Well, I would really like to know what FR posters think of Chuck Barris' claim that in addition to hosting my favorite tv show of all time, The Gong Show, he was also a CIA assassin.
I hear he now lives in France, in St. Topez, with his wife.
I got into a big conversation about this book with someone over dinner. I believe Chuck Barris when he says he was a CIA assassin. But, what do you think about his claim?
I will check back tomorrow. Happy New Year!

Occasionally, it seemed as if Chuck and Juicy J. P. were crispy enough to believe they were working on Mars.

No harder to believe than Glenn Ford being a special ops in Vietnam. Can't judge a book by it's cover ( pun intended )

One rule of thumb in the intel biz - those who talk, don't know, and those who know, don't talk.

If I buy a copy of his book, can I get it signed by Gene Gene the Dancing Machine?
I want to play my mood synthesizer......

Wouldn't there be some public record of CIA employee roles available to verify this?

Surely you can shed some light on this matter.

It's True!!!
The Gong Show was a MK Ultra plot! Mind Control in action.

You can put this one with Brian Dennehy's "five-year tour in Vietnam". Although it is possible that the CIA or other agency requested information from Barris about his trips abroad (esp. if they were behind the Iron Curtain) as they did from thousands of businessmen, reporters, etc. during the cold war, perhaps on a long-term basis, and Chuckie has pumped this up in his little mind into a James Bond story. More likely, he was just putting people on.

I find this pretty hard to believe. He was sooo whacked on coke while doing that show that he couldn't possibly have functioned as an assasin.

I read the book and it was a fun read. There was one part about an Air France mid-air collision that was historically false and that falsehood raised some doubts in my mind about the veracity of other parts of his story. But it's such a fun read, it doesn't really matter if the CIA assasin parts are true or not.

If I remember right, Dr. Ruth was a sniper.
