Ever get the feeling that while you're watching a game show, a familiar face pops up? Contestants and hosts have appeared on more than one show. We can compile a list of game show contestants and/or hosts that have appeared on more than one show. (The big name hosts don't count, because that would be a significantly long list and I'm more or less looking for more obsure trivia.) Let me start the list, because I want to show you exactly what I mean.
Extreme Dodgeball contestant Amazon Beard (Barbell Mafia, season 1) and Cram co-host Berglund Icey were both on SyFy's Cha$e as hunters. (The show was random people in a maze, trying to avoid the hunters who would remove them from the game. Leave the map, and be eliminated. First person to find the end point would win money.)
Also from Extreme Dodgeball: Kim Estrada was on multiple game shows - held case #16 in early seasons of Deal or No Deal and was also part of a game of Identity.

Lemme see what I can remember off the top of my head...
Guillermo Huesca, who went on to host Trato Hecho (the Spanish-American Let's Make A Deal), was a contestant on Press Your Luck in December 1985.
Longtime Price Is Right staffer Roger Dobkowitz was a contestant on the Cash Tornado pilot in 1994.
Syndicated-era Finders Keepers host Larry Toffler was a contestant on Debt, Greed, Russian Roulette, and Catch 21.
Eventual Monopoly host Mike Reilly was the "defending champ" on the show's 1989 pilot, hosted by the miles-better Peter Tomarken. He was apparently also on Jeopardy!, finishing in third place.
Game show producer Jay Wolpert was a big champ (and Tournament of Champions winner!) during the original NBC run of Jeopardy!.
Longtime Trebek-era Jeopardy! producer Rocky Schmidt (RIP) was a contestant during the second Trebek season.
Tanya, one of the models on The New Treasure Hunt during its first season, was the "returning champ" on the second Edd Byrnes pilot of Wheel of Fortune in '74.
Laura Chambers, who was an on-air host in GSN's early years, was a contestant on the Party Line pilot in 1983 and the Scrabble pilot in '84.
Would former GSN head honcho Bob Boden count? If so, he was on a couple of shows, including Password Plus.

Larry Toffler of Finders Keepers was a contestant on Catch 21? I don't recall seeing the Catch 21 episode with Larry in it. What season did Larry Toffler appear in on Catch 21? That's an episode I might have to see in the morning sometime,

Season 2, specifically the show aired July 1, 2009. Larry's one of at least four Catch 21 players who failed at math. |

I wonder if GSN will ever show Season 2 reruns of Catch 21 again sometime in the morning because Larry Toffler's episode would be fun to see, Thank You WarioSajak for the info, Kelsey |

Perhaps the most famous game show personality appearance on a game show was none other than Wheel Of Fortune's Vanna White when she appeared on The Price Is Right in 1980 but she never made it out of Contestants Row but she had fun being a part of The Price Is Right,

I think the most interesting thing is that by coincidence (not irony), said Price episode aired June 20, 1980, the day NBC canned three of its game shows and had a pretty weird episode of Wheel.

Press Your Luck contestant Scott Hostetter has won money on lots of game shows from The Price Is Right to Wheel Of Fortune and also appeared as a big winner on Catch 21. He then also pressed his luck again by appearing on Whammy and winning money once again. Scott Hostetter is one of the most popular game show stars in the game show world,

What a surprise because Mom and I saw Trato Hecho when it first aired with my grandmother and it was such a cool remake of LMAD in Spanish and I never knew that Guillermo Huesca was really famous in game shows in English. By the way the English translation of Trato Hecho is Deal Maker, Thanks for sharing this wonderful info with us WarioSajak, Kelsey |

Just thought of something: A few of the Deal or No Deal girls were on TPIR as models. Lanisha Cole, Lisa Gleave and Claudia Jordan are listed here. I know Mylinda Tov was also in a few episodes as well. |

I believe the info on the Deal Or No Deal models you mentioned are correct. Because one of Claudia Jordan's first game show appearences was being a model on TPIR and then she went on to appear in a sports game show for FOX Sports. And here's another game show host appearence you might also check out starring a very famous Chase Girl. Brooke Burns was featured as a panelist on the John O'Hurley version of To Tell The Truth,
