Chuck Berry and Chuck Barris in the same week.

Barris was great on The Gong Show...not high culture, to be sure, but fun to see “plain folks” get their 30 seconds of time in the spotlight.

And some not-so-plain folks, too. Like comedian Murray Langston's frequent appearances as The Unknown Comic, and -- my personal favorite -- guitar great Tommy Tedesco, decked out in a tutu, with a cigarette dangling from his lips. What a funny guy he was!

Chuckie, baby. Chuckie, Chuckie, Chuckie!!! We'll miss you...

Based on recent events, I now TOTALLY believe that the CIA hired this guy has a hitman.
