Liar's Club is an American game show, originally produced by Ralph Andrews, featuring a panel of celebrity guests who offered explanations of obscure or unusual objects.
Another version of the show aired during the 1988–89 season as The New Liar's Club; Eric Boardman hosted the program, and former emcee Bill Armstrong originally served as announcer, but was later replaced by Ted Friend.
A panel of four celebrity guests was presented with an unusual object, and each panelist gave an explanation of its use; one was correct, while the other three were bluffing.
When Ludden took over as host in 1977, the game format largely remained the same, but the maximum wager in each round was changed from $100 to half of the contestant's current bank.
Except from 1977 to 1979, the last round of the game featured artwork (or a very large device on occasion during the 1988-89 run) presented before the panel and contestants.
During the 1977–78 season, the final round consisted of each celebrity describing his/her own unusual item instead of just a single object or piece of art.
If this did not break the tie, the contestants then revealed predictions each had made regarding their final score prior to the start of the game.
Like The New Liar's Club, the show was produced by Blair Murdoch and featured Pete Barbutti as a regular panelist.
Four Star International syndicated The New Liar's Club in the U.S. during its 1988-89 season; all episodes exist and were first rerun in Canada on Prime during 1999-2000, then by Game TV from 2012 to 2015 and again since 2022.
