The set up that wrecked the biggest TV show of that time, The $64,000 Question, was the 64K question to spell that word and he was given the answer prior to being asked. It's what "Quiz Show" was based on.

It was the first big game show and contestants would double their winnings or lose it all by advancing and answering the questions up to the grand prize at that time, 64K. And at that time 64K was a lot of money.Oh, that's interesting. I never saw the movie... I don't think I'd ever seen the show either.

It was the first actual situation of a network trying to manipulate the ratings and it worked, everyone was watching the show. But then they got nailed for the set up. Pretty big scandal back then and served as the story line for the film that won quite a few awards. Redford directed it.
