Rosa Parks on To Tell the Truth
In 1980, civil rights hero Rosa Parks appeared on To Tell the Truth, a long-running game show. Parks appeared alongside two other women claiming to be Parks and a celebrity panel tried to guess the identity of the true Parks. See also the appearance of a Lincoln assassination witness on a 50s game show. (via @ptak)

This is (still) great, but sidenote: my reference for this show is the opening of Catch Me If You Can.
True story: The man featured in the first game in this episode of To Tell The Truth from 1961 is my dad. :D
