American television game shows are entertainment programs where contestants compete by answering questions, solving puzzles, or performing tasks to win prizes. Typically broadcast on network or cable channels, these shows often feature hosts who explain rules and engage with participants. They can range from quiz-based formats like "Jeopardy!" to physical challenges like "American Ninja Warrior." The primary goal is to entertainment viewers while testing contestants’ knowledge, skills, or luck. These shows blend competition, strategy, and spectacle, often incorporating suspense and audience engagement to create compelling televised experiences.
