To Tell the Truth - William M Gaines

A panel including two game show legends, Bill Cullen & Gene Rayburn, cross-examines the founder & publisher of MAD Magazine. Dick DeBartolo, who was collecting paychecks from both Gaines and Goodson-Todman at this point, pops up during the credits.

im not sure how this game works

Three people claim to be the same person. One IS that person and must give truthful answers. The other two are imposters and they can lie all they want. Panel has to grill all three of them with questions and vote on who the real person is.

Great video, anyone know what the card says that they're holding over Dick's chest at the end?

[AdamNedeff]

It didn't show up well after I compressed it. Gene drew an arrow and wrote "DeBartolo - Writer"

The guy on the far right looks like somthing out of an old issue of MAD

Gaines was a distant cousin of mine. As a boy I was a huge MAD fan. My grandpa told me Gaines was related. I sent Gaines a letter noting the family relationship. 2 YEARS later I received a letter on MAD stationary. Gaines wrote something like: "Your aunt Baska couldn't possibly be Meyer's second cousin because Baska's sister Mussya was Meyer's mom..which would make them sibblings and aunt/neice..which is impossible AND illegal..But one thing is sure:We are related! Madly Yours -Bill Gaines.

I wonder why Gaines didn't mention any of the EC horror comics in his letter. Hmmm. I guess the memory was a little too painful.

@vpdisco I want to pull that rug off his head.

Doesn't it figure? The man who gave millions gut splitting laughter and its anticedent, happiness, does get a vote. Ah, such is life...

@vpdisco An extra from the Mort Drucker drawn parody in the beginning of the issue :).
