“To Tell the Truth” returns this summer with a star-studded celebrity panel on WEDNESDAY, JUNE 21 (10:00–11:00 p.m. EDT), featuring Justin Long, Arielle Kebbel, Nikki Glaser and Kal Penn. The panel is presented with a variety of participants with interesting traits, from the only person in the world to bike to the South Pole to the “Doggy Designer to the Stars,” as well as Usher’s choreographer.

Hosted by Anthony Anderson, “To Tell the Truth” is a funny re-imagination of the beloved game show by the same name. The all-new version takes the excitement to another level, featuring fun characters from pop culture. Anderson’s mother, Mama Doris, is also part of the fun as commentator.

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.

“To Tell the Truth” is produced by FremantleMedia North America. David Friedman, Jennifer Mullin, Jeff Gaspin, George Moll and Anthony Anderson are executive producers.
