To Tell the Truth - Bud Collyer's brother; PANEL: Conrad Nagel (Oct 14, 1958)

[@Melissa-SC73]

I love it when someone on the panel knows one of the three people.

[@EpicFichti]

I love Collyer! Especially his work on Beat The Clock fascinates me. I love how energetic he is, how he talks, how he let's the contestants do their things, how he changes up the rules a bit... a huge inspiration for me!

Great to see for future generations of the family!

[@Ilovebubblegummusic]

The “Mr. President” reference made to Bud by Conrad was because Bud was just elected president of AFTRA, the television and radio actors union. (As we discover during the third segment). Bud, of course, played Superman for years on radio.

[@amberola1b]

Damn, I didn't know that was him. I love the radio version of Superman when I listen to it on the internet. Now when I hear him speak in this show I can hear his Superman voice. Cracks me up how he goes from sounding like meek mild Clark Kent to the deeper voice of the man of steel. Lol.

[@David-yw2lv]

He also did Superman in cartoons for theatrical release & television.

[@44032]

I've always liked Conrad Nagel. Handsome man, beautifully modulated voice, gentlemanly manner. Good humored. Very appealing.

[@JeffW77]

This was very cool--found it at random. I learned of Olatunji in a college music appreciation class in about 1975 and bought his record. Santana recorded his "Jingo lo ba." Olatunji died in 2003.

[@actownsend7288]

Oh good for you!!! He was awesome on those drums!!! I saw this episode on GSN as a small child. One of my favorite games!!!

[@jacquelinebell6201]

Fierce drumming in the first segment!

[@joanbrigid6987]

I thought Bud’s real brother was #3! He looks the most like him. They’re very good at pulling the wool over our eyes on this show.

8:27 That was pretty high tech for them to be able to project that moving image on the wall behind him back in 1958.

[@sixtythreekraft2608]

13:48 Bud Collyer has a very diplomatic way of giving the hook.

[@shirtless6934]

19:50 Collyer is their mother's maiden name.

[@ValleyoftheRogue]

Richard B. Heermance, younger brother of Bud Collyer, died in 1971. He was born in 1910. Mildred Savage died in 2010 (she was born in 1919). Michael Babatunde Olatunji was born in 1927 and died in 2003, as somebody in the comments mentioned.

[@AlexBerman]

This game is incredibly difficult - would love to see a remake

[@totellthetruthcbs4220]

It IS a very difficult, I totally agree. And believe it or not, a remake of TTTT just aired on ABC very recently, but by all reports, it was absolutely terrible!

[@algeborusas1883]

Terrible? It's an abomination. Check out the Mike Tyson as a panelist episode. The show should have been cancelled halfway through.

[@totellthetruthcbs4220]

And yet, I just heard the news that somehow, TTTT was renewed for next year. Taste knows no depths nowadays, I suppose.

[@jeprice08]

I only saw the first season and that was it. I thought Anthony Anderson as host was okay. Betty White was fine. On the whole, I felt they took the panel show I knew and loved and changed it into a late-night talk show. I really kind of hated the scorekeeper. I mean, there was really no need for her there.

[@TechGently]

@@totellthetruthcbs4220 It's horrible, the people in the 50's were far more intelligent and it's scary how bad it has gotten. Thanks to your channel for archiving this for us. My wife and I watch it often.

[@Steve27775]

My first thought on hearing about the Simon & Schuster book was how annoyed Bennett Cerf would've been to miss out on that one. I've been living in a Goodson-Todman world too long.

[@David-yw2lv]

Cerf was good friends with Simon & Shuster.He never had Random House to publish books he authored.His books were actually published by Simon and Shuster or Doubleday.

[@joeambrose3260]

Bud and June died at 61. Richard, a month before he turned 61 R I P

18:27 ".... Bud Collyer's brother ... whoever HE is! Hi, Dick!" ALL THREE: "Hi, Bud!" LOL!!

[@amberola1b]

I love how when Conrad Nagel holds up his card to vote who he thinks the real contestant is, he holds it up close to his face like hes holding up a product that hes endorsing. Lol.

[@loureviews]

All three Heermance/Collyer siblings died fairly young (around the age of 60). Odd.

[@519djw6]

Sorry to get on an "linguistic jag" here, but I'm wondering whether Bud Collyer's family was originally Dutch, as "Hermans" and "Heermans" are not uncommon Dutch names, and it seems that "Heermance" may have been an Anglicised version thereof.

