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.

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 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!!
Not impressed..the host seems to have the need to promote his blackness. After 3 minutes, I turned of that program. I’m not a racist, but if some white guy was the host and proclaimed white hosts are the coolest, we would hear about it for days from the media, and to tell the truth would be canceled. It’s just “.black “ people think they have some kind of pass, talking about their “ blackish “ ABC doesn’t get it… especially during the morning news… we have to be fead the last crap some movie star of celebrity is into.

I agree
I agree with you 100%! My husband and I watched the show last night 08/25/2019. Anthony Anderson should not be able to make the comments that he makes nor should his mom. Talking about his mom, why is she on the show? Does she get paid? Jane Lynch doesn’t have her mom on her show, nor does Ellen DeGeneres. If the show is a platform for the host to make racist comment, then sorry to say, it should be canceled!
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
I think the host and his mother and some people on the panel appear to be racist, I used to love the show with out the political stuff, would love to watch a show for pure entertainment,
I agree it is just tiresome I use remote
