"Time will Tell" was an early American television program broadcast on the now defunct DuMont Television Network. The series ran during Autumn 1954. It was a game show hosted by Ernie Kovacs, who would go on to host other DuMont and NBC programs.McNeil, Alex (1980). "Total Television" (4th ed.). New York: Penguin Books. ISBN 0-14-024916-8.] The announcer was Robert Russell. Game play involved three contestants answering questions in 90-second rounds, timed with a large hour glass. [Schwartz, et. al. p. 203]

The program, produced and distributed by DuMont, aired on Friday at 10:30 PM on most DuMont affiliates. The series was cancelled after a few months; DuMont replaced the series with local (non-network) programming.