[@tomservo56954]

How do you get to "Collyer" from that?

[@519djw6]

I have to assume that it was his "stage name."

[@grecomic]

Collyer is his mother's maiden name. She and Bud's grandfather were stage actors.

[@wattsjetton3027]

Celebrity Guests: 1. Polly Bergen 2. Conrad Nagel 3. Kitty Carlisle 4. Hy Gardner Host: Bud Collyer

[@kristabrewer9363]

I was curious about that to, why are their last names different?

[@joeambrose3260]

Bud took his mothers' maiden name as a stage name

[@sixtythreekraft2608]

22:40 Conrad had a point. He almost convinced me.

[@kristabrewer9363]

There was a remake of To Tell the Truth AND What's My Line. I've only seen a one episode of each. I only saw one episode of To tell the Truth only because I came across the episode that Bennet Cerf was on. And I saw one episode of What's My Line (only because Arlene was still on it; and her son was in the one I watched). But I can't see NEITHER of these shows even coming CLOSE to these ones

[@watchman1178]

Actually, I thought there was a pretty solid resemblance between Bud and his brother.

[@kevinbutler1126]

I wonder what has happened to Bud's brother..Richard B.Heermance?

[@leebrown1959]

Kevin Butler, according to Wikipedia, he was a film producer & film editor who passed away in 1971.

[@watchman1178]

@@leebrown1959 Unfortunately, the family was not blessed with long life. Bud only lived to be 61 or so.

[@jonvater8424]

"Parrish" was intended for Warren Beatty and Jane Fonda, but was made with Troy Donohue and Connie Stevens, with Claudette Colbert as his mother, in one of her latter performances.

[@sylviacohen8987]

I enjoy trying to figure be out the correct contestant

[@JJJBRICE]

Mr. Heermance looks more like Stu Ewin's brother than his brother in law . The closest to this scenio that WML did was when the mystery guest was John Daly's secretary at ABC news .

[@MrMenefrego1]

"If you lie you don't have to think." WHAT?!

[@519djw6]

Since Contestant # 1 in Game # 1 worked for the United Nations, I'm very surprised that he did not know that Swahili is the most widely-spoken language of East Africa. (I also thought it would have been wise of the panelists to ask them what their native language was, as only the real Babatunde Olatunji was actually from Nigeria.)

[@sambac2053]

But the Swahili are a tribe . The language is rooted in Bantu , which is a large family of languages, like Latin languages in Europe, was used asca trade language by Arabs, then Portugese, Brits, so lot’s of loan words

[@sambac2053]

Anyway Africa is an extremely large area -with 1500 languages, ir more. Thus people in any given region don’t necessarily know a lot about far removed culture groups

Time to grow up

[@VahanNisanian]

The impostor and real Richard B. Heermance are correct about the name of Bud's son, real first name of Bud, and where Bud and his wife live in.

[@waynehowell6160]

+Vahan Nisanian It wasn't much of a secret that Bud's real name was Clayton. When he was Kate Smith's announcer that was how he introduced himself, even though Miss Smith addressed him as "Bud."

[@kristabrewer9363]

Well, I HOPE the real one was correct about that

[@Bigbadwhitecracker]

Mildred Savage was hardly prolific en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mildred_Savage

[@tomservo56954]

She's James Patterson compared to Margaret Mitchell...

[@sweiland75]

I can't see how she could be financially independent, having published only three books over a long period of time. She must have relied mainly on her husband for financial support.

[@tomservo56954]

Many people don't write for the money...they do so because they have a need to say something. Besides, if she invested the PARRISH windfall wisely, combined with her husband's salary they certainly could have lived their lives in reasonable comfort.

[@snowden67]

With respect to the third game. Kitty is right when she says she has known Bud a long time. They dated early in their professional careers. To give the third game a modern Jerry Springer twist, after Bud's real brother is revealed, one of the other two should have admitted he is Bud's brother too - the product of an illicit one night-stand Bud's mother never told him about.

[@totellthetruthcbs4220]

+snowden67 Where are you getting this from?

[@sixtythreekraft2608]

How could kitty have dated Bud without ever having met the brother? Shouldn't she have disqualified herself?

[@kevinstephenson4674]

@@sixtythreekraft2608 Extremely possible. I saw a documentary once on Hollywood Kids. The son of actor Gig Young was attracted to a girl at a party, but thought her familiar.
