@msk7046 What did you think about his hosting of $trike it Rich?

I liked Joe a lot, but he was damned. It was like taking over for John Daly or even Johnny Carson. People would always compare Joe to Garry.
-
Bill Cullen died of lung cancer and was a very, very heavy smoker.
-
Possibly also because even then, the mention of cancer was a touchy subject on daytime television.

I agree no need to demean Joe Garagiola. He was always a professional announcer and one of the best baseball broadcasters of all time. But, Garry Moore was a wonderful performer. So professional, humerous, humble, a true gentlemen. A great host of To Tell the Truth. Also, must acknowledge dry humor and wit of the Great Bill Cullen.

@johnissoevil I believe Garry Moore didn't mention cancer because one of his prior TV shows may have been sponsored by a cigarette company.
Loved the sense of humor he displayed in this segment.

Never a big Garry Moore fan but a classy farewell none the less RIP

i taped this episode when it aired on GSN a few years back,along with 2 episodes from 1967 which were guest hosted by Mark Goodson himself. truly nostalgic,especially since GSN probably won't ever show them again unfortunately. i also have an episode from 1968,also taped off GSN that was guest hosyed bt the late Bert Convy,another true lost traesure.
To ME, Garry Moore was THE host of TTTT - not that sphegetti-bender that replaced him. He was AWFUL between TTTT and hosting sporting games, I disliked everything about him.

@msk7046 Wow, that sounds rather strong. Personally, I liked Joe Garagiola as host.
