Apparently there was a time when Google didn’t dominate almost every aspect of our Internet lives, as a hilarious game show appearance by Google co-founder Sergey Brin demonstrates.
In 2000, Brin went on the CBS game show To Tell the Truth, a storied show where a panel of celebrities attempted to identify a contestant with an unusual occupation. In an attempt to promote his new search engine, Brin made an appearance on the rebooted version of the show along with two impostors who pretended to be the real “Google Guru.”
The result is an absolutely hilarious eight minutes where the celebrities try to identify Sergey Brin with questions about what URL stands for and even “What is a search engine?” Hey, this was right after Al Gore invented email, so we’re willing to cut these celebrities some slack.
You can check out Sergey Brin’s game show debut in the video, which we discovered via Andrew Gerrand on Google+, below.
