Garry Moore

Thomas Garrison Morfit III, better known by his stage name of Garry Moore (January 31, 1915 – November 28, 1993), was an American television presenter, best known as a moderator of To Tell the Truth & I've Got a Secret.

Moore was born in Baltimore, Maryland and in his starting adult years, he attended Baltimore City College. After dropping out of high school, Moore found success as a radio host (memorably, he was James Francis "Jimmy" Durante's foil on Durante's own radio show during this period) and then moved on to the television industry. He hosted The Garry Moore Show, and the game shows I've Got a Secret and the 1969 to 1978 version of To Tell the Truth. He became known for his bow ties and his crew cut, though he refrained from both fashions later in his career.

After being diagnosed with throat cancer in 1976, Moore retired from the television industry, making a few rare television appearances. One of his last was on Sally Jessy Raphael. He spent the last years of his life in South Carolina and at his summer home in Maine.

Moore died on November 28, 1993, at the age of 78.
