Game shows have always had repeat contestants. That is, some people have been on multiple shows. I figure that this can start here, but can always be moved to the General board if it starts to turn into a mixture of classic and modern talk.

I heard PYLdude say on Game Show Forum that Wemkea Sherman was a contestant on Press Your Luck. It must have been during one of the final three months, and such episode from such period is missing from all guides.

Chris Kaas from November 1984, Hal Johnson (the guy in the "Body Break" fitness segments in Canada) from December 1985 and March 1986, Kim Oliver from October 1983, Jon Eisen from November 1985, Jacquie Abude (please clarify spelling?) from the lost Back-to-School episode in 1985, and Mac McHugh from February 1984, who were all contestants on Press Your Luck during those times, would later appear on Bob Eubanks' Card Sharks.
Gene Snyder who was on Press Your Luck in July 1984 was on the Bill Rafferty version of Card Sharks.
Miriam Voorhees, who was on Press Your Luck in October 1983, previously appeared on Jim Perry's Card Sharks in 1978.
Faith, who made Card Sharks history winning the biggest Money Cards total in March 1986, would appear on Bill Rafferty's Blockbusters during the start of its final week of the series, late in April 1987.
Eva, who appeared on Buzzr's recent airings of Rafferty's Card Sharks, was previously a contestant on the Jim Perry version.
Annemarie Carrera, who was on Press Your Luck in June 1986 (and had the highest total in the series behind Michael Larson), would later appear on the game show Greed.
Paige Green, who was also on Press Your Luck in June 1986 (and was notorious for the falling "N" blooper), would later appear on Tom Bergeron's Hollywood Squares in November 1998 during its first season. I did learn that GSN skipped that Hollywood Squares episode, but it did later air on GameTV in Canada.
Scott Hostetler, who was known for "Hong Kong, All Right!" on Press Your Luck in December 1983, was on a lot of game shows. Several years ago, he was a contestant on The Price is Right, on one of the last episodes of Season 40, and he won a trip to a destination that started with "H", but it was not Hong Kong, but Hawaii.
Michael Haines, who was a contestant on Press Your Luck in December 1983, would appear on The Price is Right $1,000,000 Spectacular a quarter of a century later, and would win a million dollars.
Rani White, who appeared on The $25,000 Pyramid in 1985, later appeared on $ale of the Century in 1988, and would be the only player to successfully win the $50,000 top prize in the Winner's Big Money Game.
Stefoni (last name?), who appeared on Bob Eubanks' Card Sharks in August 1986, previously appeared on Body Language in the Summer of 1984 - it was during the first month of the series.
Philip Cousin, who was on The Price is Right during the final new episode of Season 34 in June 2006 and won a car on Spelling Bee, would later appear as a contestant on Wheel of Fortune. His TPIR appearance was originally slated to air on June 12, 2006 (based on certain cast members' appearances), but got bumped to June 27, 2006 in favor of an episode originally slated to air on September 27, 2005 which had a trip to New Orleans offered as a prize.

Also, LaRue who was on Eubanks' Card Sharks on the first show of 1988 (and soon to be rebroadcast during the supposedly short-lived late night classics block), didn't she appear on the finale of Chuck Henry's Now You See It? I know the champion won $35,000 on the final playing of the end game.
Chad Mosher, who was a regular poster on the now defunct GSN boards, was a contestant on Wheel of Fortune and syndicated Who Wants to be a Millionaire?

One correction and one addition: Jeff was on "$25,000 Pyramid," not "Super Password," and Amy was also on Jack Narz's "Now You See It." An addition to an earlier post: Rani White was also on "Celebrity Double Talk" in 1986. A good number of contestants from "Super Password" eventually appeared on the 1987 "Blockbusters" and the 1990-1991 "Match Game." I believe there was similar overlap between "Password Plus" and the original "Blockbusters." |

I find it hard to imagine that it seems like, very rarely, a family member on any version of Family Feud would appear on another game show by himself/herself.

Lemme see what I can put together... Maggie Brown was on The Joker's Wild (at least 9/19/72), Blank Check (1/6-10/75), Second Chance (Pilot #3, taped 11/9/76), Whew! (Pilot #3, taped 12/4/78), Press Your Luck (5/18/83 pilot, 3/9 and 12/84), and Wipeout (10/18/88). Jack Campion was on a bunch of pilots: Blank Check (10/4/74 #1), Second Chance (11/9/76 #3), Card Sharks (3/17/78 #1), Let's Get Personal (early 1980s; info here), Sale of the Century (1982), Press Your Luck (5/18/83), and Jeopardy! (9/18/83 and early '84). Laura Chambers, who went on to be an on-air host during GSN's early years, was on Party Line (1983 unsold pilot), Scrabble (pilot, taped 3/8/84), and I Predict (unsold pilot taped 9/28/87). Second-era Finders Keepers host Larry Toffler was on Debt (circa 1997), Greed (2000 "70s Trivia" show), Russian Roulette (10/14/02), and Catch 21 (7/1/09). As far as I know, none of these appearances made mention of his game show connection. |

I remember seeing her on an episode of Married With Children once. |
