Your Name Here

Something I've wondered about... Game show name tags. 

How are they made?  Are they done by an in-house person or are they sent out?  How long does it take to make one?  Wouldn't the staff have to know well in advance who will be on the show to make these things?

What about after the show?  This is what I wonder about the most.  Does someone come around and collect the name tags from the participants?  If so, are they recycled?  Does some other DAVE get to wear that name tag? 

Have you ever gone over to someone's house and seen a game show name tag on their dresser?  Did they get to keep it or was it smuggled out?  Was the name tag signed by the Very Famous Host?  Do these things ever show up on eBay?

Yes, I know.  I'm very, very deep.  I have world-changing ambitions, obviously, with probing thoughts like these.
