Random memory from when I was a kid:  there was a Joe Montana on Wink’s version of Trivial Pursuit.  Kid me, knowing who Joe Montana was but not what he looked like, thought it was actually him.

If memory serves, there was a contestant named Betty White on Match Game 7x one time when Betty was actually on the panel.

On the TTTT '80 episode with Barry Bremen, the sports imposter, one of the game's imposters was named Bill Cullen (ours was on the panel as well)

Acknowledging the bump, they did a similar thing in the 70s too:

"The Name's The Same" was more or less built around this concept.   

That show had contestants named Bill Cullen and Robert Q Lewis (the show's host).
