Since this article is on phone-in game shows as a whole, they shall be divided up by show:
Brainteaser
- On one episode from 2004, during a conversation with a contestant, Craig Stevens is interrupted by the contestant's phone going off. Much to the embarrassment of the contestant, Craig ends up having to answer it for him. Not only the contestant's reaction to his phone being taken away is priceless, but Craig's reaction is, too.Craig: But he's made of-Contestant: (Notices his phone is ringing) Oh my god, somebody's-Craig: Have you got a PHONE?!Contestant: Uh, I'm just on TV now, goodbye-Craig: Give it here! (Craig takes the phone away from the contestant)Contestant: Bloody Hell...Craig (sounding ticked off at being disrupted on live TV) - We're live right here on Five- (He answers the phone) Hello, who's that? Yeah, Donald's on a show right now trying to win money, call back. For goodness sake... if they knew the right answer to our phone puzzle, we're in trouble.

QuizMania
- Co-host Greg Scott (otherwise known as "Greggles") was pretty much the comic relief.
- On the finale, he trashed the set. Mine!
