This was fun- thanks for the channel!
The year of this episode, 1957, Ken Strong, contestant in game 3 was inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame. In 1969 he was named to the NFL 1930's All-Decade Team.
Enshrined into the Pro Football HOF in 1967. He had quite an interesting career!
Now that wasn't hard at all for Polly Bergen in game 3. She looked at the ears. I am glad that they finally asked why each panelist voted for whom they did in game 3. Thanks for the video.
Game 3: Hy Gardner seems to be an expert on boxing and Polly Bergen on bridge.
Tommy Loughran, lightheavyweight champ, starts at about 17:30 (last contest)
imposter Ken Strong former football player is in the Pro football hall of fame
Wow, Abe Burrows didn't smoke. On later shows, he lit up the stage a lot.
there is a classic movie called the pickpocket from 1959 by Robert Bresson, i like to think that the movie was inspired by this episode of T.T.T.T. LOL
Wow. The Panel hit a grand slam in Game 3.
*****
Why did Abe Burrows expect the former prize fighter to know about aardvarks and 3-toed sloths?
SaveThe TPC Beets me.
+SaveThe TPC Because he was an expert at crossword puzzles.
In the first segment, liar #1 at 5:11 pointed to the real guest (#2) inadvertently and the panel didnt pick up on it. Also: the "one last question" is actually a good follow-up which was not used (or rarely) in the next seasons. First episode Ive seen so far when Bud picks up the ballots haha. The show was still evolving.
I wonder how they find the people they invite as imposters
Oh! I JUST read about this!
The producers ran want ads in some of the local New York newspapers, since they often needed “types” to fill the imposter roles, (such as beefy men who could pass for professional boxers or attractive women who looked like models but were really rodeo champions. What they didn’t want were professional (or aspiring) actors, believing that to be a convincing imposter, you had to be an Average Joe with no acting experience.
A team of production assistants often spent their afternoons wandering the streets near the studio plucking folks out of lines at bus stops, Broadway ticket booths, and waiting for tables at restaurants as possible fakes. An out-of-own accent was a definite plus, since many of the “real” contestants were from distant parts of the country. The producers interviewed an average of 80 hopefuls each week to fulfill their requirement of 20 imposters.
I am just getting into Tell the Truth after a long run of What's My Line and never sawy this 'ballot collecting business before and it is AWFUL and almost as bad as the 'Walk of Shame' on What's My Line. Glad they dumped it.
For the last contestant I knew it was not #3 when he got the Duplicate Bridge question so wrong. When you're a pro-Bridge player you know what that is.
I'm guessing that those were not their actual wallets and wristwatch- they wouldn't want any hard feelings.

I'm here just for Polly.
Abe Burrows is fun, as always.
Not far behind Hal Block as my least favorite
@@joeambrose3260 You and Hal Block are just alike, you are both complete a-holes.
Game #2: that regalia is stunning 🤩 Anyways, can someone confirm that the lady has some affiliation to the Thai royal family?
What did number two mean when he said he was an honest pickpocket I wonder considering that he was sworn to tell the truth I really do Wonder.
I prefer the panel of Tom Poston, Peggy Cass and Kitty Carlyle and whoever the fourth person is really doesn’t matter but I definitely like those three. Johnny Carson wasn’t that bad either.
I don't really like Abe Burrows. Glad he wasn't a regular.
why would a pickpocket broadcast it?
He's an entertainer.
As the pick pocket guy leaves the studio, he is arrested. Lol. (I’m sure the police weren’t watching the show. 😂
Lol #2 was the only one that declared he was an "honest" pickpocket performer. I was wondering why the other two were foolishly taking the angle of being thieves until it was revealed that they both worked in law enforcement IRL!
#3 spoke in Japanese.
Not in Thai.
He asked her to speak in her native language, clearly Japanese was her native language.
@@TheKazadoodle thanks Bud
And noone knew the difference, on the panel anyway.
@@jacquelinebell6201 *And no one on the panel knew the difference.
i d say two, for rollin, he looks schemy lol
Only #2 was full-blooded Chinese.
***** Oh, right.
Why would a tv station allow a criminal onto the show. They all seemed to treat the pickpocket like a respectable person.
He isn't a criminal.
@@peternagy-im4be Then how does his affadvit say so?
@@abhinavs5213 ffs, if you LISTENED to his answers you would have learned he was an entertainer, and he did pickpocketing in his act!
Man #2 in Game #1
Lady #2 in Game #2
Man #1 in Game #3
