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!

Julia Child was with the OSS in WW2. Why not Chuck?

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 )

ROFL!
Well, it's not next year here yet....but here we go: I think Barbara Woodhouse was actually undercover with the IRA back in the 70's.

If I buy a copy of his book, can I get it signed by Gene Gene the Dancing Machine?

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

Gene Gene the Dancing Machine? That is exactly who I was thinking about!
Maybe Gene was his "handler"?
To: Unknown Freeper
Surely you can shed some light on this matter.
To: Mannaggia l'America
no, his handler was charles nelson (now, thanks to the marvels of plastic and sex-change surgery, bill o') reilly.

"Julia Child was with the OSS in WW2.' For real?
What did she do, drool them to death?

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