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. Contestants attempted to determine which explanation was correct in order to win prizes.
Liar's Club was first seen in 1969 with Rod Serling as host, and returned for a three-season run from 1976–79, after airing as a local series on Los Angeles' KTLA in 1974-75 season. Bill Armstrong hosted the program in the 1970's, and was later succeeded by Allen Ludden. Bill Berry and Joe Seiter sharing the announcing duties. Celebrity attorney/actress/producer Vicki Roberts was a regular researcher on the show, and brought-in many of the strange objects that were found by scouring local antique shops in the Los Angeles area.
Another version of the show aired from 1988–89 as The New Liar's Club; Chicago-native Eric Boardman hosted the program, and former emcee Bill Armstrong served as announcer. This version was produced by Blair Murdoch at CKVU-TV in Vancouver.
