Gong Show - OOPS!

[@danielwestfall9578]

This was, without a doubt, a one of a kind show. No matter how hard they try, this show will never ever be successfully duplicated. It had to be a blast to be on the staff or in the audience of The Gong Show. Another reason I loved growing up in the '70s.

JP MORGAN WAS MY SCHOOL BOY DREAM IN 1977 AND STILL IS. WHAT A BEAUTIFUL SMILE SHE HAS. JP MORGAN HAD ME FLOATING ON A CLOUD. STILL LOVE YOU JP .

Well it can be done on KZbin

[@stephenwilliams9923]

The gong show may have saved my life. At the time of the show I was stuck at a night job I hated, Just out of a broken romance, and a time it seems like nothing was working out. But, each day I watched this show, and for a short time each day I forgot about my life, and laughed. Thank you Chuck, I am forever grateful.

[@kt9166]

I watched this every day, and jumped every time we got GENE GENE THE DANCING MACHINE!

[@mrlaymansterms1]

The show was absolutely out of control which is what made it one of the best ever shows on TV. Chuck was closer to insane than anything

[@dancullen4647]

Copious amounts of Cocaine do that for ya lol

[@jenniferclark9842]

I nearly fell down laughing when Chuck called Jaye P "Chastity".

[@markdanielczyk944]

I was 7 or 8 years old watching the Gong Show, loved it then and even more now! Chuck and Gene Gene were the show.

[@GoMaXPoWerZ]

ha. me too and me too. Chuck and Gene

[@cps7962]

gong show waa one of the all time bests unreal show. words cant describe.

[@frankpalancio8471]

You know it's a great show when all the critics at the time hated it

[@markschildberg1667]

The birth of reality TV. Chuck’s brilliance lay in his realization in the Sixties just how desperate some people are for 15 minutes of fame.

[@landrykkb]

And this was what prompted NBC to cancel The Gong Show in 1978,although it carried on in syndication until 1980 and was filmed elsewhere since they were also kicked out of the NBC Studios.

[@johndigianni9354]

In 1976 I attended several Gong Shows @ one taping, on a Saturday I recall. In August of '76 the show had only been on NBC daytime a few months. These early shows pre-dated the extreme wackiness of the 1977 & 1978 NBC daytime Gong shows. But to witness the zany, "anything goes" antics of a show unlike any other on '70s daytime TV in one of NBC Burbank's smaller studios, was a real kick. Electric studio atmosphere indeed. One knew this show was destined for a brief shelf life since it eviserated all daytime American television needs. Johnny Carson's Tonight Show taped next door to Gong Show and was a calm oasis adjacent to the Chuck Barris comedy asylum. Subsequent reboots never captured the insane verve of the original 1976-1978 NBC run.

[@charleybarley939]

If you ever looked at all the companies that were advertising on the show it was a who's who of HUGE companies, led by Gillette. They had to be getting huge ratings. It was in a slot nobody wanted, too, but I remember people racing home at lunchtime to watch the Gong Show, even in the summer. Looks like they killed it as it was cruising along.

[@christopherhull4423]

Jape P. Is 92 years old today (December 3, 2023). Happy birthday!

[@doowopdan1879]

I saw this when it first aired, with no "oops." Jaye P. had a cute pair-- pretty mind-blowing for a 17-year-old!

[@andrewlane8977]

If cocaine was responsible for the Gong Show then we need more cocaine in TV today!

[@styldsteel1]

Yea. I think the problem with today's tv is that they are using too much of it. today's tv needs to be taken out back and put out of i'ts misery.

[@jeffwilson998]

I know Chuck Barris said he never drank or did drugs when he did The Gong Show..especially because his daughter was on drugs at the time. But I'm not sure if that was the same for Jaye P Morgan and some of the other panel members. It wouldn't have surprised me if Jaye P Morgan was doing shots during commercial breaks

[@lordpoee]

THAT was a HELL of a show!

[@nickyd.4695]

Madness, utter madness.

[@TheSweat1973]

watch this show all the time

[@2005dave]

The second Jaye P. clip is from March 17, 1978. Jaye also appeared on the following week of shows which were the first shows which reused the "Chuckie Baby" band fronts from "The Chuck Barris Rah-Rah Show"; that's the last record I have of her on daytime Gong.

