Aside from creating popular game shows like The Gong Show, The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game...he claimed to have also worked as a CIA hitman...with numerous kills under his belt.

The Gong Show was the best. RIP Mr. Barris.

I think he used to always say: "I like this next act" with a singular clap of his hands. :)

Watching The Gong Show as a young teenager I will never forget how regular contestant, the singer Jaye P. Morgan, always acted like a slut. She was a riot and very out there for not only the times but for every high school boy in the country.
Barris was a Philadelphia native and one of my all-time favorite TV memories, despite the CIA stuff that I think absolutely no one believes for a second. :lol:
RIP, Chuck Barris.

Mad Magazine did a parody of the Dating Game/ Newlywed Game and Chuck was called Chuck M. Barris.It wasn't until after I read it that I got the joke about the middle initial.
I was a little slow on the uptake in those days.
RIP Chuck.Hopefully they'll play "Whipped Cream" by Herb Alpert at your funeral.
