The Gong Show Movie
1980 film
The Gong Show Movie is a 1980 American slapstick film starring, co-written and directed by Chuck Barris, host of the game show of the same name.[2]
Plot
[edit]The film shows a fictional week in the life of Chuck Barris as the host and creator of The Gong Show, through a series of outrageous competitors, stressful situations, a nervous breakdown (which compels him to run away and hide in the Moroccan desert) and other comic hijinks in his life and work on the TV show.
Among the highlights included a group of men dressed as a Roman Catholic priest and three nuns lip-synchingTom Lehrer's song "The Vatican Rag", a man blowing out a candle with flatulence, and the uncensored version of Jaye P. Morgan's infamous breast-baring incident.
Reception
[edit]The film premiered in May 1980 alongside The Empire Strikes Back and The Shining, beating the latter at the box office in its opening weekend but losing to the former. The film received uniformly negative reviews and was withdrawn from most theaters just days after its release.
