On a recent episode of "The Price is Right," Eugene Byon (who a few of us are friends with) was called to come on down for the second time. This is thanks to PiR's rule allowing contestants to become eligible again after ten years.
Previously Eugene was on Millionaire, and was invited back for "Second Chance Week."
Are there other examples of a contestant making two separate appearances on two different shows? For the sake of this discussion, let's say defending champions don't count, but being invited back for a ToC or other tournament does count.

Mark Leinwand for Tic Tac Dough and Jeopardy.
Mort Kamins for Sale of the Century and The Challengers.

Leszek Pawlowicz was a 5-time J! champ who came back for the TOC, which he won. About a decade later he appeared on History IQ and appeared on that show's 250K TOC.
In trying to figure out how to spell his name, I see he was also in the Ring of Fire on Millionaire in 1999 and 2000, as well as the syndie version in 2015.

To be fair the entire second season of IQ was an eight week playoff with rule tweaks—four wins won the crown.
Cliff Galiher won a Jeopardy College Championship then I believe became a titular Master Mind on GSN. I’m more sure that he won his first game.

Georgeann Wright was a tournament qualifier for both Clark $100K Pyramid and Classic Concentration.
Barbara Phillips was in $ale's first ToC in 1983 and then qualified for Pyramid's third tournament in 1986.

Tony Harrison played twice on Price (regular contestant, and later as a Superfan), and twice on Wheel of Fortune (regular contestant, then brought back because of an error).
