A panel game or panel show is a radio or television game show in which a panel of celebrities participates. Participants may compete with each other, such as on ''The News Quiz''; facilitate play by non-celebrity contestants, such as on ''Match Game''/''Blankety Blank''; or do both, such as on ''Wait Wait Don't Tell Me''. The genre can be traced to 1938, when ''Information Please'' debuted on U.S. radio.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Quiz show )〕 The earliest known television panel show is ''Play the Game'', a charades show in 1946. The modern trend of comedy panel shows can find early roots with ''Stop Me If You've Heard This One'' in 1939 and ''Can You Top This?'' in 1940. While panel shows were more popular in the past in the U.S., they are still very common in the United Kingdom. ==Format== While many early panel shows stuck to the traditional quiz show format in which celebrities tried to get the right answers and win, the primary goal of modern panel shows is to entertain the audience with comedy, with the game or quiz structure providing subjects for the comedians to joke about. Another feature of panel games is the comedic banter, friendly ribbing and camaraderie between the panelists. Scoring is often deemphasized in panel shows. The American version of ''Whose Line Is It Anyway?'' acknowledged this with the introduction, "Welcome to ''Whose Line Is It Anyway'', the show where everything's made up and the points don't matter." ''QIs opaque scoring system is purportedly a mystery even to its creator,〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.bbcnordic.com/qi/trivia )〕 ''I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue'' dispenses with points altogether, and many other shows mention points only occasionally or at the end, instead of continuously displaying scores in front of players. Panel games can have any number of themes. Many are topical and satirical, such as ''Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!'', ''Have I Got News for You'', ''The News Quiz'' and ''Mock The Week''. ''8 Out of 10 Cats'' is based on opinion polling; ''What's My Line?'' is about occupations; ''Never Mind the Buzzcocks'' and ''Face The Music'' center on music; ''A League of Their Own'' and ''A Question of Sport'' are sports-themed; ''Was It Something I Said?'', ''Quote... Unquote'' and ''Who Said That?'' feature quotations; ''My Word!'' involves wordplay; ''I've Got a Secret'' is about secrets; ''To Tell The Truth'' and ''Would I Lie to You?'' deal with lies; and ''It Pays to Be Ignorant'' and ''I'm Sorry I Haven't A Clue'' are parodies. Some panel games are variations of classic parlor games. ''Twenty Questions'' is based on the parlor game of the same name, ''Give Us a Clue'' is modeled after Charades, and ''Call My Bluff'' and ''Balderdash'' are based on Fictionary. Frequently, a panel show features recurring panelists or permanent team captains, and some panelists appear on multiple panel shows. Most shows are recorded before a studio audience. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Panel game」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
