There’s a lot happening in the world right now, so let’s get the most pressing stuff out of the way and sorted: was the late Gong Show creator/host Chuck Barris really an assassin for the CIA?
Barris claimed in his 1982 memoir Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind to have been secretly working for the intelligence organization during the sixties and seventies—around the same time he was developing kitschy and iconic television shows like The Dating Game, The Newlywed Game, and The Gong Show. Is it possible that the unassuming and at-times silly Barris could be telling the truth here—or was this all an attention-seeking hoax by an expert performer?

Some reason or other I always thought Allen Ludden was the smartest guy in the room.He was smart enough to marry Betty White.
Maybe Harry Chapin’s song about the banana truck wreck in Scranton [where Joe grew up, ya know!] was inspired by Brandon.
Greatest show, ever!

Maybe a ‘cocaine assassin’...
Ha, that from the movie. Jamie Farr gonged them to make them stop.
Watched it as a kid
I knew he was a trained killer after I saw him murder the brain cells of so many viewers of those shows.
Actually, the blonde on the left husband WAS an operative. He got killed on a secret mission. Took her years to get the truth.
There was also a nut-so Democrat story about GHWB having taken a flight on an SR-71 to Iran to get them to hold the hostages until after Reagan's inauguration. Just how GHWB was going to get fitted for a custom air force pressure suit and get briefed on the myriad of details involved in flying in the rear seat of that sled was never explained. So take these theories with a truckload of salt.
Gong Show. The one act that I remember: three guys stood at table. The first guy brushed his teeth, rinsed his mouth and then spit into the class. The second guy grabbed the same toothbrush, brushed his teeth, used the same glass, rinsed his mouth, and then spit into the class. The third guy grabbed the glass and drank it. Barris and everyone else was super grossed out.
PeeWee Herman top of my list today.........
