"The Gong Show" was a classic parody of ameteur talent
contests. During each episode, three guest celebrities judge the acts, performed
either by soloists or groups, of which host Barris (or Owens in the syndicated
version) introduced. While some acts were actually quite good, the show often
focused on outrageous acts such as a dentist who plays "Stars and Stripes
Forever" on his drill; an obese man who tap-dances to music from "Swan
Lake", and an Elvis impersonator who serenades a "Hound Dog"
while singing said tune. Many of the acts were hilariously bad; those the
panelists deemed too awful to continue were "gonged."
Host Barris keeps the acts flowing, the jokes flying and the
raucous party atmosphere floating. The show's grand prize was $516.32 (except in
the syndicated version where it was $712.05). Acts that did reach their
conclusion were scored by the panelists on a scale of 1 to 10. Running gags
featuring the show's regular cast were also popular; they included an inept
musician who plans to "play" a certain musical instrument "right
now" and Barris reading a children's story with alternate endings (and
enacted by the show's cast). Also featured were regular acts, including the
"Unknown Comic" and "Gene, Gene the Dancing Machine."
"The Gong Show" quickly became a part of American popular culture,
with local versions staged as fundraisers by college, high school and civic
groups.
