Contestants sharing host/talent’s name?

(1/1)

Mr. Brown:
I was on “Zillow Gone Wild” earlier today when I saw the latest bizarre real estate listing was being handled by somebody named “Drew Carey”. Which, prompted a thought in my head: have there ever been any game shows where a contestant shared the name (or a similar name) with the talent?

Kevin Prather:
There was a contestant named Betty White on Match Game, and our Betty was on the panel.

Chief-O:
Can't find the clip at the moment, but there was a contestant named Bob Eubanks on his namesake's version of "Card Sharks".

Mr. Matté:
Sorta had this topic before and there were some mentions of the shows' hosts specifically there: https://www.gameshowforum.org/index.php/topic,35296.0.html

Mr. Brown:
Oof! I definitely should’ve searched. 2023 wasn’t all that long ago.
