Chuck Barris RIP

[Alabama Stakes]

Chuckle baby was always hilarious. The Gong Show was outstanding. It was the inspiration for American Idol. Prime time Gong Show special rocked the house. Gong Show movie still a classic. Chuck Barris was a great man, and a great American. Remember as Milton Delugg and the band with a thud busting into Basie's jumping at the woodside and Chuck stopping cold , looking both ways in amazement , as he introduced Gene Gene the dancing machine for the best minute of tv you would see all week. Chuck Barris you will be missed. Godspeed

Louis Nye and Pat McCormick ...just a couple of the amazing panel guests that appeared on the show. Watching some of these old clips brings back a lot of fun memories. The audience clapping along every time Chuck clapped his hands together while speaking, pure entertainment genius...Rest in Peace Mr. Barris, keep em laughing wherever you are
