CBS Daytime: June 18, 1962 - September 6, 1968

From what I can tell, the daytime To Tell the Truth is somewhat less known than the nighttime one, but no less interesting or fun. The nighttime show has a lot more footage online, so I figured I should salute the daytime version. :)

The daytime show offered $100 for each incorrect vote, while the nighttime show awarded $250 per wrong vote. This is pretty much the only gameplay distinction between the two versions, from what I can tell.
