It was a sweeps stunt for the ages in November 1990.
NBC & Mark Goodson decided to bring back a trio of now-adult challengers who had appeared on the syndicated To Tell The Truth in 1972. The common link? Panelist Kitty Carlisle.
John Cher appeared as a youth in 1972, and would fulfill his dream of being a fashion designer by the time he and his imposters returned to Truth 18 years later. Carlisle is joined by baseball player-turned-cable personality Jay Johnstone, Vicki Lawrence-Schultz (as she was known back then), and another old school Truth regular, Orson Bean.
In game 2, Terry Rakolta, who launched a one woman crusade against Fox's Married...With Children a year earlier, is the subject.
Lynn Swann is the moderator.
