Bonus games with no relation to the main game
Robert Hutchinson:
The first two shows that come to mind are both hosted by Pat Finn. Should I be scared?
Joker's Wild '90: \"As you know, The Joker's Wild is a game of definitions. Well, okay, only in the endgame, really.\"
Shop Til You Drop: Considering the name of the show, it's probably more fair to say that the maingame had nothing to do with the endgame.
What are we calling an \"endgame\" here, exactly? 'Cause I only want to offer the smartass answer of Press Your Luck if it's also accurate.

Actually, this endgame does tie into the show because you are trying to earns spins of the \"reels.\"

Wow, that's really an accurate description.

Don't be one. You know exactly what an endgame is, and you know that PYL doesn't have one.

Technically, the spin round on Second Chance and PYL was called a \"bonus round\" as reported in ATGS several years back. At least it was called that by Jan McCormack, the game's creator.
ANother show to add to this list: Battlestars 81-82
Jimmy Owen:
I really didn't mind too much that the bonus games on \"Split Second\" and \"Big Showdown\" didn't require brainpower because it was a reward for your hard work up to that point. Sorta like first doing your chores and then getting to watch TV or dessert only after cleaning your plate.

Nope...and it later became the endgame to Double Talk, where it also had nothing to do w/the maingame.
