- -Final show from a week of Bill Cullen substituting for Garry Moore as host of the syndicated "To Tell The Truth" where Bill was usually part of the panel. Guest panelists this week include Gene Rayburn (in-between versions of "Match Game" and mostly hosting NBC Radio's "Monitor" in this period) and "2001: A Space Odyssey" star Keir Dullea.
-First subject is a young girl who did a bike tour or Manhattan. Second subject is a skydiver cameraman.
Thank you SO MUCH for posting this. My mom is the little girl, Margaret Kleeberg and we have been looking for this video forever. She just got out of quarantine (she had Covid but is a-okay) and this was a great thing for our family to watch while we reunite.
I'm so happy to know that you were able to find this and that your mother was able to see it. All the best to her in her recovery!
Interesting connection: Keir Dullea starred in the 1973 Canadian-produced syndicated sci-fi series "The Starlost", which co-starred Robin Ward...who hosted the 1980 syndicated version of "To Tell the Truth".
I love Bill Cullen.
10:03--Bill Cullen told the girl bicyclist and her imposters that there was juice backstage, which was better than Bud Collyer telling the contestants pick up a pack of cigarettes on their way out on the old TTTT.
Geritol was a sponsor of the show in the 1950s. When Gary Moore was the host of “I’ve Got A Secret”, Winston Cigarettes was a sponsor for the show for several years. Moore would give a carton of cigarettes to the contestant after his/her segment was finished. When an elderly contestant who was a witness to President Lincoln’s assassination appeared on the show (and was a pipe smoker), Moore made the rare exception of providing him a tin can of his favorite pipe tobacco.
This one's for all of us 2001 fans: Keir Dullea!
Bill Cullen was truly an all-purpose game show guy: he could adeptly pivot from being a dependable panelist to a host with no effort.
(Note the stagecraft deployed regarding Cullen's limp due to polio--the show opens to Cullen being seated, and the panelists strategically walk over to him standing at the desk.)
0:08 - Ladies and gentlemen, it's "To Tell the Truth." And sitting in for Garry Moore is your host for today, Bill Cullen.
Bill Cullen always had a youthful air about him.
Who is the first guy? And Peggy was wearing a pretty short outfit for TTTT. Always like Bill Cullen, other than game shows, not sure he did anything else.
He was in radio for many years, including on a long-remembered show for NBC Radio called Monitor from 1971-1973. It was an all-weekend show of variety, music, news. The program aired from 1955 to 1975.
Hated the "Hippie-era" and its' influences, like the psychedelic imagery artwork. Good episode, lousy atmospherics.
