After debuting in on CBS, the show was revived over the years. The most recent season was on GSN in The premise was for 16 contestants to appear on the show for a full week as they solved riddles and increased the value of the jackpot. Eventually, the final two contestants would split the prize.

The format, however, remained the same as always: A team of three contestants, one the actual person associated with a story and two imposters, tried to fool the four-member celebrity panel.
An affidavit relating a person's story is read sometimes funny; sometimes serious; sometimes inspirational; sometimes having to do with their profession, political activity or cause they were actively involved in; but always interesting. The celebrity panelists, one at a time, question the three contestants addressing them by No.
After all four celebrities have had their turn to question the team, they voted separately as to who they thought was the real person associated with the story. Often, the contestants were invited to demonstrate their skill; other times, skits and film vignettes were used to illustrate the person's story. Two such games were played per show.

Prior to the restoration, he had graduated college, met and married, had two kids and one dog. Said panellist was the news presenter Debbie Rix, who mentioned this at the start, so she was not allowed to ask any questions, simply to give her vote after her colleagues had given theirs.
This was, as far as we know, the only time that such a thing happened, but there may have been others, given the show's longevity. Among the notable contestants who appeared in the later series was Richard Crane during the Garden-era , who would later host Survival Challenge for the BBC - his claim to fame being that he ran the Himalayas. Another during the Dinenage-era this time was the World War II telegraph operator, who was the first person to receive the news that the Germans had surrendered in He had previously appeared on I've Got a Secret.
We also saw the late, great Ivy Benson, the bandleader: all four panellists guessed correctly when it came to identifying her. There was also a man who was the loudest snorer in Britain: while he and the other three contestants were being questioned, much was made of how his wife put up with it. The answer was that she was a bit deaf in one ear. This, incidentally, was the same edition in which the frog and toad expert had appeared - see under 'Synopsis' above. Oh, and let's not forget the Dinenage-hosted edition in which the contestant in the final game was a knife-thrower.
Anyway, all went well and Dinenage survived the scary experience, but it left him drained and with little to say for himself at the end - and that took some doing, since he was normally very rarely at a loss for words.
