    RIP Chuck Barris of the Gong Show

    Weird thing is I was just thinking about Chuck Barris a few days ago when Chuck Berry died, because their names were so similar.

    Crazy show from my childhood. I remember Gene Gene the Dancing Machine.... and who can forget the brown paper bag Unknown Comic?

    Newlywed Game, Dating Game and Gong Show were all quite entertaining in their own ways

    Chuckie Baby was a fucking genius. Many good afternoons spent getting home and getting a good dose of the gong show

    I was always sure he was high, or drunk, probably both.

    I agree it is a constitutional right for Americans to be assholes...its just too bad that so many take the opportunity...

    According to part of the internet that I didn't know existed until 10 minutes ago, it was lots of blow and ludes and not just Chuck but also the panel and many of the guests.

    They pointed to this is evidence:

    Unknown Comic kicked ass! Right up there with Chris Elliot's The Guy Under the Seats in all-time favorite comic characters. RIP Chuck, you were ahead of your time.
