So… Just What Exactly is a GONG Show?
The GONG Show was an NBC television program created by Chuck Barris that became a pop culture phenomenon in the late 70’s and again in the late 80’s. It flipped the concept of a talent show by featuring decidedly untalented contestants vying for trophies and prizes that made for hilarious entertainment.
The judges themselves were entertainment…remember
Phyllis Diller
Jamie Farr
Jaye P. Morgan
