Hosted by Anthony Anderson, TO TELL THE TRUTH is an anarchic and funny re-imagination of the beloved game show of the same name. The all-new version takes the excitement to another level, featuring fun characters from pop culture. Anderson presides over legend Betty White (who has appeared on previous versions of the show), actress NENE LEAKES and NBA star, ESPN/ABC analyst Jalen Rose. Anderson's mother, Doris, is also part of the fun, keeping score throughout the game.

In each round the panel is 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. The panel of celebrities has a chance to grill each participant before taking turns deciding who they think is telling the truth.

In "To Tell the Truth" Episode 101, Saturday, May 27 (8:00-9:00 p.m. EDT) Tracee Ellis Ross joins our panel. Anthony Anderson has more than just his mother to worry about when his co-star and TV wife from "black-ish" is part of the game. Guests include America's fastest texter, Taylor Swift's high school sweetheart and somebody who likes to think inside the box - a contortionist.

In "To Tell the Truth" Episode 103, Saturday, May 27 (9:00-10:00 p.m. EDT) With Mike Tyson joining the panel, we have a knock-out line-up of talent that includes a seven-time lottery winner and the woman who was the original voice of Siri. If there's time, we might even squeeze in a wedding to someone who has been married more than forty times.

"To Tell the Truth" is produced by FremantleMedia North America. Barry Poznick, Toby Gorman, Jeff Gaspin, George Moll and Anthony Anderson are executive producers.
