No, it'll probably be the same format, but when they film these things they go back-to-back-to-back so the actual shooting schedule isn't all that long. For instance, Jeopardy will shoot something like eight episodes per day. Compressing the shooting schedule saves a lot of money since you're not paying all of that crew for months on end and gives post-production enough time to edit the episodes, etc.
It's just like a typical movie – they may spend anywhere from a few weeks to a couple of months on the actual shoot, and then a year or more in post-production if it's heavy on CGI or whatever. Unless you're Stanley Kubrick, in which case you film for as damn long as you want, lol.
