ABC is rebooting the classic game show "To Tell the Truth" and a star-studded cast already signed on, including Betty White, NeNe Leakes and Anthony Anderson.
Anderson, the star of "Black-ish," will host the six-episode series, and White, who appeared in the original series, and Leakes will be among the featured panelists, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The reboot is being described as "an anarchic and funny imagination of the original series that ran for more than 20 years."
"The panelists will be presented with three people who all claim to be the same person with the same incredible talent, job or achievement. One is sworn to tell the truth while the others are not," stated ABC's official description of the show. "The panel of celebrities will have a chance to grill each participant before taking turns deciding who they think is telling the truth." Whichever celebrity performs the worst has to tweet a lie about themselves to the world.
Leakes, who announced earlier this week that she would not be returning to "The Real Housewives of Atlanta," announced the news on her blog about working alongside veteran comedian White, who is 93 years old, and Anderson, according to the Daily Mail.
"When one door closes, another door opens!!!" the post read. "Your girl is returning to primetime network TV on the new ABC variety series 'To Tell the Truth' with Betty White and Anthony Anderson."
Leakes revealed that they "start filming tomorrow," but the air date for the show has not yet been released.
