Truth Or Consequences 12 12 42

Ralph Edwards

Truth or Consequences was a radio quiz show that aired on NBC from 1940 to 1956. Hosted by Ralph Edwards, the “Truth” portion involved the participants answering an off-the-wall question in just two seconds. The questions were formulated in such a way that the participant would not be able to answer them.

In cases where the question was answered correctly, there would be two or three follow-up questions. The idea was to make the participant go to the “Consequences” part of the show, where he or she would be asked to perform silly, embarrassing stunts.
