When someone makes an apperance on Jeopardy or Jerry Springer etc. do they get outfitted by the show, or do they just show-up wearing whatever?

Most game shows shoot a week’s worth of shows in a day, so the wardrobe department usually provides as many changes of clothes as needed.

Outfitted by the show??

No, you have to bring your own clothes. _Jeopardy!_ tapes 5 shows a day, with about 13 minutes between episodes. If you are a sucessful contestant you have to mix and match your own clothes.

I’m fairly certain the only people outfitted by the show are the hosts.
