Bud Collyer was the show’s host (Mike Wallace hosted the pilot); recurring panelists by the 1960s included Tom Poston, Peggy Cass, Orson Bean, and Kitty Carlisle. Earlier regular panelists had included Johnny Carson, Polly Bergen, Jayne Meadows, Don Ameche, Hy Gardner, Dick Van Dyke, Hildy Parks, John Cameron Swayze, and Ralph Bellamy. Bern Bennett, Collyer’s announcer on Beat the Clock, was the lead voice of To Tell The Truth in the 1950s. Upon Bennett’s transfer to CBS’ Los Angeles studios, Johnny Olson joined the show in 1960 and remained through the end of its CBS runs.

Thanks for the info.

There are some who seem to be famous just for being panelists as Betty White was for a time (back in the era when Y.A. Tittle was just retiring from being the Giants QB).

But who are those four in the pic? The Dick Clark looking one could be Bob Cummiong but he looks a bit more like Dick Clark.
