Jose Canseco was born to do reality television shows. His amazing stint on the Surreal Life was proof enough of that. However, a reality show that involves having to pass a polygraph to advance and make more money seems about in his wheelhouse as making a comeback as a relief pitcher.Yet, David Vassegh of 570 KLAC is reporting that's exactly what he'll be doing sometime over the next two months as a guest on Fox's "Moment of Truth".
Canseco already has taped the episode and according to my source that was in attendance during the taping Canseco was asked if he ever injected Mark McGwire with steroids and if he ever corked his bat amoung other questions that were asked during the taping. The episode of "The Moment of Truth" with Canseco is supposed to air in late September or early October.Again, Canseco will be asked questions before -- while on a polygraph -- and during the show (I believe I understand this correctly.) He will then answer those same questions on stage. If his answers on stage match the polygraph results, he moves on.
It stinks that we have to get more Jose Canseco in our lives. Lord knows I've been trying to quit. The bright side is that maybe, and I'm pretty skeptical about this, we'll get some truthful answers about what he did or did not do. Or, ideally, he'll keep lying about the first question they ask him, make a fool of himself on national television and win no money.

The polygraphs conducted on Moment of Truth have no validity whatsoever. The examiner deviates from every accepted technique and protocol in existence. See full commentary on my web page http://polytest.org/momenttruth.html

I think this would be a great opportunity for Canseco to be vindicated. People love to judge, critize and hate without really knowing the truth.
Watch out Mark McGuire... you might not like the outcome this time either.
Jose let it all out, and win lots of money. You deserve it. I'll be watching out for this show.
