The man who brought us the Dating Game, the Newlywed Game and the amazing Gong Show has passed away at 87.

Say what you will, but I thought the Gong Show was a cheesy riot!

We never missed a show when I was a kid. RIP

Loved that show, although I don't think my mother was ever really thrilled with us watching it due to the racy, campy nature of Chuck's one liners etc.

RIP Chuck.

Loved the Gong Show. But I always thought "Is he on something?"

 

[Flint]

Petty sure that was cocaine.

 

[Randy]

I always thought it was his love for J.P. Morgan!

I always thought it was his love for J.P. Morgan!

I read today that at one point she showed her breasts on the show, and Chuck never had her back again.

Hmmm, I don't remember that, but then again I'm sure it didn't air.
