* CreatorKiller:
** Once the scandals finally exploded and made ''Twenty-One'' synonymous with rigging and cheating, it unsurprisingly put host and producer Jack Barry and partner Dan Enright in the Hollywood hall of shame. They were not able to create another show until 1972, when ''Series/TheJokersWild'' premiered.
** The scandals also led to TV laws that are still enforced today, which ended the sponsors' ability to control the show after they tried to take the reins for the 50's.
* FranchiseKiller: After NBC was forced to pull ''Twenty-One'' from their schedule when the scandals surfaced, the show wasn't even touched for another 40 years, barring a few attempts to retool it. NBC finally gave the program another shot in 2000 after ''Series/WhoWantsToBeAMillionaire'' revived the big-money quiz show genre months prior, and it ran for six months but produced some big, legit wins.
