The Ayatollah of Trasherola. Pretty sharp dude too:
Barris often came off as a nut case, but he was an astute businessman. As a pioneer of first-run syndication, he sold The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game to stations after ABC canceled his shows, keeping them the air.
He formed the public company Chuck Barris Productions in 1968 and sold his shares in the firm to producer Burt Sugarman in a 1986 deal that valued the company at about $86 million ($195 million today). The firm was eventually acquired by producers Peter Guber and Jon Peters and then by Sony.

I loved the "Gong Show". It was so crazy and funny. RIP Chuck Barris.

I also loved the random stuff they would put on the signs behind the stage...like "It's Lucedale, Mississippi Day"
And how the celebrities would fight each other over the gong when one was trying to gong and act and the other didn't want to gong it...
And Jaye P Morgan....what a 70's chick she was.
