RIP Chuck.

The Gong Show was great, and so was Confessions of a Dangerous Mind. The script was great too - it's too bad George Clooney ruined that book with his first directing effort.

Chuck Barris and Chuck Berry dying back to back is just strange.

Its weird...I was thinking about Barris as soon as I heard Berry died. Gong Show had some great moments, even though it was hard to watch at times.

RIP Chuck

Loved The Gong Show. Used to look forward to seeing Gene Gene The Dancing Machine every time his music hit and all the odd things they would throw on the stage.

Confessions of a dangerous mind is very entertaining.

I watched some Gong Show clips last night. What a bizarre and awesome show. And Confessions of a Dangerous Mind was a great movie.

RIP.

First Chuck Berry, then Chuck Barris. Despite his awesome powers, if I were Chuck Norris I'd be a little concerned.


Loved the Gong Show. I actually staged a version of it for my elementary school with some classmates when I was in about fifth or sixth grade. "I liked that act! But then again, I like rope burns."
