Tattletales is an American game show produced by Goodson-Todman Productions in association with Fremantle. The program had two runs on the CBS daytime schedule between February 1974 and June 1984.[2] It was hosted by Bert Convy, with several announcers including Jack Clark, Gene Wood, Johnny Olson and John Harlan providing the voiceover at various times. Wood was the primary announcer during the show's first run, and Olson was announcing during the 1980s.
You're right there I founded you he's gonna replenish I'm just gonna replenish all these stats first just you know just change your spot I swear you. Did sir I heard you like right near the laundry machine but maybe not I didn't see you up we're playing hide-and-seek buddy freaked, out I did so oh my god I have to do it again okay oh well. Collect gems as you adventure through the lands looking for your long lost love.
The show's premise involved questions asked about celebrity couples' personal lives and was based on He Said, She Said, a syndicated Goodson-Todman show that aired during the 1969–70 season.
Host[edit]
Bert Convy was awarded a Daytime Emmy Award for hosting the show in 1977. Bert Convy and his wife, Anne, occasionally played the game during the 1970s run, most often during weeks in which the panel was made up entirely of other game show hosts and their spouses. Among the hosts who filled in for Convy during these episodes were Gene Rayburn, Bob Barker, Bobby Van, Jack Narz and Richard Dawson. All five hosts also participated in playing the game along with other hosts such as Allen Ludden, Bill Cullen and Chuck Woolery.
Gameplay[edit]
The show changed its format after its first four months on the air. The second format remained for the rest of the show's run, including its later versions.
Production for Tattletales was set up at Hollywood's Television City in either Stages 31, 41, 43.[3] In both formats, the show's set consisted of two parts. One was a desk behind which three players could sit. The other was a small seating area in the rear left corner of the stage, which was used to keep the players not in the game isolated; a sliding wall covered the seating area during gameplay and each player had a set of headphones to block out any noise from the other side of the wall. Usually, the game began with the husbands isolated and the wives onstage. When needed, the offstage players would appear on monitors in front of their spouses.
The studio audience was divided into three color-codes sections: red, yellow (which Convy jokingly nicknamed the 'banana section'), and blue, each section of 100 members rooting for one celebrity couple. Audience members in each section divided the money their respective couples won. The couple with the most money at the end of the show won the game, earning their section a $1,000 bonus. In the event of a tie, those sections split the $1,000 bonus. A member of the winning section(s) was also randomly drawn to win additional prizes. Audience members received their winnings in checks distributed as they left the studio.
Format No. 1[edit]
In the first format, Convy asked the players onstage two questions, which usually started with 'It happened at...' or 'A story involving...' and then Convy completed the question. After each question was read, a player onstage buzzed-in to answer the question. That player then gave a one- or two-word clue that the spouse would recognize. Convy then repeated the question to the offstage players, appearing on the monitors in front of their spouses, followed by the clue. The offstage player who buzzed in first answered the question, and if the couple's answers matched, they won money for their rooting section.
A correct answer was worth $100 with a one-word clue, and $50 with a two-word clue. Convy then asked another question, usually multiple choice, called a 'Tattletale Quickie,' to each couple in-turn. On their turn, each onstage player answered the question, and the spouse appeared and answered the same question. If the answers matched, the team won $100. The players changed places in the second round.
Format No. 2[edit]
In June 1974, the game dropped the first type of question, and questions in the 'Tattletale Quickies' format were used for the entire show (though the 'Quickies' name was dropped). The scoring format also changed. Each question had a pot of $150, split among all couples who matched ($50 if all three matched, $75 if two matched and $150 if only one couple matched). If no one matched, the amount of the pot was added to the next question. The husbands were first asked two questions, after which the players changed places prior to the second round. The wives were then asked two more questions, with the value of the final question doubled to $300. The syndicated version offered the same; plus, one member of the winning rooting section(s), chosen at random, got six different parting gifts.
Celebrities[edit]
The guest couples on the premiere episode of Tattletales were Jerry Stiller and Anne Meara, Bobby Van and Elaine Joyce, and Dick Gautier and Barbara Stuart. Among other celebrities that played the game were Bobby Troup and his wife Julie London, Bill Cullen and his wife Ann, Allen Ludden and his wife Betty White, Orson Bean and his second wife Carolyn Maxwell, Charlie Brill and his wife Mitzi McCall, Scoey Mitchell and his wife Claire Thomas, Ron Kass and his wife Joan Collins, John Ritter and his wife Nancy Morgan, George Hamilton and his first wife Alana Stewart, Jay Leno and his wife Mavis Leno, Michael J. Fox and his girlfriend Nancy McKeon, John McCook and his second wife Juliet Prowse, Tommy Lasorda and his wife Jo, William Shatner and his second wife Marcy Lafferty, Patti Deutsch and her husband comedy writer Donald Ross, Phyllis Diller and her husband Warde Donovan, James Brolin and his wife Jane Cameron Agee, and As the World Turns co-stars Meg Ryan and Frank Runyeon, Bob Crane and his second wife Sigrid Valdis.
Neither version had a hard rule that the celebrity couples were in fact married or romantically involved, although the 1982 version more frequently featured non-romantic couplings than the original run; the 80s version occasionally aired special weeks with teams consisting of TV couples, best friends, parent-child, and other combinations. On a March 1982 broadcast, Linda Blair stated on-air, in response to a question about romantic preferences, that her playing partner for that week, Jim Atcheson, was a close friend rather than a romantic interest. For one week in February 1975, gay comic actor Dick Sargent and lesbian comedian/author Fannie Flagg appeared on the show as a couple; Flagg was not introduced as Sargent's wife or girlfriend, or even friend, but rather 'his lady'. Gay actor and director Charles Nelson Reilly was booked on Tattletales during both CBS runs; his playing partner in 1977 was Elizabeth Allen, a long-time friend from his days on Broadway, and his partner on the show in 1982 was Julie Harris, another old friend from Broadway who was married to her third husband, Walter Carroll, at the time the program was produced.
Broadcast history[edit]
CBS placed Tattletales at 4:00 PM (Eastern Time Zone)/3:00 PM (Central Time Zone/Mountain Time Zone/Pacific Time Zone) when it premiered, replacing the long-running soap opera The Secret Storm. It formed the last third of an afternoon game show block that also included The Price Is Right and Match Game '74.
The show changed time slots three times in 1975. On June 16, CBS moved it to 11:00/10:00 AM. On August 11, after The Price Is Right returned to the morning, Tattletales moved to 3:30/2:30 PM. On December 1, it returned to its original time slot.
On December 12, 1977, CBS moved Tattletales to the 10:00/9:00 AM in a scheduling shuffle with The Price Is Right and Match Game '77. Tattletales gradually began to lose viewers and ran its 1,075th and final show of the original version on March 31, 1978. It was replaced by Pass the Buck. A weekly nighttime version, syndicated by Firestone aired during the 1977–78 season, but was not renewed.
In 1981, CBS asked Mark Goodson to bring Tattletales back, and it returned on January 18, 1982. It aired at 4:00/3:00 PM until June 1, 1984, when it was replaced by another Goodson show, Body Language.
On March 12, 2021, HBO Max announced that it had ordered a reboot of Tattletales, which will be produced by Ayesha and Stephen Curry, and feature couples playing for charity. Fremantle stated that the reboot would also feature physical challenges and viewer-submitted questions.[4][5]
Episode status[edit]
Both versions of Tattletales remain intact, but only a portion have been seen on Game Show Network: episodes of the CBS run from 1974 to 1977, selected episodes from the CBS run from 1977 to 1978, and several months of the 1982–84 run. GSN never reran the nighttime syndicated version. Episodes of the 1974–1977 daytime version of Tattletales can currently be seen on Buzzr.
Two episodes of the nighttime syndicated version aired on Buzzr on February 9, 2020, as part of their 'Love at First Sight' marathon.
International versions[edit]
Tattletail On Steam
An Australian version of Tattletales aired on the Seven Network as Celebrity Tattle Tales, hosted by Ugly Dave Gray for a brief time in 1980, and was produced by Reg Grundy. The show was cancelled after being on the air for only three months.[6]
A Brazilian version of Tattletales ran on Sistema Brasileiro de Televisão from 1975 to 1986 under the name Ela Disse, Ele Disse ('She said, He said') hosted by Silvio Santos.

