About
The Gong Show is an amateur talent contest franchised by Sony Pictures Television to many countries.

The show was produced by Chuck Barris, who also served as host for the NBC run and from 1977 to 1980 in syndication. The show is best remembered for its absurdist humor and style, often awarding participants ridiculous and worthless prizes.
