Celebrities of film, TV, and sports were frequent guest participants on the show as well. Originally previewed in April 1980 as The Sunday Games, the format was inspired by another NBC show Real People, which had recurring segments featuring similar competitions and displays of unusual skills.[2] The series is noted for popularizing Mr. T, who won the "America's Best Bouncer" (sometimes reported as "World's Toughest Bouncer")[4] competition twice on the show, donating his $3000 prize to charity.[3] Mr. T was subsequently cast by Sylvester Stallone as Clubber Lang, the villain in Rocky III.[4][2] The title of the show is a play on the title of Games People Play, a popular psychology book from the 1960s about mind games and interactions within relationships.{{cn|date=February 2018}} ReceptionCritical reception was negative, described as ranging "from dismissive to disdainful".[2] People contributor Scott Veale described Games People Play as "NBC's laughable 'trashsport' show".[5] Nielsen ratings for the show were moderately high when the season began, attributed to a delay in scripted television production due to a 1980 Hollywood actor's strike which put the show against a number of reruns and made-for-TV movies. The show's ratings fell quickly though after new shows returned, leading to its cancellation announcement in December 1980.[2]References1. ^{{cite magazine |last1=Cohn |first1=Lowell |title=It's Gumbel, Not Mumble Or Bumble |journal=Sports Illustrated |date=August 18, 1980 |volume=53 |issue=8 |page=36 |issn=0038-822X |quote=Gumbel will host an NBC prime-time series called Games People Play, a trash-sport production featuring beer-guzzling, car-crashing and barroom-bouncing contests. |via=EBSCOhost MasterFILE Complete}} 2. ^1 2 3 4 {{cite book |last1=McKenna |first1=Michael |title=Real People and the Rise of Reality Television |date=2015 |publisher=Rowman & Littlefield |isbn=9781442250543 |pages=48-50 |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=qb9tCQAAQBAJ&pg=PA48 |accessdate=4 February 2019 |lccn=2015002439 |chapter=2.
