  • This episode of "To Tell the Truth" serves double duty: as a WML extra because it features Dorothy Kilgallen as a guest panelist, and as a teaser for the new channel I'm launching for the nighttime episodes of TTTT on Monday, June 1st, 2015. And this episode includes the original commercials!
    Click here to subscribe to the new TTTT channel. New episodes every weekday, starting on Monday, June 1st: / @totellthetruthcbs4220
    PANEL: Tom Poston, Dorothy Kilgallen, Johnny Carson, Dina Merrill
    CONTESTANT #1: Theresa Stratas (Metropolitan opera star: en.wikipedia.or... )
    CONTESTANT #2: JT Lyle (Policeman who moonlights as a hairdresser)
    CONTESTANT #3: Mickey Thompson (Race car driver: en.wikipedia.or... )
    NOTE: This video contains material from two sources in order to preserve as much as possible from the higher quality copy without the original commercials. Many thanks to epaddon for providing a copy of the show with the original commercials intact.

      Yeah, and generations to come will call the days we're now living in, the days when life was simpler, better.
      In the mid-1900's, simpler and better living was before them.
      Each era has its positives and negatives.
      For example, now there is overall less homophobia, but overall we have more young people who don't want to work. The bigotry was worse then, but the work ethic was much better than it is today. Just my personal observations.

      Salems were menthol cigarettes and menthal, naturally, opened the airways ;-) If you are not familiar with menthol, think eucaliptos or a strong peppermint. Personally, I thought menthol cigarettes were disgusting, Cool was another brand of menthol cigarettes, just like Salems, disgusting menthol smoke. I smoked for 40 years and was chain smoking 4 packs a day when I quit cold turkey over 20 years ago. Hardest thing I ever did too. Let no one tell you it was not physically addicting because it absolutely was. First week I was pale as a sheet, breaking into cold sweats and vomiting with withdrawal.

      She was an alcoholic and drug addict who had been in rehab more than once. She died of an overdose, not killed for saying she would reveal the killer of JFK. She made that claim and 2 years went by and not a word out of her on the subject. If they were going to knock her off they would have done so 2 years before she died. I can't believe the amount of misinformation surrounding Kilgallen.

The Malibu is still with me and runs pretty well. I regret smoking, but I have never regretted the Chevelle. She's in the garage and since she's old, I only take her out in nice weather. Like Salem's, I take the old Chevy out when it's springtime fresh outside!

She was a real TV star and personality and this is also a good programme. We too did several versions of this show with titles ranging from Tell the Truth to Cuckoo In The Nest. And I've never seen Mr Carson with dark hair.

    This is the point in TTTT history when Johnny Carson was a regular nighttime panelist for a few months and was still hosting the ABC daytime game show "Who Do You Trust?". He had already been named at this point as the next host of the Tonight Show (see his WML MG appearance of 2/11/62) but had to wait out the end of his ABC contract before he could start. "Who Do You Trust" had also at one time immediately followed the daytime version of "Beat The Clock", hosted by Bud Collyer on ABC (that show's run had ended in 1960).

      Johan Bengtsson I think they made the right call. Of the three major G-T panel shows, TTTT was the strongest as a pure game (WML wasn't much more than a variant of "20 Questions", and IGAS was hardly a game at all.), so I think it makes a lot of sense that this is the show where the audience had to play along with the panel. The fun of being in on the contestant lines on WML was in watching the panel get lost, or ask inadvertently silly questions with unintended meanings. That kind of thing doesn't really happen on TTTT, so knowing who the impostors were in advance wouldn't add the same the sort of layer of entertainment that being in on the secret did with WML (and IGAS, for that matter). All it would really give you is the ability to better gauge how good the liars were, and what would be lost, the element of playing along, is a big part of the appeal of the show. That's my take.
