Question: I don't fully understand the Game Show part in the beginning. What was the significance of that?
Chosen answer: It's a recreation of when the real Frank Abagnale, Jr. appeared on the TV game show, "To Tell The Truth," that ran on CBS from the mid-1950s to late-1960s. A celebrity panel would try to pick out the genuine contestant who had an unusual secret from among two other imposters, who gave bluff answers to questions.
Answer: He didn't. He took a desperate gamble that he could distract and then emotionally disarm Carl's normal defenses.
