I remember 'Queen for a Day". It was a game show that let housewives win household stuff like wash machines, living room sets and the like. If I recall they would have 3 housewives come on and tell their stories of woe and the saddest story would win. I could be wrong.
What’s more wrong is you watched it.

I highly doubt @rod was a child when it aired.
On TV 56-64.

Apparently, it was a forerunner to today's exploitive shows.

Veteran television writer Mark Evanier[21] has called the program "one of the most ghastly shows ever produced." He further described it as "tasteless, demeaning to women, demeaning to anyone who watched it, cheap, insulting and utterly degrading to the human spirit."

But cheap to produce.
That is the basic reason game shows exist, even today.

In other words, it was a hit show

I never realized it was that good.
