Will the Real William Gaines Please Stand Op?

Mad Magazine publisher Bill Gaines appeared on the game show To Tell the Truth in 1970, where four panelists try to guess which of three people is really Gaines. This video has the entire episode, of which Gaines is only in the second half. Amusing, this seems to have been recorded off cable using a VCR, and the digital dub is just the output from the VCR -- which includes showing the commercials being fast-forwarded! 😆 I also really love his expression when host Garry Moore finally asks, "Will the real William Gaines please stand up?" Dick DeBartolo also shows up on camera during the end credits. Enjoy!
