Two weeks ago, we featured a skit from The Carol Burnett Show in which Eunice (Burnett) appeared on The Gong Show.
Well, Carol stuck around long enough to actually introduce Chuck Barris for a day, and oh, did Chuck get roasted, or what? The Family skit was, I believe, part of this taping, with judges Jamie Farr (M*A*S*H), Jaye P. Morgan, & Allen Ludden.
As the header says, Gene Gene The Dancing Machine (Gene Patton) makes his debut, billed as "Gene & His Magic Feet", but you know he'd soon become a semi-regular. The Unknown Comic (Murray Langston) also makes his Gong debut. Unfortunately for the contestants, with Carol as an "opening act", it was difficult to follow.....
Chuck's jokey intros of the judges fell flatter than usual.
Rating: B.
