Liars Club was a comedy game show that ran in syndication. There were three editions.

The basic game had a panel of four celebrities describing an unusual object. Only one celebrity told what the object actually was. In the first series, two contestants scored points for correctly picking the celebrity telling the truth about the object. The final segment, the Art Corner, had the celebrities describing a painting. The top scorer at the end won a $100 cash prize.

The second and longest running format utilized four contestants who were staked to $100 and made wagers on the correct celebrity. Four rounds were used, each round with odds placed (1:1 first, 2:1 second, 5:1 third and 10:1 for the Art Corner). Correct selections win the bet multiplied by the odds; incorrect selections deduct the wager. Minimum wagers are half the player's money score. The top scorer at the end wins a bonus prize.

The third edition, taped in Canada was much like the 1976-79 version.
