Chuck Barris died Tuesday. He was 87. The Gong Show was his forte. RIP CB.

Barris also wrote the song "Palisades Park" which Freddy Cannon turned into a Billboard 100 hit in the summer of 1962. Chuck was quite talented.

I loved the Gong Show with Gene Gene the dancin' machine.

Rest easy, Mr. Barris...

As always, it is sad to see when people who gave us so much disappear. :(

This has not been a good week for Chuck.
Berry, Barris ... is Norris okay?

Don't forget, Chuck also did wet work for the CIA...

This could all be an elaborate ruse to establish deep cover for some assignment !!

If you're really dead, R.I.P.

cheers!

While working for a broadcaster, we used to take a break to watch the Gong Show when it began. That made our day. Thanks, for the laughs, Chuck. :D

Paper bag sales must have risen with the appearance of the Gong Show's insulting Unknown Comic (Murray Langston) who wore a bag on his head.
