To Tell The Truth

I had a brilliant idea.

You know that Hollywood has its’ own version of physics principle “The Law of Conservation” where it states that energy (in this case original entertainment ideas) can change from one form into another, but it cannot be created or destroyed.

So I pitched an idea that seemed to fit their ‘norm’. We’d do a version of ‘To Tell The Truth‘. Repackage this old successful game show by using old cameras and broadcasting styles, making it very retro with the soft blurry image, and use modern celebs as the contestants. We would turn it on it’s ear though and have a single, randomly picked audience member to ask them questions to see if the contestant could tell if it was the truth.

To sweeten the deal and to insure acceptance I would populate the panel with prominent Democrats for the most part.

It was wildly accepted by NBC.  You knew it would be.

So we assembled the panel. Besides yours truly, we had Jen Psake, Transportation Secretary Pete Budegudge and President Joe Biden.

It can’t miss!

Then came the first day of taking. We were ready. I could feel the vibe.

It was a total failure. No one on the panel could tell the truth about anything!

I was thrown off the studio lot and told never to return.
