I think that's debateable. We have shows like Survivorman and Les Stroud wasn't famous when the show was conceived. Why did the network care about some random schmoe living in the woods for a week? You have shows like Man vs. Wild where there is a crew who another no-name on camera. I'm certain popularity had influence but I can't say with any certainty that's why the show exists... and neither can you.

"Here, at last, is the cure for texting while driving. The millions of deaths which occur every year due to the iPhone’s ability to stream the Kim K/Ray-J video in 4G could all be avoided, every last one of them, if the government issued everyone a Seventies 911 and made sure they always left the house five minutes later than they’d wanted to. It would help if it could be made to rain as well. Full attention on the road. Guaranteed." -Jack Baruth
