Chuck Barris, who hosted The Gong Show and created The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game, died Tuesday of natural causes in Palisades, N.Y., his publicist confirmed. He was 87.
His autobiography, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, was made into a film directed by George Clooney and starred Sam Rockwell as Barris. In the book (subtitled An Unauthorized Autobiography), he claimed to have worked for the CIA as an assassin during the 1960s and 70s, a claim which the CIA denied.
Based on recent events, I now TOTALLY believe that the CIA hired this guy has a hitman.
When Death comes for Chuck Norris. . . .Death will be the one leaving in a box (grin)
RIP, Chuck...You’ll be missed...
Greatest show, ever!
