[@silverlaptop2022]

If we ever forget how to be happy, .......🎶🎵

[@dannydoughboy120]

Gene Gene always made my day....Never will see this type of entertainment again.

[@silverlaptop2022]

Clap along with Chuck, dance along with Gene 🎵🎶😎

[@saints093]

Gene Gene could really bring down the house with his dancing and the audience would be cheering him on and dancing along with him, but Gene rocked on The Gong Show, and Chuck was funny as well

[@michaelhull63]

He was what we all waited for in our house whe Gene Gene the dancing Machine would come out ohh so fun

[@CoxinatorProductions]

Same with our family!

[@andregodfrey3022]

He's STILL & will forever remain our LEGEND RIP Sir

[@ericjohnson9477]

Loved me some Gene Gene the dancing machine. Always made my day when he popped up.

[@TheMajorchutzpah]

Been a fan since since those original days. The gong show was a wake n bake ritual. Sad irony he had diabetes in later life and both legs amputated at the knees. God bless you Gene Gene! You are remembered!! Btw the song is Jumpin on the Woodside” Everyone Dance!!!

[@jaewok5G]

the greatest show ever on television

[@CoxinatorProductions]

100% agree!

[@markandmargie7331]

That guy had the moves. I got exhausted watching him dance at the end. Great 1st entry.

[@wm.patrickmilford4589]

To be honest, Gene was the only reason I watched the Gong Show.

[@CoxinatorProductions]

He was the best!

[@raymondacarswell8470]

Real talk

[@paulamiles9559]

My sister and I went from liking the show to being rabid fans- because of this wonderful man.

[@winstonsmiths2449]

Him and the Unknown comedian

[@maryexstroughtonaire4244]

The band though...❤❤🔥🔥

[@theheartland1861]

there will only be one Gene Gene the Dancing Machine, and only one Chuck Barris. i would always do my best to watch the best, most entertaining and funniest show on tv . RIP Eugene and Chuck.

[@release63]

gene gene the dancin machine!

[@Bobbyb732]

A legend !!

[@cheeseheadfiddle]

Great to see this tribute to a great soul. One correction: The Count Basie tune is not One O'Clock Jump. It is "Jumpin at the Woodside." The Gong Show Band was made up of some very hot players and they did the Basie tune Solid Justice every time.

[@CoxinatorProductions]

My narrator was given the gong for that mistake!

[@karlfisher1864]

Gene was the greatest! Karl

[@CoxinatorProductions]

I realize that this video isn’t for everyone, but then you realize that it actually is for everyone and you’re just being a grump. #bhm

[@paulreed1142]

So glad you could get C3P0's father to narrate this post.

[@colletteryan56]

I loved that show

[@vmjr543]

Gene was classic

[@lilcamjax]

That’s my grandfather

[@CoxinatorProductions]

We loved Grandpa Gene!

[@lilcamjax]

@@CoxinatorProductions lmfao my cousins called him that all the time I just referred to him as grandpa cause I only had the one growing up

[@michaelscott7462]

This man brought immeasurable joy to millions of people...and still is!

[@lilcamjax]

@@michaelscott7462 one of the greatest men I’ve ever know for sure and one of my biggest inspirations

[@jimjohnston5719]

"Okay. We have an act who isn't here, we need a sixty-second filler, any ideas?" "Gimme my jacket." And thus, a legend was born.

[@dalegarraway9865]

Not one o'clock jump. the song is "Jumping at the Woodside"

[@CoxinatorProductions]

Correct! Never trust a Brit.

[@jpsned]

Thanks for pointing that out. 👏

[@cheeseheadfiddle]

Came here to say that as well. I'm arranging it for my band!

[@colletteryan56]

Good old days

[@David-yw2lv]

What is the name of the tune being played?

[@cheeseheadfiddle]

Jumpin at the Woodside, Count Basie

[@David-yw2lv]

@@cheeseheadfiddle Thanks

[@antoniocobb9648]

What was that robot's name?

[@joemanzotherealjoebizz]

Chuck Barris, JP Morgan and the rest of these maniacs gave us the impression that they were all fired up on cochise, little did we know that it was mostly true!

[@CoxinatorProductions]

It was a party for sure!

[@topsecretbear9918]

The lesson is "lay off the sweets."

[@eliterry3785]

Great topic. Horrible bot narrator. Great topic though.
