1973-To Tell The Truth (Mets "Sign Man", Karl Ehrhardt)

-From either late 1973 or early 1974, here is an episode of the syndicated "To Tell The Truth" that features as the first subject, Karl Ehrhardt, the "Sign Man" of Shea Stadium whose presence at Mets games was a constant from 1964 to 1981. Because of a falling out with new Mets ownership after the 81 season, Ehrhardt stopped coming and but for one time in 2002, never came back. He died in 2008.
-The panel consists of Bill Cullen, Peggy Cass, Kitty Carlisle and Gene Wood who was in his second and final season hosting the syndicated version of "Beat The Clock" for Goodson-Todman (in what would be his only hosting job. He would continue as an announcer on many other Goodson shows).

Number 3 is my grandpa! He passed away just a few years ago. This gave me a good laugh!

I wonder why Buzzr airs only episodes of To Tell The Truth from 1973 and 1974. They have been airing a few episodes from the fifties, though.

Love seeing this again. Thank’s LuLu.

At first I was wondering why Gene Wood, who was better known for his announcing, was on the panel here. I guess at the time he was hosting the version of "Beat the Clock" that was being taped in Montreal. He had to step from behind the camera to in front after previous host Jack Narz left the show.

Of course Bill Cullen gets it right, he was the most perceptive of the panelists AND a big (Pittsburgh) sports fan.

OMG Is this my Johnny? Roger must have booked him as an imposter. I don’t remember this. Great to see my best friend, again. jimmy
