My mother and her friend auditioned with him for The New Treasure Hunt circa 1974. Weird but funny man.

First Chuck Berry and then Chuck Barris. What are the odds?

Quite an interesting and bizarre persona in ol’ Chuck. I’m surprised he lasted this long.

J.P. Morgan, Jamie Farr, and… Who else was on the panel with them?

I remember an episode where _every_ contestant sang the hit song of the hour: “Feelings”

They packed a lot of goofy in 30 minutes back in those days.

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

Wow - sad. Talk about someone who made you laugh!

Hey does anyone remember the act with the guy who sang to a falsetto sound track played at high speed with a viking hat and black bushy mustache? His finale was to hold up a snake and scream? Saw this as a child so vague memories. I have a fascination with finding and watching any old video of that act. I remember as a child laughing until tears were streaming down my face. He got gonged of course. :)

One of my college roommates made it to the show. He didn’t get gonged but he didn’t win either. He did a patriotic song dressed in an Uncle Sam suit, singing the entire song with perfect clarity through his nose while his lips were taped shut.

Drinking, drugs and general hard living.... And he dies at the ripe age of 87.

The secret to life... A good pair of jeans, a quart of Jameson and a pack of Marlboro’s every day. Or... Maybe just a good pair of genes?

One of the best shows was when JP Morgan ripped her shirt off during one of Gene Gene the Dancing Machine’s numbers. Must have been a lot of coke done backstage at that show.

Palisade Park was a great song for the old New Jersey amusement park...
