What is it About Games

Why, oh why, does every show on television have to have a game segment. No matter what kind of show, especially talk shows, all make a guest play a game. I wonder, is the guest warned in advance that they will have to play a game? I would think so, unless they are all good sports. I hate game shows, I always have, with the exception of Jeopardy, I suppose. But that seems to be the rage today, everyone has to play a game. I, sometimes, mute the game segment, change the channel, or put up with it and be grateful it didn't last long.
