:::::YOUR HOST:::::
Johnny St. John –
This disgraced former game show host continues on what appears to be an interminable comeback trail. Paroled once again to host his seventh consecutive Gimme Truth!, Johnny St. John is here to relive his glory years before scandal brought him to his knees. Marrying the sardonic wit of ‘60s-era quiz show hosts with the razzmatazz of a pool shark, St. John has collected restraining orders from at least seven T/F filmmakers. Please don’t report him, and join in when he starts singing his self-penned Gimme Truth! theme song. Though we don’t condone his methods, after six years it’s hard to argue with results.

::::OUR CONTESTANTS::::
Brandy Burre – star – Actress
Brandy is a show tune chanteuse and stage and screen actress best known for her portrayal of campaign fixer Theresa D’Agostino on seasons three and four of The Wire. Her unflinching honesty and penchant for the spotlight makes her the quintessential Gimme Truth! contestant.

David Kaplan – star – Particle Fever
David is a theoretical particle physicist, which is a lot more impressive than a theoretical physicist. David works on the Higgs Boson and contributed rhymes to the Nick Cave song, “Higgs Boson Blues.” And don’t worry, he has plenty of time to entertain rudimentary questions about the universe.

Inna Shevchenko – star – Ukraine is Not a Brothel
As the leader of the controversial feminist organization, FEMEN, Inna’s bared it all for the betterment of women. Inna is trilingual (English, Ukrainian & Russian), and like most James Bond heroines, is a knockout beauty who’s been kidnapped by the Belarusian KGB. If the Cold War was still happening, the CIA would be carefully monitoring Gimme Truth. Instead, it’s the NSA.
