To tell the truth game show

 

     If you haven't heard of this show, then you must be living under a rock. What is this about, and when did it start?

 Around the 1950's when host Bud Coyler started hosting on CBS. It got more popular when host Gary Moore started to host. Kitty Carlisle was a regular contestant until her retirement in the late 80s.

They would have four constants that were from different tv shows. Kitty being one of them. They would change everyone and sometimes there were funny moments. Like a player not getting a name right as he says, "my name's the same as his." Or another contestant saying that he can't vote because he already had seen him in the bathroom.

    Another incident, well...it involved another player that was a bird caller or something, and the host was going to release the bird to the real person. However, the bird landed on the cameraman.

Even Orville Redenbacher was a panelist of To tell the truth. But nobody got him right. I did, and this came out before I was born. LOL. A few more famous people were panelist. Joe Barbara, Caroll Spinney, the guy who created Mad Magazine and much more.

John O'Hurley hosted To tell the truth for a few years. He was pretty good, but not too funny. I think I liked him more on Seinfeld.

Now... Anthony Anderson is the new host, and the show has gotten a lot funnier.

Anthony Anderson is hilarious. He even has his own mother on the show and she cracks everyone up. The show ha been pretty good so far. They have the same formula of three panalist, and some of them are a surprise.

One of them was well...she was a spy who wore costumes for the CIA or something. And around the last one, not only the mistress Elvira on, but she disguised herself as another panelist. 

 It seems Pee Wee Herman was also a panelist, but in a costume for the real person who did cos-play or something. His reveal was pretty amazing.

But they've had celebrities on before, mostly hidden in a costume of something. So this wouldn't be a first time.

Alex Trebek was also a host of To tell the truth a year before coming the host of Jeopardy. 

 

  

 The contestants even ate dog food. Ok, they didn't know they were eating dog food. They thought they were eating beef stroganoff. LOL
