    Chuck Barris, ‘Gong Show’ Host Dies

    http://www.msn.com/en-us/tv/news/chu...cid=spartanntp

    He was 87.

    Chuck Barris, who hosted “The Gong Show” and created “The Dating Game” and “The Newlywed Game,” died Tuesday of natural causes in Palisades, N.Y., his publicist confirmed.

    His autobiography, “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind,” was made into a film directed by George Clooney and starred Sam Rockwell as Barris.

    In the book, he claimed to have worked for the CIA as an assassin during the 1960s and ’70s, a claim which the CIA denied.

    The multi-talented game show creator was also a songwriter, writing songs such as “Palisades Park” as well as music for his game shows.

    RIP. The 'gong' eventually arrives for all.
    It's ok if you disagree with me. I can't force you to be right.

    The Gong show was the cheap first version of Americas got talent....... It was fun and sometimes painful to watch..

    RIP; The show was painful at times to watch however acts such as Gene, Gene, the dancing machine and the unknown comic made the show worth watching.
    God Bless America, God Bless our Military and God Bless the Police who defended the country against the insurgents on January 6, 2021

    Think 3rd party for 2024 folks. Clean up America.

    Once I tell you that we agree to disagree there will be no more discussion between us in the thread so please don't waste your time continuing to argue your points because I will not respond.
