Editing Game show (section)

===2000s–present===
''Wheel of Fortune'', ''Jeopardy!'' and ''Family Feud'' have continued in syndication. To keep pace with the prime-time quiz shows, ''Jeopardy!'' doubled its question values in 2001 and lifted its winnings limit in 2003, which one year later allowed [[Ken Jennings]] to become the show's first multi-million dollar winner; it has also increased the stakes of its tournaments and put a larger focus on contestants with strong personalities. The show has since produced four more millionaires: tournament winner [[Brad Rutter]] and recent champions [[James Holzhauer]], [[Matt Amodio]], and [[Amy Schneider]]. ''Family Feud'' revived in popularity with a change in tone under host [[Steve Harvey]] to include more [[ribaldry]].

In 2009, actress and comedienne [[Kim Coles]] became the first black woman to host a prime-time game show, ''Pay It Off''.

The rise of digital television in the United States opened up a large market for rerun programs. [[Buzzr]] was established by [[Fremantle (company)|Fremantle]], owners of numerous classic U.S. game shows, as a broadcast outlet for its archived holdings in June 2015. There was also a rise of live game shows at festivals and public venues, where the general audience could participate in the show, such as the science-inspired ''Geek Out Game Show'' or the ''Yuck Show''.

Since the early 2000s, several game shows were conducted in a tournament format; examples included ''[[History IQ]]'', ''[[Grand Slam (American game show)|Grand Slam]]'', ''[[PokerFace]]'' (which never aired in North America), ''[[Duel (American game show)|Duel]]'', ''[[The Million Second Quiz]]'', ''[[500 Questions]]'', ''[[The American Bible Challenge]]'', and ''[[Mental Samurai]]''. Most game shows conducted in this manner only lasted for one season.

A boom in [[prime time]] revivals of classic daytime game shows began to emerge in the mid-2010s. In 2016, ABC packaged the existing ''[[Celebrity Family Feud]]'', which had returned in 2015, with new versions of ''[[To Tell the Truth]],'' ''[[Pyramid (game show)|The $100,000 Pyramid]]'', and ''[[Match Game]]'' in 2016; new versions of ''Press Your Luck'' and ''Card Sharks'' would follow in 2019. [[TBS (American TV channel)|TBS]] launched a [[cannabis (drug)|cannabis]]-themed revival of ''[[The Joker's Wild]]'', hosted by [[Snoop Dogg]], in October 2017. This is in addition to a number of original game concepts that appeared near the same time, including ''[[Awake (game show)|Awake]]'', ''[[Deal or No Deal]]'' (which originally aired in 2005), ''[[Child Support (game show)|Child Support]]'', ''[[Hollywood Game Night]]'', ''[[1 vs. 100 (American game show)|1 vs. 100]]'', ''[[Minute to Win It]]'' (which originally aired in 2010), ''[[The Wall (American game show)|The Wall]]'', and a string of music-themed games such as ''[[Don't Forget the Lyrics!]]'', ''[[The Singing Bee (American game show)|The Singing Bee]]'', and ''[[Beat Shazam]]''. The game show format staged a comeback on daytime television in the 2020s with new formats such as ''[[Flip Side (American game show)|Flip Side]]'' and ''The Perfect Line'', both syndicated through CBS's syndication wing.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Petski |first=Denise |date=2025-03-24 |title=‘Flip Side’ Syndicated Game Show Renewed For Season 2 By CBS Media Ventures; ‘The Perfect Line’ Confirmed For Fall Launch |url=https://deadline.com/2025/03/flip-side-game-show-renewed-the-perfect-line-fall-launch-1236347979/ |access-date=2025-03-25 |website=Deadline |language=en-US}}</ref>
