The Gong Show

Show Summary

Aired: 1975 - 1980
Show Type: Live Action
Country of Origin: US

Average people who had a stupid stunt or hidden talent, they wanted to show off, could go on this show, if the celebrity panel (usually B and C-listers like Jaye P. Morgan, Jamie Farr, and Rip Taylor)like their act they would be given points (the one with the highest points won a small cash prize), but if they thought the act sucked they would express that by hitting a giant gong!

We'll never truly know if Chuck Barris was indeed a CIA hitman as he claims in his biography. The show is a definite tongue-in-cheek take on the vaudeville tradition.

The original try-out cast offs of today's "American Idol" and "So you think you can dance"! What a riot!

Did anyone else ever wonder what ol' Chuck was smoking or taking just prior to taping? He always appears to be quite intoxicated. (If not, he was a GREAT actor.)
