Broadcast News (1987)
has schlubby guy Aaron Altman (Albert Brooks) vs. handsome devil Tom Grunick (William Hurt) - in fact, at one point Altman makes a case for Grunick being the devil.
Like
Quiz Show
, it gives us a look at how show business works behind the scenes.
And
Altman reveals that Grunick was cheating at his job
.
There's also
Magnolia (1999)
, which has a plotline involving a quiz show that goes off the rails.
I'm surprised that neither movie is on the list of recommendations:

I guess even a complex formula can miss a few.
