This coming Sunday marks what would've been the 114th birthday of Hanna-Barbera co-founder William Hanna. Unlike his partner Joseph Barbera, who lived and breathed Hollywood, Hanna was a lot more low-key. He wasn't obsessed with fame, and rarely made appearances without Barbera.
Note that I did say "rarely", and not "never", because there were a few times he appeared on TV by his lonesome. One such time was in 1975, when he appeared on the game show, To Tell the Truth. For those who have never heard of the show, it revolves around a group of contestants having to guess which of three individuals has led the life they are told of. Hanna was that person in the group seen in this clip, which also features an appearance by Jellystone Park's own Yogi Bear. It's a pretty fun segment, and it's nice to see Hanna get his own time in the spotlight.
