10 Biggest TV Game Show Cheats Ever

7. Kerry Dee Ketchum

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wmOth5dF1UQ Game Show: Super Password Winnings: $58,000 Kerry Dee Ketchum didn't exactly cheat during his game show appearance, but he did make use of a fake name. Rather than being presented on Super Password as Kerry Dee Ketchum, he was instead announced as a Mr. "Patrick Quinn." So why would 'Patrick Quinn' risk all his winnings for the sake of a fake name? Well, Ketchum was actually a fugitive, wanted in three states. Predictably, a viewer recognised him and tipped off authorities. Ketchum was arrested by police upon arriving to claim his winnings, and sentenced to five years in prison for faking his wife's death in an insurance scam. Why this con man ever decided it would be a good idea to have an extended appearance on television is mind-boggling.
