The Fame Game was a television programme broadcast in Ireland on RTÉ Two.[1] It ran for four seasons from 2001 to 2005, and was presented by Caroline Morahan. She was selected to present the show from an open audition[2] at the Royal Dublin Society in the reality TV series The Selection Box.[3] After being presented with the contract to host The Fame Game, Morahan had only two weeks to prepare for that role.[4] The premise of the show was that starstruck celebrity-worshipping fans were sent, usually to exotic locations, to track down their idols. It was produced by Adare Productions, they had had similar success with a weekly item on their TG4 series RíRá, where the fans tried to get the celebrities to speak a cúpla focal as Gaeilge (a few words in Irish).[5]
