Amazing classic show

"Can't be of any value or you wouldn't have found it!"

Hope he knew Jesus! ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Hope he knew Jesus!

Outstanding live band.

Notice Jamie Farr enjoying it! Awesome. 👍 👌

This is great! Such joy.

An utterly idiotic, stupid tradition that needs to be done away with. They’re trying to make a quick phone call him, and you have grown men screaming like fools at them. I hope the Commandant, or someone higher than him does away with this stupidity.

get out. geeeeeeeeeeet out! classic.

Mother and daughter had the same hair dresser😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

In a world of Naked And Afraid and MILF Manor commercials, these skits are a balm to the soul! That music is so perfect lol

Absolute freak show, loved it then love it now

The Gong Show was truly "Must See TV"!

This was television at its BEST!!

simply the best.

What we see around 0:11-0:16 still makes me laugh. Jackie Gleason's home not even 4½ seconds & his life is already in the figurative crapper.

I miss that show... Thanks CZcams 😂

This is great, but Cash did it 100 times better.

What was the reference that Jackie Gleason made around 1:11, again?... It's been so long since I last watched this episode of 'The Honeymooners', I forgot.

but yet gleason never won an award for that show meadows did and carny did sad.

My dad & I love this episode.

My dad & I still laugh at when Jackie Gleason says "What is SHE doin', here?...".

My dad & I love this episode.

Loved when J. P. Morgan flashed everyone during one of his dances. That was awesome 😂😂😂

The most memorable GOAT !

@1:17 Jaime Farr

Gene, Gene, Gene. What put a smile on my face the most was the knowledge that most of these people were on something other than "just life man".

Good times.

@1:17 was that actor Jamie Farr in the audience ?

*_GO FOR IT!_* They certainly did! 😂

This was a wild show. I loved it then and still do.

I've watched this over and over and over again, and only just realised it's Tim Robbins introducing it. Looks an awful lot like Tom T. Hall.

The Gong Show never took itself seriously. That was it's charm. David Letterman would have absurd people & skits too that were similar. Everything walks a tightrope for being pollitically correct first now. Not a bad thing, but no more off the cuff zanny shows anymore. Everthing is policed- even kooky.

Love it, beautifully sung, heartfelt lyrics....

What a great show that was! What a job! They’re getting paid to have a blast! “What a country!”

I WATCHED THE WHOLE SHOW JUST TO SEE MY MAN .... GENE -GENE THE DANCIN MACHINE !!!! GOD BLESS HIM

If she were my mother in law i would move FAR AWAY!

Have we ever found out what specific drugs Chuck Barris was using during the run of this show?

Agnew VP, Spitz won numerous gold medals, and Dunaway for Network…heck, Mr Reese 6th grade 1971…and yes, Gene Gene the Dancing Machine…must admit though that my fondest memories of the Gong Show are centered around Jaye P Morgan!

What the h3ll, I would not like a bunch of grown a$$ men and women screaming at me. If you scream at me I'm gonna cry Abby Lee... I would be that person who forgot they phone numbers.

I imagine that in every dressing room, “Green Room”, broom closet, at every reception desk, coat check, ticket booth, there MUST have been candy bowls filled with coke and a bundle of straws beside them. Before taping, during breaks in taping, before coming back on for taping, for the wrap after taping, it just must have been one wild non-stop disco themed and coke infused, party! This show was a classic and should have lived longer. Years later my favorite part of it is rewatching episodes and wondering just how I could have (or how ANYONE could have) missed noticing just how BLASTED Chuck was all the time, and how that was tripled by the end of the show!! 😜😅🤪👍🏼☮️

Alice's mom wasn't afraid of Ralph at all 😅😂

I remember seeing Jaye P Morgan flashing her Boobs on 2 different episodes😳👍

Loved this show! Such great energy and fun!

When you were home sick from school, this show made you feel better

LMAO....this must have been a great show in the day.

The Gong Show was already a success but Gene Gene Dancing Machine kicked it up a notch .
