We used to watch this show all the time.. just crazy local TV hysterics.. one time there was this old lady tap dancing, singing and playing the tuba.. I can still hear my mom bust out laughing. Actually think that one is on KZfaq. There was this other guy whose entire act was just blowing up his face on a piece of acrylic glass he brought out. That was a quick tutorial for my own (copy-cat) blowfish antics over the decades that followed.. The best of times.. rippling through the years to present day. Awesome show!

There are often comments on these "Gong Show" videos speculating about Chuck Barris being on drugs when he hosted the program. He wasn't. As anyone who worked for him in the sixties and seventies can attest, Barris was anti-drugs and forbid them in his production company, which also churned out "The Dating Game," "The Newlywed Game," and other shows. He threatened to fire employees who did use drugs. As Barris himself once said, he could not have run a successful, publicly-traded company had he been an addict.

The Gong Show in my opinion is infinitely superior to America's Got Talent because the Gong Show is just people having fun. It didn't matter who won. No money is involved. AGT is way too serious and over-produced and the money gives it unnecessary tension.
