To Tell the Truth

So the big news of the day is that Deep Throat's identity has been revealed, in Vanity Fair, no less, which has to be incredibly painful for the Washington Post, which seems to have exacted its revenge by running the most unflattering photo possible of Mark Felt on the front page this morning.

I've been thinking that a better alternative to the Vanity Fair piece would have been to resurrect the old game show "To Tell the Truth" for the express purpose of revealing Deep Throat's identity. Come on -- if people will watch "Celebrity Dance-Off," surely they'd be inclined to watch B-list celebrities asking probing questions like, "Number One, what did you think of the way the movie Dick depicted the Watergate scandal?" Although I guess the big reveal wouldn't be so exciting, as poor Mark Felt can't really stand up so well, but I'm sure his daughter would come out from backstage to help him up.

Speaking of TTTT, Smelmooo and I watched an old episode of TTTT this weekend, on which one of the celebrities was Khrystyne Haje, who played Simone on Head of the Class. Those were the days; she was a hot young actress who even had a column in some teen magazine (to which I actually wrote an angsty letter when I was 10, and never got a reply), so sound and highly regarded was her judgment. And where is she now? Gotta love IMDB -- she was on that show Medium, I'm assuming as an extra of some sort, but this may be her big comeback opportunity.
