I like to watch old game show videos on YouTube. I have a memory of an episode  
of “To Tell The Truth” that I am unsure about. This episode featured a police officer  
who wrote a book titled “I, Pig”. The panelist Orson Bean began his questioning of one of contestants by addressing him as “pig number one” (or two or three as appropriate)". Bean was admonished by the host Garry Moore. I believe one of the  
contestants also had something to say to Bean about his questioning.

Am I only imagining this? Did something like this really happen? I can’t find any  
mention of this.

Thanks.

Since this is about a TV show, let’s move it to Cafe Society (from GQ).

I’m glad I didn’t imagine it all. I hope I will someday learn if the rest of the story is as I remember it.

Thanks again.

Sorry for posting in the wrong forum.
