Chuck Barris...RIP

[bkmtnittany1]

"Chuckie Baby"....thanks for all the laughs. You and "Gene-Gene the Dancin Machine" gone in the past 2 years....Gong Show used to crack me up!

The Almighty just hit the gong on him.

Have you got a nickel?? One of the all time best acts which slipped past the sensors. The young lady on the left is much cuter but the gal on the right really seems like she knows what she's doing.

 

[L.T. Young]

Too young to have watched the gong show.

I really enjoyed the movie "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind".

Was going to mention this as well. Outstanding movie. Barris was an interesting cat for sure - lots of talents...

Barris was nuttier than a fruitcake. He claimed he was a CIA operative, spy other idiotic shit and the "government was out to get/kill him".

Jaye P. Morgan was my favorite panelist.

I maintain when everyone was going crazy having to watch American Idol, I said, it's just another talent show, like the Gong Show.

Train wreck of a show.

Well, I guess they finally got him.

Jaye P. Morgan was my favorite panelist.

I had the hours for her and watching these old tapes renews my crush. Can you imagine how much fun she'd be on a date!

Jaye P. Morgan was my favorite panelist.

But you have to "say" the name correctly ... it's Jayyyyy Peeee Mor-goan!

Does anyone remember the episode when everyone sang the same song -"Memories"?

 

[DianefromNJ]

The Unknown Comic (paper bag over his head) was my favorite.

We lost Chuck Berry and Chuck Barris in the same week. Very sad.