Christmas might be over, but you can still relive the holiday season with Tattletail. In this first-person horror adventure, you take the role of an over-eager child that opens their Talking Tattletail present five days too early. Like Five Nights At Freddy’s, things get tricky fast. To make your (short) life easier, we’ll provide details for each task, how to survive, and what it takes to finally defeat Mama Tattletail.
So, what’s a Tattletail anyway? Short answer: an annoying toy with three daily demands, and a big mean Mama that wants your blood. Surviving gets increasingly difficult with Mama Tattletail on the prowl, and she hunts for naughty children that don’t properly take care of their toys. Every night, you’ll need to keep Tattletail’s three meters full while completing tasks and dodging Mama Tattletail’s ambushes. Beware when the lights go out.

Before getting started, we recommend you turn up the brightness. This will make the game much easier — it obviously isn’t required, and if you’re looking for a good scare, keep the brightness levels low.
There are five nights until Christmas Day. Your goal is to take care of your new toy pet Tattletail — Tattletail has three needs:
- Food (Use the Fridge)
- Grooming (Use the Brush)
- Battery (Use the Charger)
Refilling these needs will keep you safe. To avoid death, hide in a corner and use the flashlight in the darkness. Mama Tattletail hunts children that don’t take good care of Tattletail, and only attacks from the darkness. When the lights go out, that’s when Mama Tattletail is after you.
NOTE: There is a phone call at the end of every night. These are optional — you can answer or ignore them. Ignoring all phone calls will earn you a bonus Steam achievement.
Night 1: A Night to Remember
- The Tattletail present is found in the basement.
- To feed Tattletail, interact and hold on the refrigerator. It is located upstairs from the basement, in the kitchen. Remember the refrigerator location — you’ll need to feed Tattletail nightly.
- To groom Tattletail, use the brush located in the living room, on the couch. The brush is always located here. When Tattletail’s grooming meter is low, use the brush to clean him up.
- Return Tattletail to his box in the basement.
- Go to bed to end the night.
Night 2: Minor Mischief
- Open the noisy laundry machine in the basement to collect Tattletail.
- Use the charger in the basement to recharge Tattletail. This is the last of his three needs. Make sure you always refill Tattletail’s hunger/grooming/battery. If any of these meters hit zero, you will lose.
- Interact with the vase in the basement. The lights will go out.
- Take the flashlight. Whenever the lights go out, always go for the flashlight and wait in a corner until the lights turn back on. To activate the flashlight, click the right-mouse button to shake.

- Return Tattletail to his box in the basement.
- Go to bed to end the night.
Night 3: Mama’s Boy

- You’re safe when the lights are on.
- Clean up the mess and go to bed.
Night 4: Funny Games
