I think they should have an American Idol for middle-aged people! Wouldn't that be a hoot!

That would be great. Maybe 'The Unknown Comic' could make an appearance.

Although he had a lot of comedy work under his belt before then, Murray Langston's career hit a critical mass when he appeared on the Gong Show. He needed the money and didn't want his friends to know, so he put a bag over his head, became "The Unknown Comic" and it took off, resulting in over 150 subsequent appearances on the show and a cult following."

Another tid bit,he doesn't use drugs or alcohol.

Anymore. He was a huge druggie in the 60s and 70s. And I hate to say this, but his music has suffered since he quit.
