Can We Gong This Whole Idea??
Comedy Central has ordered up a new incarnation of "The Gong Show," to be hosted by Dave Attell.
The updated "The Gong Show With Dave Attell" will premiere on the cable network on July 17.
The series will retain the basic premise of the classic NBC variety show, which was hosted by Chuck Barris and premiered in the summer of 1976. Every episode will feature eight-to-10 off-beat acts performing for a revolving panel of three celebrity judges. Good acts will receive high scores from the judges. Dismal acts will receive the gong.

The Gong Show was meant only to be watched while under the influence of mass quantities of adult beverages or hallucinogenic chemicals.... just like Chuck Barris was...and dear lawd.... only in the context of the 1970s.....
Oh, come on Diva, you say....just how bad could it have been?
BAD. Very.Very.Very. Bad. Hurts. To. Remember. Bad.

"We have a lot of bizarre ssssssstuff...... today for you. Ah, he/she is sooooo good.....Ladies and gentlemen here comes....more sssssstuff..."
Will they increase the jackpot from a dirty sock and $516.32???
"I don't why they did that, I loved your act....but then again I love faulty plumbing...."
I did love Gene Gene, the Dancing Machine. The rule my buddies had was that no matter what you were doing or wearing you had to dance along with Gene Gene when he appeared.
Do you recognize the guy in this Gong Show clip? Hint, hint: Think "Playhouse"
Yes, the Diva has no doubt that he can eat two wieners.
