''To Tell the Truth'' is an American television panel game show created by Bob Stewart and produced by Goodson-Todman Productions that has aired in various forms since 1956 both on networks and in syndication. Along with ''The Price Is Right,'' ''Let's Make a Deal,'' ''The Newlywed Game,'' and ''Jeopardy!,'' it is one of five game shows in the United States to have aired at least one new episode in at least six consecutive decades, with a seventh decade version slated in 2015 (matched only by ''The Price Is Right''). A total of 25 seasons of the various versions of ''To Tell the Truth'' have been produced, tying that of ''What's My Line?'' and surpassing the 20 of ''I've Got a Secret.'' The show features a panel of four celebrities whose object is the correct identification of a described contestant who has an unusual occupation or experience. This central character is accompanied by two impostors who pretend to be the central character; together, the three persons are said to belong to a "team of challengers." The celebrity panelists question the three contestants; the impostors are allowed to lie but the central character is sworn "to tell the truth". After questioning, the panel attempts to identify which of the three challengers is telling the truth and is thus the central character. ==Game play== Three challengers are introduced, all claiming to be the central character. The announcer typically asks the challengers, who stand side by side, "What is your name, please?" Each challenger then states, "My name is (character's name )." The celebrity panelists then read along as the host reads aloud a signed affidavit about the central character. The panelists are each given a period of time to question the challengers. Questions are directed to the challengers by number (Number One, Number Two and Number Three), with the central character sworn to give truthful answers, and the impostors permitted to lie and pretend to be the central character. After questioning is complete, each member of the panel votes on which of the challengers they believe to be the central character, either by writing the number on a card or holding up a card with the number of their choice, without consulting the other panelists. Any panelist who knows one of the challengers or has another unfair advantage is required to recuse ("disqualify") himself or herself which, for scoring purposes, is counted as a "wrong vote." Once the votes are in, the host asks, "Will the real (name ) please stand up?" The central character then stands, often after some brief playful feinting and false starts among all three challengers. Occasionally, the central character would be asked to do something else related to their story instead of standing up. The two impostors then reveal their real names and their actual occupations. Prize money is awarded to the challengers based on the number of incorrect votes the impostors draw. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「To Tell the Truth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
