A&E is premiering a new series, Lie Detector: Truth or Deception, on Thursday, and Gary Coleman’s ex-wife, Shannon Price, is the first subject to take a lie detector test.
In 2010, Coleman passed away after falling and hitting his head. Some people thought his death was suspicious, and his ex-wife was accused of causing him to fall—something she has been doing ever since.
Therefore, when A&E contacted her about doing the show, she agreed to do it.
Today, the network released the results of the questions about whether she is responsible for his fall, and according to George Olivo, a Former FBI agent, she lied to him when she told him no.
If A&E is sharing that before the episode airs, then you know there is going to be so much more happening that is more interesting. Tune in on Thursday at 9p to see what else is revealed.
In the coming weeks, the seven episodes will explore other gripping cases answering unresolved questions that continue to haunt those involved. Matheau Moore, acquitted in 2022 of murdering his wife Emily Noble, takes a polygraph in hopes of silencing persistent suspicions—even from those close to the case. Edward Ates, who spent 20 years in prison for the murder of a neighbor he insists he didn’t commit, seeks to clear his name once and for all. Jesse Holton, accused of killing his parents in 2016 but never tried due to lack of evidence, undergoes a high-stakes test to end the cloud of suspicion. In each case, the lie detector test is administered offering expert insight into whether the truth has finally come to light—or if new doubts will emerge.
It has been 14 years since Gary Coleman passed away, and there is still a lot of curiosity about his controversial and not-so-easy life. Peacock is going to tell his story on August 29th.
GARY follows the extraordinary story of Gary Coleman’s rise to international fame as the child star of Diff’rent Strokes; his struggles with fame; and the controversy surrounding his tragic death at the age of 42. For the first time, viewers will get insight into Coleman’s private world through exclusive interviews with his fellow actors, industry insiders and his estranged ex-wife, Shannon Price, and parents, Willie and Susan Coleman.
This documentary has me intrigued, so I will be watching!
Before Gary Coleman was living with one of the wealthiest men in NYC on Diff’rent Strokes, Harris Bank helped his parents live comfortably. How precious was the 11-year-old in that 1977 commercial?
Before Gary Coleman was stealing our hearts on Diff’rent Strokes, he was sending Hallmark Valentine’s Day cards to the girls who stole his heart. How awwwwdorable was the 8-year-old in that 1974 commercial?
Jimmy Kimmel and Norman Lear are bringing back Live in Front of a Studio Audience on December 7th. However, this time, they are not doing one of Lear’s shows. Instead, they are doing Diff’rent Strokes and The Facts of Life.
So far, ABC announced who will be starring in Diff’rent Strokes. Kevin Hart will be playing Arnold, Damon Wayans, Jr. will be his big brother Willis, John Lithgow is their adoptive dad Mr. Drummond, and Ann Dowd is starring as their maid Mrs. Garrett. There is no word if she will also be playing the part during The Facts of Life recreation.
They did not reveal what episode they are recreating, but I am assuming it is Willis’ Privacy because of the costumes. Personally, out of all of the episodes to choose from, this is a very weak one to pick.
As is the casting choices of Hart and Wayans for the one-event. It is making a mockery of something they used to take seriously. Why not cast kids? Why go with adults? It turned this annual special into a joke for me. I just think it is a slap in Gary Coleman’s face to have Kevin Hart do it.
But Kimmel doesn’t take things seriously anyway, so why should he start now? Kimmel could redeem himself if he asks Todd Bridges to play Willis’ friend in that episode.
