subjects like history, science, or pop culture. Contestants can often compete individually or in teams. The format usually includes a host who presents the questions, interacts with the contestants, and sometimes shares commentary on the proceedings.
