Truth be told

Mark Walberg

Mark Lewis Walberg has essayed many roles ranging from a television personality and reality show host to a comedian. He has also hosted many game shows such as Temptation Island, Free 4 All, The Big Date, Russian Roulette, and On The Cover and even a self-titled talk show (Mark Walberg show).

He is hosting the new game show, The Moment of Truth on the Fox network, where contestants are asked a series of 21 increasingly personal and embarrassing questions for a huge jackpot.

The show will premiere in India and South East Asia in July.

Asked about his experience of hosting the show, Mark says, “It has been a very different experience. Unlike the other shows I have hosted, this show is way ahead of its time. It is an innovative concept that has been well received.”

He adds: “After a successful run initially, the contract for the show was extended. So far, we have shot shows featuring nearly 50-60 contestants.”

He adds, “Though many people think that most questions on the show deal with familial and marital discord, it is not the case. We have featured people, who, even after being faced with a series of personal questions want to play on, even at the risk of losing the money they had earned. They keep telling me, it’s not about the money.”
