I wished he had talked about Gene Gene The Dancing Machine. I loved him and Chuck dancing together. Always wondered how that act came about. It was hilarious

[@donlarsen1956]

I MADE MY TV DEBUT ON THE GONG SHOW BACK IN 1976. CHUCK BARRIS WAS A WONDERFUL, KIND MAN. I LOVED HIM.

[@divingduck1970]

The anarchistic spirit is what I loved about the Gong Show, it was truly crazy. Thanks, Chuck.

The video with the girls eating popsicles is on youtube

Thank you for this! The Gong Show was probably my favorite show of all time and it's great to hear Jamie's take on this show.

Who knew we could blame/credit Klinger for the evolution of The Gong Show? Loved it, loved Chuck Barris in it. RIP, Mr. B.

I love these stories it's like you were sitting with Jamie having dinner and just listening.

RIP Chuck Barris, great TV game show creator and all around madcap man. Now you can gong and dance with your daughter and Gene Gene the Dancing Machine always

[@1stSaintsFan]

RIP to the great Chuck Barris. His Coked up antics on the "Gong Show" use to make my days when our local station played it at lunch time. He was really a trailblazer.
