This is funnier than anything on tv today:)

RIP and long live Errol Flynn (June 20, 1909 - October 14, 1959), aged 50 You will always be remembered as a legend.

I liked Errol Flynn's expression when Steve said "I've been married three times."

Errol Flynn , born from a fairy tale. He really was all his characters in some way!!! ♥ the best man in action!

The man had it looks brains and talent, he live life the he wanted. Sure its sad to see someone like flynn go from being a star in hollywood in his heyday. But his later years were the ones his critics saw as his best work in films. He was getting work again when his health failed him. The Man is a legend and his films are some of best remembered to this day thats his legacy. R.I.P. Errol Flynn.

Errol Flynn is beautiful

He had 6 sexually transmitted diseases. The warts were so numerous and so large, in fact, that the city’s chief pathologist, Tom Harmon, painstakingly removed them and preserved the specimens in formaldehyde with an eye of having them serve as a teaching aid to future generations of British Columbia doctors.

I've always liked Error Flynn for his sense of humor and delivering lines in his movies..not to take anything away from his great looks and superior physique, I just enjoyed his comraderie with all those who came in contact with him.. A true human being, and being human, a true flawed one..so to speak.. "get me Geisler"..in response to a lawyer that he needed in his hopes to avert scandal that was donned on him in '43..not saying it was true or not about these young gals..but strangely familiar of today and celebrities being accosted and or accused.. R.I.P. Errol..Olivia is still in love with you..

If only comedy was this good now. At least we still have videos like this.

Don Knotts once again shows he's a comedic genius.

Errol Flynn is one of the few movie stars, historically, whose life off-screen was more interesting, than, his life onscreen.

Being an avid fan of the real TTT, this parody was hilarious!! So clever and funny. Great job by both the "liars" and the panel of judges. The judges captured the people they were impersonating SO well, especially Tom Poston as Ralph Bellamy. Genius!

Ditto, and likewise. And this was before Tom Poston was on the real TTTT, if I'm not mistaken.

What a treasure thank you so much for posting this. I'm only 61 but I know every star on this show. Don Knots was hilarious even back then.

My Dad turned me and my kid brother on to Errol Flynn back in the very early 60's. He said sit down and watch this movie with me. We did and we loved it! It was "The Adventures of Robin Hood" After that movie, we had to watch everything and anything Errol Flynn was in. My Dad was like Errol Flynn in a way. He was a Fencing instructor and taught all over in Connecticut, including Yale. He was very good looking like Errol Flynn. We all enjoyed the home movies of my Dad fencing and he was an excellent Horse back rider.. Errol Flynn was like a "Superman", or "Bat Man" to us. He was the greatest. When my Dad told us that he had passed, we were shocked. How can a man like this die? And he was young, only 50. Wow... I guess that's what happens when you over indulge with alcohol.⛪🛐✝💘 I know his life didnt end there on October 14th, 1959.. He went on to Heaven where he continues his life. God Bless you Errol Flynn

I give my thanks for sharing the video, this spoof is interesting and amusing to view. From what I have read in a biography by Mr. McNulty, Mr. Knotts commented that he saw Mr. Flynn sad with his hands covering his face after they finished airing this. That does make me concern what troubled Mr. Flynn.

It was a pleasure to watch the great Errol Flynn along with Steve Allen's talented cast of loonies in this satire of To Tell The Truth. His career at this stage was on the way back up when he appeared on Steve's show. He should have been nominated by the Academy for The Sun Also Rises. He was also marvelous in Too Soon, Too Much.

His auto biography was the best!! Titled; My Wicked Wicked Ways

Hilarious send-up of the original _To Tell The Truth_ panel -- what fun!! :D

What a cast!

Classic skit with great characters! Errol Flynn was truly a man of action off and on screen.

Thanks for posting. I love, love Errol Flynn, and "Barney," too! This was so funny!

And since nobody's mentioned him, the first "Errol Flynn" was Louis Nye. Nye, Poston and Knotts were regulars on the show.

Thanks so much for posting this. It was a scream!!!

Errol Flynn could indeed "drive a truck in the Bronx," and make it credible.

I've no doubt Errol needed the money- he was also on What's My Line, Red Skelton and the Colgate Comedy Hour. it doesn't mean he didn't enjoy clowning on these shows. And he plugs his movies. The studio may have arranged these appearances. .

Excellent !

How Awesome!!!. It was made the year after I was born and from what I have found through goggle it was on the air until 1968. But I have no memory of it and my memory is still good.

In two short years later, Errol would be gone at only 50 years old

By 1957 in his career he had not "fallen," much less "far." As he says in this show, he had just finished filming a Hemingway film and was about to play John Barrymore in the film Too Much, Too Soon, where he, perfectly cast, shone, as when he recited a Shakespeare passage brilliantly. But here visibly his former youthful health had fallen, as from alcohol and tobacco; he looks a bit bloated and tired.

His voice was a dead giveaway. Her was hot back in the day.
