To Tell the Truth is mentioned as having shot a pilot on July 31, 1980. If this is any help, I just got an episode shot on that date and the celebrities were John Wade, Susan Lucci, Bill Cullen and Polly Bergan. The slate states 80-35. The a/v are out-of-sync and it has a time code. It does have the unedited footage noted in a previous post, and was hosted by Robin Ward.
Clearer...or more confusing?

Clearer. If you look at Marshall's
site, that matches up perfectly with week 7, and if it's #35, that would be the Friday from the week. I'm guessing more and more that the remembrance of the person on ATGS probably saw it in '79.
I'll try to put up Duel in the Daytime up tonight. The set, sound effects and just the general noise level would have had Chuck Barris going whoa there Jay, you have to chill. It was like having a game show at Medevial Times.
