To Tell the Truth - "I invented a fictional student admitted to Princeton!" (Sep 14, 1964)

[@doctorjames7454]

Just chiming in to say that this panel is my all time favorite on TTTT.

[@Rodin99]

agree, this is the panel I remember, although I recall certain things about earlier dated shows.

[@Walterwhiterocks]

I much preferred Polly Bergen to Peggy Cass and Don Ameche to the "always trying to be funny but rarely is "Orson Bean.

[@kristabrewer9363]

You're joking The only GOOD thing they did was get rid of Polly Bergan. Peggy Cass and Orson Bean were AWFUL on this show!!! But yea, Don Ameche was ok, and so was Ralph Bellamy (and Betty White; well she makes ANY show)

[@doctorjames7454]

@@kristabrewer9363 Peggy and Orson were great. Polly was awful.

[@rhondagiesbrecht4901]

Me too

[@CDU916]

Absolutely LOVED when Orson Bean received his comeuppance from the horseshoe girl. Proof that sometimes it can backfire if you practice deceptive questioning. "Reverse curve" indeed!

[@stevenscarborough6221]

My wife’s 2nd cousin is T. R. Reid III. Good episode!

[@kenyongray2615]

The horseshoe champion was a lovely young lady. #3 in that game was gorgeous. Very creative student. Bud made his job look easy. Orson was an offbeat kind of guy right up to his death.

[@ThatsViews]

I knew that the aquanaut was Number 1 from the reveal. Why? The perfect military crease in his trousers. Every time they had a military person on, they always have sharply pressed trousers.

[@doctorjames7454]

Amazing that, back then, there were 5,000 applicants to Princeton and they accepted 1,100. Last year they had nearly 30,000 applicants and they accepted 1,908 new students.

[@elliebellie7816]

The Blimp Guy!!! How cool!

[@dejpsyd0421]

I GOT IT!, I GOT IT!!! Without even listening to the questions…I knew by the introductions!!! IM A BODY LANGUAGE EXPERT!!! 😅

[@desertbreeze69]

My favorite panel 👍

[@Walterwhiterocks]

I prefer Polly Bergen or Dina Merrill over Peggy Cass. Bean ceased to be funny early on in his tenure on TTTT.

[@kristabrewer9363]

lol, ok (only good thing they did was get rid of Polly Bergan). I can't BELIEVE they keep Peggy and Orson on here!!

[@rhondagiesbrecht4901]

Me too

[@Greenwings701]

That was great with the horseshoes champ!

[@catbriggs8362]

I knew it was No. 1 (Underwater Lab) because, when he replied to a question, he added, "Sir." Sounds military to me.

[@landibear6509]

He interestingly enough also trained Scott Carpenter, one of the original Mercury 7 Astronauts, to become an Aquanaut.

[@rhondagiesbrecht4901]

The “sir” thing is the reason I thought it was # 2!

[@SherryAnnOfTheWest]

I always want to know what became of the contestants ... whatever happened to Thomas R. Reed III???

[@dLimboStick]

This aired the day I was born.

[@dcasper8514]

Oh, well !!

[@mikeq5807]

It is rather interesting to observe what actually happened on the date of one's birth. I was born August 21, 1959, around 8:30am, EST. Hawaii became a state at 4pm, same day.

[@jimmygoodrich9590]

I guess you're old then 😅😅😅😅

[@miamidolphinsfan]

# 3 on the 3rd game really did give it away...but I loved their story about the admissions !! Another great episode !!! Thank you for the upload

[@kristabrewer9363]

I wonder if they got fined or jailed for what they did

[@TechGently]

@@kristabrewer9363 I don't think my Grandfather would have demanded they get jailed, he was a Registrar (verifying enrollment, maintenance of records, etc) at Princeton U, as well as the Head Swimming Coach back (two roles, took his coaching more seriously) then so he probably laughed it off, and more of a lesson the next time around to be more careful. The admissions team would have referred that to him I believe after that snafu, I don't remember him talking about it though.

[@poetcomic1]

Orson Bean says "I counted out #3 because I asked here what a reverse spin ringer is and she told me, even though I just made it up."

[@litealite]

#1 Sue Gillespie had a dazzling smile !!

[@JayTemple]

One way or another, it seems like they had a lot of people connected with the World's Fair.

[@billbryant7194]

JayTemple I hadn't noticed that but a lot of the British fakes seem to have worked for BOAC , Which I assume was a ready supply of brits for the show.

[@Greenwings701]

Wish they had featured him!

[@dLimboStick]

20:51 "Getting into Princeton is not that serious of an event." Wow! That didn't age well.

[@Greenwings701]

The casual and inadvertent confession of class and wealth; it probably wasn't that hard for him to get into Princeton. The eye rolling - ug. Even a panel of Hollywood folks knew that flying was still not a regular event for most people.

[@taofanarchy96-renzomaracas14]

Game #3 is the equivalent of the 😎 emoji.

[@jacquelinebell6201]

1 month til I turned 4. Basically 60 years ago. Wow.

[@kenbrown438]

Buddy's hair is really dark tonight !!!!

[@ChrisHansonCanada]

Man #1 in Game #1 (Peggy looked at Tom at 1:09 after he farted). Lady #1 in Game #2 Man #3 in Game #3 Despite the video glitches, a most enjoyable episode!

[@dejpsyd0421]

#3 on 3 he’s laughing during the introduction…

[@adco]

That’s a lot of ringers. Johnny Olsen worked for these guys a long time

[@dejpsyd0421]

I’m guessing #3 for the first round….

[@dejpsyd0421]

😮 OMG. I WAS WRONG 😮

[@kristabrewer9363]

I wonder if the 3rd group got fined or jailed for what they did

[@dejpsyd0421]

#2 for second round…

[@jonvater8424]

Horseshoe girl #3 was so pretty! Loved her hair. (#1 was very cute, too.) I thought it was going to wind up being #2 who put me in the mind of Charlotte Greenwood, and the woman's name turned out to be Charlotte!

[@jackbusby9602]

Kitty was catty tonight.

[@kenbrown438]

Is Peggy wearing a hair wig !!!!????

[@jimmygoodrich9590]

Nope it's a skin wig

[@dejpsyd0421]

😮 wrong again! But #1 is HOT!

[@frikandelthaisaus]

"The-HEHE-se three gentlemen all claim to be Thomas R. Reed III, cocreator of a strictly ficti-HIHI-tious and nonexistent Jo-HOHO-seph David Oznot." Bud Collyer was not able to talk without putting fake laughter into his sentences, it seems!

[@ADAMSIXTIES]

16:00 Me Tooers' heads just exploded.

[@barbarak2836]

Whatever are you talking about?
