Haven't seen this since my Jr high school days. I think this was the late 80's version where a clip was mistakenly shown where the host actually came out and fell off the stage. After that it was taken off the air
Dr Demento (the only schmuck who gave us a nine) doesn't even know that he used to play my song "How can I say I love you, when you're sitting on my face" (Ritz Records) on his radio show back in 1981......
The lowest score I ever saw win the Gong Show Trophy was a 7 and it was on the 88' version.The act was "The Candy Wrappers" The lyrics were actually good but the singing was God Awful.If the group wasn't singing about Peace and Love they'd be surely gonged.Everyone on that episode got Gonged.That act barely survived
That's a shame that the band didn't hush up so your guitar playing could at least be heard. With the band downing out everything but your singing(which was okay but not great)I couldn't tell whether you guys were really good or not.
Bob Zany:In 1977, at the tender age of fifteen, the native Southern Californian appeared on the infamous Gong Show. Halfway through his stand-up routine, which he read from a piece of paper, he was pulled off the stage by a man dressed like a nun wielding a net. Eleven years later, he made a triumphant return as a celebrity judge. THIS was that turn(the first of several)that Bob did on The Gong Show. By the way, Bob has thankfully lost ALOT of weight and look/feels much better nowadays.
Strange thing is... this is the only version of The Gong Show I NEVER have seen until this viewing. Where was this when I was in high school?!? I want to see more!!
This ain't the Gong Show... no Chuck Barris.....

the chuckyless show missed the whole point
the brilliance of the original was the lack of production values and chucky

He's playing a Steinberger bass, not a Chapman Stick, but he definitely knew how to move with it.

This is the Gong Show the way Chris Bearde wanted to do it. Don Bleu, host, is one of the great San Francisco deejays.
