My favorite game show ever was one that was only on late at night in the early 80’s where the celebrity panel (Betty White et al) would show the contestants a weird cryptic object. Then they’d each have a different explanation of what it was for. Three would be lying, and one not; the contestant had to guess who was right. The only object I remember for sure was a mayonnaise viscosity tester. Yes, I know. I’m weird. ---
