Chuck Barris, the wacky host of The Gong Show, died Tuesday at the age of 87. His publicist confirmed he passed away from natural causes at his home in Palisades, New York. Barris was the creator of The Gong Show and two other popular TV game shows, The Newlywed Game and The Dating Game.
The Gong Show was later revived on the Game Show Network as Extreme Gong, in which viewers could call in and vote on whether or not the act was bad. It was hosted by George Gray and ran from 1998 to 1999, with reruns continuing for another year.
