Watch Hunter S. Thompson on 1967 TV game show "To Tell The Truth"

Hunter Thompson on "To Tell the Truth" (February 20, 1967)


A year after Hunter S. Thompson published his pioneering gonzo journalism book “Hell’s Angels,” he appeared on the wonderful TV game show “To Tell The Truth.” Bud Collyer hosted with a panel of actors/entertainers Tom Poston, Peggy Cass, Barry Nelson, Kitty Carlisle.


On the show, three people claim to be a particularly interesting or notable person described by the host. One is really that person, the other two are imposters. The panelists must ask questions to identify who isn’t lying.
