For some strange reason I thought he had already passed. My bad. RIP Gene

Remember staying home from school sick as a young kid and seeing him. Gong Show made me laugh when I was sick. RIP Gene Gene.

Never forgot his imitation of an Eskimo pissing. That got cut from TV, but made the movie.

He still does shows here in Vegas. Haven't seen him in forever. He used to perform the first few minutes as the Unknown Comic then the rest of the show as himself. LINK

I used to love when Jamie Farr and Jaye P. Morgan would fight over the gong…like when one of them wanted to gong a contestant and the other didn't.

And how Chuck Barris would go into commercial with "We'll be right back with more STUFF after this…"

It was a hoot as a little kid….now that I am older I understand that hard-core drugs and other mind-altering substances had to be at play...
