Step 1 : Introduction to the question "Which game show was at the center of the cheating scandal chronicled in the movie “Quiz Show”?"
In 1956, the game show Twenty-One featured a contestant, Herb Stempel, who had been coached by producer Dan Enright to allow his opponent, Charles Van Doren, to win the game. A year later, Stempel claimed that his winning run as champion had been choreographed, and that the show's producer then ordered him to purposely lose to Van Doren. The program became notorious for being a rigged quiz show which nearly caused the demise of the entire genre in the wake of United States Senate investigations. The cheating scandal was chronicled in the 1994 movie Quiz Show.
