Is there any video that exists of the “Chuck Barris Rah Rah Show”?, his short lived variety show back around 1978? I think they only did 5 or so episodes.

What happened to Gene Gene the Dancing Machine? Should he appear on “Dancing with the Stars”?

He is one of the nicest people you will ever meet. He’s incredibly humble, loves talking with would-be writers. I was a fan of the Gong Show from day one, and I was surprised by how low-key and grounded he was in person. Lovely man…
Wow. That was great …
Wow. That was great. I do believe him when he says that he never did drugs, although I am surprised! Nobody says they don’t do drugs, unless they’re serious. Drugs are too popular. Honestly, I’ve never done them either. Even Zappa said he smoked 10 joints in his life and that was it for him. Viva los Chucky…..CHUCKY, CHUCKY, CHUCKY!!
Nope Spacey, he was …
Nope Spacey, he was OCD…he could do NOTHING small, he had to to everything in a huge and out-landish way. I am married to a wonderful man with a bit of OCD traits, and it drives ME nuts sometimes….(and if you have ever been around someone who is hearing voices…then Chuck would be considered very very normal)
I think he was …
I think he was schizophrenic.

Chuck is such a good writer. I didn’t realize how much I loved “Bad Grass Never Dies” until I finished it and wanted more. Great stuff.

They don’t have the machine as good as you think. Look up thermite and you will know what I mean. All we need is one good solar storm and all electronics not shielded are toasted. All these fly by wire planes have weakness and can be lost. Move to the woods nope learn how to live on less yes,learn how to build am shortwave radio and morse code that is the most versitile simple form of electronic comm that can reach around the globe without a satellite. I know how to catch fish grow veggies.
Dude we all know …
Dude we all know the system is ed. There’s nothing we can do about it now. We’ve created a monster that will enslave us. Move to the woods and live off the land. People in urban and suburban areas will be slaves.
Chuck we luv ya.
Chuck we luv ya.

who the gav this comment the thumbs down & why?
some ing idiot no doubt
good question.
although i have to say from seeing the real guy here it looks like the whole CIA thing was bullshit..
but who knows?
i’d like to know this guys’ story but it’ll probably all be a ing myth just to make some money.
real life is all myth now…
and ordinary people imitate those myths, become caricatures & before you know it it’s not possible to know what is real human behaviour
I’m not sure I buy …
I’m not sure I buy that he never used drugs, but he would have been brilliant either way. His books are great as well. I’m glad to see he’s doing well today. Keep bringing the Stuff, Chuckie.
was he rele a CIA …
was he rele a CIA agent? coz im watching the film nw n duno wat 2 belive
I just …
I just absofreakinglutely love Chuckie! Not only is he a Philadelphian like moi, but I really do think he was a creative genius in his own right and nowhere near being appreciated for the impact and influence he’s had on American Pop Culture positively.
gong show is the …
gong show is the best of all time
With all that said …
With all that said I loved the gong show yes I am old enough to have seen it air live.
I would say he is …
I would say he is living proof why we need the freedom of information act. The act was rolled up by the patiot act not cool. We have had political prisoners that were jailed becasue of extreme prejudice nothing more. The only reason Ji Jaga was released was becasue of the freedom of information act. The FBI knew he was in Oakland at the time of the murders in LA but never disclosed that fact becasue JE Hoover wanted him jailed Hoover was an enemy of MLK too Hoover was a closet Queen that is fact
murderer!!!! shame …
murderer!!!! shame on you chuckie. noo i’m joking hahhahahh:) midlle east asia loves you too
He still looks …
He still looks great! He looks like he could still host a Gong Show Special if he wanted to. He created some terrific shows back then.
Chucks work and …
Chucks work and watching Chuck makes me feel happy!