[@robertb4781]

actually, it aired two months later (May 1978)

[@cardinalsfan8182]

Jaye P made a great show legendary-she is an absolute treasure!!!!

[@bluebear1985]

Jamie Farr made reference to this incident involving Jaye P Morgan in a later interview. He mentioned how he was usually the one to prevent her from exposing herself whenever Gene Gene the Dancing Machine was on stage. However, Jamie had a scheduling conflict due to other work on this particular day, so he couldn't be present to make sure things didn't get too out of hand with Jaye P.

[@michaelolz]

That show looked like such a blast to be on. Fun like this just doesn’t exist anymore.

[@greggie0707]

gene gene the dancin' machine is , was and forever will be my hero!

[@arthuridis]

Gene gets donked in the head with a basketball. I love it. Hilarious. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@erikdraven1731]

I think the second clip was also used in the Gong Show Movie... and I'll agree they were cute.

[@mummyjohn]

Man, I would've loved to've partied with them. Looks like a blast.

[@AdamJ617]

@erikdraven1731 It Sure was, and Uncensored, meaning Jaye P's Chest was exposed to those who saw the movie.

[@robinblackmoor8732]

You have to wonder were Chuck Barris and Jaye P. Morgan sick of doing the show? They both had to know the show was finished after this.

[@sldl04]

Same here. I had a major crush on her in the 70s....she was definitely hot.

As a teen kid when this show was on and, I use to watch it, always snubbed my teen age adolescence at J.P. Morgan.....now at my mid sixties I watch this stuff and think she was hot and fun....getting old is a double edged sword.... 🤔🙁🤔🙁😥😥😥....is she still alive??

[@Mike1964]

I remember Jaye was always getting bleeped out.

[@Broadwaymungo]

I'm crying.

[@megamanj2004X]

The NBC Sound Machine, or as Peter Marshall would call it: "Mother MacKensie" was really blaring off louder than normal on this episode! And I can see why now! Jaye P. Morgan! =)

[@TATSUFAN]

Hope SomeOne Has The Ful Episode Of This, Including The Balloon Drop

[@intimidator6969]

I loved J.P. she was so dirty, far ahead of the times,and Jean Jean the dancing machine was half the show!!!!!

cocaine explains so much of what was on tv , movies and the radio in the 70s and 80s.

My God, did this stuff really air on American TV? I guess I missed it! I have heard the Gong Show was loosey-goosey, anything goes, but man, this is grotesque! Thanks (I think) for posting!

[@mrrodman210]

I remember it vividly, This show was off the chain for real. That's the 1970's for ya'.

[@garyjackson3531]

This was one of multiple hit shows produced by Chuck Barris. The Dating Game, the Newlywed Game, and so on. Hell Barris even wrote the hit song "Palisades Park!" IF the book is to be believed, from the Dating Game moving forward, Barris worked as an international hit man for the CIA! That's just insane enough to be true.

[@bwm_72]

If by "grotesque" you mean "awesome"... well, alright alright alright!

[@charleybarley939]

@@bwm_72 It's about as American as it gets!

[@pumpkinorange]

In the first clip, it looks to me like she was just trying to steal the attention away from the the woman, so I felt kinda bad for her and you can tell by her face she wasn't pleased. The second clip however, looks like everyone is getting involved so that was pretty funny.

very funny show

[@Quickdraw1111]

To Doowopdan: I think you are imagining things when you claimed you saw her breasts when it originally aired. The show was NOT shown live on television. It was recorded. Therefore, they had time to edit in the "OOPS" before it went on TV.

[@smithwilliamn7090]

Wasn't there a movie where Jaye P. flashes the audience?

[@robertb4781]

the Jaye P. flashing was shown uncensored in the 1980 theatrical “Gong Show Movie”

[@hotchicktransam]

It was shown live and she was banned from the show by NBC.

[@joseftrumpeldor6240]

Sorry to tell you this, Chester; America and Americans have always been conservative except for the mistakes of your two favorite decades and the biggest mistake of all: the 2008 and 2012 Presidential Elections. Rampant liberalism has fucked up our economy and lowered our standing in the international community thanks to Leftist infesting the media, government and academia. Thanks a lot, you fucking narcissistic navel-gazing Leftist Obama-worshipping ass-wipe. Happy, hippie????
