- Here's an episode of Truth or Consequences from 1966 with host Bob Barker.
This show was a lot of fun and a much better show than the price is right.
Too bad there are so few of these shows out there for the public to see. - Zábava
It was a much simpler time. It didn’t take much to entertain us back then. God bless Bob Barker. He passed away this morning at age 99.
One of my earliest memories is watching Truth or Consequences at my Grandma's house. Thank you so much for posting!
I remember watching it when I was a baby
Saw this as a kid in the 70s before Bob went on to Price is Right and loved it. Great show and Bob was a great human!!
He actually hosted Truth or Consequences until 1975 for 3 years while The Price Is Right was still a half an hour. I remember watching both growing up in the early 70s ❤.
@@alangray9117 Correct!
What a great host Bob Barker was. Witty and smooth. Loved his work
I remember watching this game show on TV. I loved the way it came on with laughter.
I love hearing the buzzer sound during the intro
Hello there, we've been waiting for you! It's time to play Truth (buzz) or Consequences!
I used to watch this show in 1969.
This bit is one of the best ones I can ever remember watching!😁
I was 6, and this was much as I recall. Thanks.
I was age 6 during 1966, but I loved this show. Where I lived in Kansas, it was on every weekday at 6:30 pm. It was so funny. I am surprised there has not been a reboot of it, with a new host.
Rip Bob Barker. Never knew he was on anything other thean the price is right 😅
In the 1960s my sister and I used to get a kick out of Truth or Consequences!
The funniest episode was in the latter years of the show and I wish I could remember when. It was an Alibaba scene with a magic carpet on a raised bench with a satin pillow to sit on. The the three men contestants didn't know, there was an electric prod inside the pillow that obviously put out a powerful shock when switched on. One by one Bob would have each man come out dressed to look like Alibaba. Their pants were also satin and very thin. Bob's beautiful assistant would sit next to each on a safe pillow. They would read a love line that said, "....come with me and we will fly this magic carpet up, up, and away! At that point someone would switch on the pillow and up the contestant would come, yelling as loud as he could, I wish someone could find that and post it on CZcams. It is priceless! I still can't stop laughing just thinking about it.
When Bob introduces the unicyclist he names him Scott, when he asks how long it takes to learn to ride he calls him Don, and again called him Don when he said, "join me over here" when they moved closer to the contestants. I loved the show, rarely missed it in my elementary school years.
One word - Zany. Old school TV really pushed the limits and most of the stuff they did would never be allowed today. Way too many lawyers looking to cash in on the misfortune, or stupidity, of others.
You're right when I saw him fall all I could think was lawsuit in today's world
I think the very first McDonalds drive in was in San Bernadino wasn't it? I know it was somewhere in southern California. Nice seeing T or C with Bob Barker. I haven't seen this very often.
My uncle was in this show in the 70s. Stood outside keeping the attention of people while talking to them. Family can't find this episode. His name is Joe Catania. If you see it please share with me
I just loved it when they did surprising reunions of relatives or friends who hadn't seen each other for years or decades. The ending always brought me to tears of happiness. 😊
i think the show you are thinking of is "This Is Your Life"
@@MickeyMousePark No. They did some in Truth or Consequences also. There was one where a lady was to ask Bob some questions that only she and her husband would know. Bob had a crystal ball on the table. All along, Bob pretended to be using the crystal ball, and gave her the right anwers. All along, her husband was under the table, giving him the answers by a microphone wired between him and Bob. They finally met. Her husband had been overseas for sometime. Many of those surprising reunions are on CZcams, under TRUTH OR CONSEQUENCES SURPRISING REUNIONS.
I believe this color kinescope exists because when "Truth or Consequences" moved into syndication in the mid 1960's, not all stations picking up the show could play back color tape, so color kinescopes were made for those stations not yet having color videotape playback capabilities.
Announcer Charlie Lyons as also heard saying, "Don't miss the next thrill-packed episode in "The Adventures of Superman.' Superman is based on the original character appearing in Superman Magazine." He made those announements over the closing credits on the color episodes as well as announcing "The Adventures of Superman!" over the opening of the episodes starting with the show's second season.
And was Kellogg's announcer in most of the commercials seen on the program.
"KELLOGG'S!!! 'The Greatest Name in Cereals', presents........'THE ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN'!"
This somehow makes me wanna go out and buy a unicycle for myself - a regular sized one at least.
"It's time to play Truth ... eeehhh ... or Consequences! LOL! I luv it!
This is cool...This show ran on KTTV in Los Angeles for years. I remember watching it as a kid when my mom would watch it. I also remember when Bob Barker looked that young!!
And this show also aired in the Louisville area on WHAS and in the Lexington area on what was then WBLG (now WTVQ).
I remember watching it as a baby. The sound of the buzzer used to drive me crazy, but now I love it
That's Charlie Lyon, also an associate producer, who held the same position all the way back to Ralph Edwards' original run on radio. Lyon was the announcer for the famous "Truth or Consequenses" episode that was broadcast from and celebrated Hot Springs, NM as it was re-christened Truth or Consequenses, NM.
