Yes, that's right, and how ironic that on this wacky, over the top show - the producers felt she went too far and fired her after doing that. Nuts! Show went down hill from there. I remember they used to have a porn star, Carol Cummings, do the opening introduction for a while.

Man, that skit was awesome, did you hear the crowd laughing for real? Not a chance they were gonging that act. LOL What a great show, watched it before going to work at night, then we'd all meet at work and laugh about the show. Classic....can never be duplicated, different world now.

If I had to host this show I'd be a hitman for the CIA too ;-p

When I first heard the song Vatican Rag I thought Tom Lehrer was singing "check your fly", not "genuflect". That was probably the worst act ever though.

The fellow at 5:26 is miming to a sped up "Malambo no. 1" by Yma Sumac. This is not his only TV appearance. He also shows up on "Cos", the short-lived show of Bill Cosby from 1976. I guess this happened, because The Gong Show and Cos shared a producer, Chris Bearde. I think that a couple of acts from TGS made it on the show.

The Vatican Four were in a short film, miming to the same song. At the time of this Gong Show, I was so thrilled to hear a Tom Lehrer song on the air, as I was too young to have seen him on "That Was the Week That Was".

@takeosdaddy you're right its a Joe Tex song,which strangely is about rape,but is it still rape if you yell surprise first?
-
@takeosdaddy hmm, I see where you get that idea but I don't think that's it. Unless, it was inspired by a kernel of the Tex vers. The thing that bothers me is that I know I've heard that song (the gong show one)! Thanks though.

@FritzOmnibus to me it sounds like a song called I got cha by Joe Tex, but the words are changed
-
What is that song at 4:42 ??? The puppet on the guy's butt. I MUST know!!!



"Is my fly open?" "No it isn't..." "Well it should be, coz I'm peeing"
