Although last year, demo ratings for the To Tell the Truth TV show dropped a skosh, it rose in terms of average total viewers. Now back for a fourth season, can it post growth in both columns? Will To Tell the Truth be cancelled or renewed for season five? Stay tuned. *Status update below.
An ABC game show, hosted by Anthony Anderson, To Tell the Truth features a panel of four celebrities who are presented with three people who all claim to be the same person with the same incredible talent, job, or achievement. One is sworn to tell the truth, while the others are not. Panelists this season include Oliver Hudson, Justin Long, Snoop Dogg, Amanda Seales, Anna Camp, Joel McHale, Ron Funches, Kirstie Alley, Angela Kinsey, Alyssa Edwards, Fortune Feimster, and Adam Rodriguez. Anderson’s mother, Doris, returns with commentary, too.

*11/20/19 update: ABC has renewed this and six other game shows for Summer 2020.
I like the show overall.
But both the host and some panelists are extremely racist. I have MANY video clips to back this up.
Momma Dorris has NO useful purpose on the show and needs to GO.
Few of the panelist (one named Tom something) ask beyond inappropriate questions
It seems like the stars on the show are there to entertain each other and not the audience. I would either redo it or cancel it!
I lv this show I’m 63 and remember the old one
I want to know why the old mother is on the show ??? She has no purpose , she just sits there. I think it crazy, don’t like
I will never watch that show again
Great show I love watching it. I see by the demographics they are only looking at people who are younger . No wonder a lot of the new tv shows are crappy. There are still plenty of older people that watch tv and not just because they have too. Its like these critics think the older generation doesn’t count. I bet more of the older one watch more tv than the younger crowd. They are on their phones or playing games.
Thoroughly enjoy the Sunday Night game shows. They balance the day’s programming of Sunday Morning magazine, News shows and then the games. I love the modern version of Tell the Truth. Please renew.
I laugh at the show and am amazed at the contestants’ passions in life. I don’t think it is racist. That is not it’s focus . Keep it on. It’s better than a lot of other shows
I agree it is just tiresome I use remote
I love the show look at the every Sunday and I guess along with the celebrity panel. It’s a fun show to me!
In today’s day and age putting a DUNCE CAP on what you call Failure is NOT ok! The world is full of bullying and harsh at that! So maybe think about it and get rid of the hat. Promote goodness not bullying. This isn’t funny it’s offensive. No matter what color your skin is!!
I just watched the episode that aired on 7-14-2019. I could not be more disappointed. They had a lady that supposedly was inducted into the baseball hall of fame, Toni Palermo. One, there are no women inducted into the baseball hall of fame, and two she only played 2 seasons with the league and was not part of the regular league just the barnstorming teams. Women of the AAGBPL have displays in the baseball hall of fame, since ‘88, but the hall has not inducted them.
June 30th show was sickening and degrading. Ron and Kirsties attempt at humor was a turnoff.

The Kirstie and Ron are annoying. Their attemps at humor were degrading. Pick better panelists. I shut the TV off when Ron started asking about porn. SICKENING
