TV game show creator/host Chuck Barris dies at 87.

The old timers here will probably remember The Gong Show 1976-78. RIP Mr. Barris.

This show was so bad it was good if you were in the right, uh...mood if you know what I mean. 😉

RIP Chuck. 🙁

I watched that show a lot growing up.

I watched that show a lot growing up.

I thought he had passed away years ago to be honest.

Are we sure he's really dead? After that mockumentary about being a hit man for the CIA, who knows?

I do know that I had a crush on Jaye P. Morgan. And always loved Gene Gene The Dancing Machine taking us to commercial break. In any event, RIP Chuck....wherever you are

I definitely watched that show sometimes. Rest In Peace, Mr. Barris.

Me too.

Rip. 🙁

I loved watching The Gong Show as a kid (in syndication.) I'll have to watch the docu/ mocu movie about him again soon.

She was a beautiful woman all right. Out of curiosity I looked her up; she's 85 now and living in Colorado. Sorry to say Gene died two years ago at 82. He was a stagehand at NBC Studios where the show was filmed.

Wow, Jaye P. is 85! Man do I feel old. Who would have thought....she was a pretty heavy partier back in the day. Amazing that she's 85!

And yep, I remember Gene as a stage hand. Sorry to hear of his passing

I hear you. Hard to believe that 40 years have passed. Where did they go?
