@arkady714 She is charming and extremely talented -- even more than she displays here. She's also an artist, a musician, and an extraordinary web designer.
She sang and juggled and didn't make a mistake (that we could see). The GONG SHOW was the last vestige of Vaudeville. Cheering for American Idol contestants is like cheering for OPEC.
Hillary Carlip is a very talented lady. She's a musician, performance artist, and web designer extraordinaire. If you saw "Bachelor Party" starring Tom Hanks, you saw her as the vocalist for Angel & The Re-runs doing the song "Why Do Good Girls Like Bad Boys?"
Yes!! The Gong show was made for acts like THIS! That's talent and humor for ya. I must say though, I very much dislike J. P. Morgan. She is an idiot and her singing sucks too.
My memory is slightly photographic. I saw this the first night it aired way back when. She won that night. Her score was either 29 or 30. I'm not sure because one of the judges was Rex Redd, and he very rarely gave an act a 10.
WRONG! that was the 70's. Believe it or not you could've gotten away with a LOT more then than you can now. "Political Correctness" wasn't even a term back then.
Lol wrong that was the 70's when the word sex wasn't allowed on the air, it was whoopee, and make out scenes had to have each participant with at least one foot flat on the ground.
If you've ever seen the Tom Hanks' film "Bachelor Party" from 1984, Hillary is the lead singer of an all-girl band called Angel & The Reruns that plays at the bachelor party. Hillary's actually gone on to do several things over the years, but she had a brief stint in the music business in the early '80s. Just an FYI!
Just a question - how old is Jimmy Kimmel? I mean, he looks mid 20ish in this video, but when did this show originally air? (I'm not really thinking this is Jimmy Kimmel - but you have to admit this fellow looks a lot like him!!)
Very Good show, terrific I dare say, Not the most amazing Juggling I have seen, I am pleased to say that I can do better, but Wonderful Singing, I can't do it, and beautiful timing. Superb
Interesting. Did anyone notice the background change? They must tape a rehearsal, then the actual "show". Then they had to cut to the rehearsal version for a few seconds. Maybe she dropped one? Anyway, amazing performance nonetheless.
Ahh the good old 70's; when a woman would go on national t.v. with hairy pits and noone cosidered it unusual. I'm glad times have changed. By the way that was a good performance.
This show was one of the all-time best! The ORIGINAL "Reality Show". I was a young child then, but still remember it so fondly. To whomever posted this, thank you ... and please, post more! ;)
Thank you for posting. Does anybody know where I might be able to get old Gong Show episodes, either VHS or DVD? I would buy anything I could get my hands on, even stuff with fairly sketchy picture and sound quality. I love this show, still.
as a former contestant on the updated version for the gameshow network ("extreme gong" - i won), i'm just glad she wasn't on when i competed. i'd have lost easily.
I saw almost all the shows, but I don't remember this act, though I probably wouldn't have appreciated it as much at 13 or so. She was absolutely incredible - I'd guess she got a 30. I'd have liked to see the scoring, too, but that act was just all that and a bag of premium chips.
Can anybody type the lyric what she was singing? Im deaf and im curious whats so funny about her act, back then in the 70's there wasnt any closed captioned until after 1980! thank you.
When she kicked the ball, she said "I get a kick when he's around." And the juggling was in a circular motion when she said "around." She sid "...off the ground..." and bounced the ball off the floor." When she "...he's always on my mind..." she rolled the ball over her head.
"...I find that a bit hard to swallow..." She put the balls under chin. Whe she said "I need him," she hit it with her knee, etc.
When she said "I must be blind..." she rolled the ball over her eyes. When she said, "...behind my back..." she juggled behind my back. When she used the word "crotchety," she put a ball in her crotch area. "...hit it off..." she hit them with her elbows. "...Uor love is a bust..." Ball on chest. "Off my mind." Rolling ball off head. "...Out of my hair..." Ball in hair.
Big thank you for your help and now I get the general idea on word play what she was refering to.. very goood! I wish I was that creative but how can you juggle and sign!!???
That woman's got balls, too! Perfect 30:)

"crotchety" and "bust" I think but "crotchety" I am sure was censored from the original broadcast.
The judge's reactions were frequently as good or better than the acts. Shame they weren't included on this one too.
Of the hours of my life wasted watching TV I do remember watching this one and thank you for letting me see the whole act.
