"TO TELL THE TRUTH" is an American television game show created by Bob Stewart[1] and produced by Goodson-Todman Productions that has been aired intermittently in various formats since 1956, hosted by various television personalities. It is one of two game shows in the United States to have aired at least one version every decade for the past five decades. (The other is The Price is Right, also originally created by Stewart for Goodson-Todman and currently American TV's longest running daily game.)
To Tell the Truth has been seen first-run either on network television or in syndication a total of 25 seasons, just exceeding the 24 of What's My Line? and outpacing the 20 of I've Got A Secret.
The basic premise of the show consists of a panel of four celebrities correctly uncovering a contestant's identity from a choice of three possibilities. One of the contestants normally holds an unusual occupation (a premise similar to the show's sister, What's My Line?) or has done something noteworthy, and it is this person that the panel must attempt to identify. Each of the three contestants claims to be this person, and is interrogated in turn by the panel who will then vote whom they think is telling the truth. However, if one of the panel actually knows the guest, then they would abstain from voting, which would automatically count as an incorrect vote for the panel.
Once the votes have been cast, the host asks "Will the real [person's name], please stand up?" The truthful contestant stands, often after some brief playful feinting and false starts among all three guests, and the other two then reveal their proper identity. Prize money is awarded to the contestants based on how many incorrect votes were placed by the panel; the more successfully the contestants bluff, the larger their final cash award.
To Tell the Truth, premiered on Tuesday, December 18, 1956 on CBS in prime time as Nothing But the Truth, but changed its name to To Tell the Truth the following week.[2] A daytime five-day-per-week edition was introduced on Monday, June 18, 1962, running at 3 p.m. Eastern, and 2 p.m. Central.
Bud Collyer was the host of this version; major panelists by the 1960s included Tom Poston, Peggy Cass, Orson Bean, and Kitty Carlisle. Earlier regular panelists had included Johnny Carson, Polly Bergen, Jayne Meadows, Don Ameche, columnist Hy Gardner, Dick Van Dyke, John Cameron Swayze, and Ralph Bellamy
