SYNOPSIS

Contestants on this game show were shown an unusual looking object, then each of a panel of four celebrities gave an outlandish but plausible explanation as to its use. The contestant then had to wager all or part of an initial $100 on which panelist was telling the truth.

Rod Serling hosted an early and rather obscure version of the show. It returned in 1976 with Bill Armstrong and then Allen Ludden as host. Larry Hovis was the regular panelist on the later show, joined frequently by Betty White, Dick Gautier, and others.

Another revival, titled The New Liar's Club, aired during the 1988-1989 season.