Charlie Lyons was also the commercial announcer on "The Adventures Of Superman"TV Show.
miss you guys we worked in montreal Vive les girls 1965
kathy mckee casting director
Nice way to end the clip. Very suspenseful.
This has a Beat The Clock feel to it.
Looks like possible injury. No way on that tall thang...it lookd intimidating just to hold up lol
How did you get this footage? My brother and mom came to the US from Korea to be reunited with my father who was in the Army at the time. They came in August 1960 and I'd love to track down footage for a 50 year anniversary party.
CBS needs to reboot Truth or Consequences, in light of Bob Barker’s passing. And should have George Gray (TPIR’s announcer) as its host.
Ahh, the liability of it all. Those guys could’ve been seriously hurt. They didn’t know about lawsuits back then lol.
I thought the mill worker was going to turn out to be an expert rider. "Wow, this is easier than it looks, come on McDonald's man, you can do this too."
That was hilarious though.
No fat jokes today. Also the mill worker fell pretty hard, that could be a lawsuit today. 😞
Where ever he is now? Bob is not alone..he's up in Heaven with his wife Dorothy Joe,His Mom..Tilly and Charlie Lyons(his asso.Producer and announcer on "Truth Or Consequences"...and Charlie is saying right now"Hello There..We've been waiting for you to come thru The Pearly Gates..Bob".
No contestant on Truth or Consequences has ever told the truth bc the questions are so hard and they only have like half a second to answer the questions
That's none other than Johnny Olsen himself. They'd both go on to The Price Is Right.
Johnny was on the East Coast at the time, announcing "WHAT'S MY LINE?" {New York} and "THE JACKIE GLEASON SHOW" {Miami Beach}.
Truth or Consequences
just a question out there to fans of TOC. If GSN said quite a few years ago that they were thinking of running the syndicated Truth or Consequences on their network, who or where were they going to get the tapes/films from? It sounded like someone has them,. Does anyone have a thought. Thanks
@OldWorldTelevision
I'm almost sure it's Johnny Olson.
Charlie Lyon was the announcer throughout Barker's run as host, from 1956-75, and Johnny didn't look anything like the unicyclist.
Weeknights, 7:30pm, WNEW-TV (a Metromedia station), New York.
@ 6:55 The mill worker struggling to get on the tall cycle was hilarious. His facial expressions were especially funny.
Poor Bernie the Mickie D's manager though. He looked extremely embarrassed & akward with the fat jokes.
Anyone know what the warm-up joke was?
Nowadays I'm sure the show's insurance company wouldn't allow them to fall on their face on TV.
Bill Cullen was the best
By way of the grey line.
Oh yes it could fly. See "Fear Factor"
light drinker?... that had to be the worst joke he ever told.
I was thinking the show where bring out 3 &2 r imposter. What one was that?
How can I license this footage for use?
I always wondered what made the audience laugh like that in the openings.
Many times they had two burly men struggling to put on corsets.
Ha! Really??
i live in truth or consequences new mexico they changed the name of the town from hot springs to truth or consequences
That was done in 1950, when Ralph Edwards was the host and the show was on radio.
@frankp3
Did you ever get an answer to your question? I have heard they had a costumed chimpanzee who would be revelaed and do some funny stunt. Do you know for shure what they did?
Someone mentioned they would have two burly men struggling into corsets. I had heard somewhere that Johnny Olson would tell a dirty joke seconds before airtime. Still don't know for sure!
Who Bob referred to on an episode of The Price Is Right when he made a mistake in Johnny Olson's name.
Who was the opening announcer on this show?
Charlie Lyon. He announced the show throughout the Barker era (1956-75). As someone else noted, he was the voice who said, "Don't miss the next thrill-packed episode in the amazing 'Adventures of Superman'! Superman is based on the original character appearing in Superman magazine!" He was also Gene Autry's announcer on radio.
He was also the announcer on Kellogg's "WILD BILL HICKOK" on radio (1951-'54), and the overall announcer on the four consecutive quarter-hour daytime prorgams General Mills sponsored on NBC at 2pm(et) in the mid-1940's {"THE GUIDING LIGHT", "TODAY'S CHILDREN", "WOMAN IN WHITE" and "HYMNS OF ALL CHURCHES"/"THE BETTY CROCKER (SERVICE) PROGRAM" [Fridays]}.
The millworker must think he's living in a nightmare when they force him to climb again after falling hard. Lawsuit!
Charles Lyon
Dangerous television...

I am a casting director in Michigan and on facebook and all over internet
Funny that Bob asked if he could go all the way around on the unicycle. If he didn't, the audience would've booed him, IFKWIM.
Back then, people had actual jobs and performed actual work. There were no cushy bs positions such as "operations manager" or "performance analyst", nor were people selling non-essential beauty and grooming products online. Everyone was expected to actually WORK. Technology, unfortunately, has led to idleness and nonproductivity. We have way too much leisure time today.
Yeah like everybody's at home collecting welfare.
One of the greatest men of all time!
STOP DRINKING MILK!
That was the cornyest riddle on that show.
Could you imagine people dressing and acting like this today? Boy, have we lost our way. Cultural Marxism has destroyed our once common culture. :(
Unwatchable, stretched out of proportion. Reset it with black bars each side!
