Truth or Consequences is an American game show that combines quiz elements with wacky and often embarrassing stunts for contestants. The show's premise involves contestants being given two seconds to answer a trivia question correctly, often designed to be unanswerable or simply a bad joke. If the contestant fails to answer correctly or completely, they must face the "consequences" by performing a zany stunt. The show's format and audience reactions made it a hugely popular show during its run and a testament to the sportsmanship of the American people.

Originally a radio show, Truth or Consequences first aired on March 23, 1940, with Ralph Edwards as host, who later also hosted on television from 1950-1954. The show has had various TV hosts throughout the years, including Jack Bailey, Bob Barker, Steve Dunne, Bob Hilton, and Larry Anderson. The television broadcasts ran on three networks, CBS, NBC, and later in syndication. Over the years, the show aired a total of more than 4,400 episodes, with different numbers of episodes produced at different times for different networks. The success and impact of Truth or Consequences led to other notable game shows on radio and television, and it remains a classic example of American entertainment culture.
