TV show description:
An updated version of the 1970s and ’80s Chuck Barris series, The Gong Show is a wacky amateur talent competition, hosted by “British comedic legend Tommy Maitland” (aka Myers). Performers with unique talents face off in hopes of impressing the panel of three celebrity judges.
Performances of every ilk grace the stage, including contortionists, singers, magicians, dancers, comedians, and painters, as well as those work animals and bugs. When a judge determines an act does not deserve a score, he or she can grab the mallet, strike the gong, and eliminate the contestant, provided fellow judges don’t prevent that from happening.
When an act pleases the judges, they allow the performer(s) to complete it, at which time the judges will award between 0 and 10 points. At the end of each episode, the performer or act receiving the highest score wins The Gong Show trophy and a check for $2,000.17.
ABC says:
With Tommy as our “cheeky monkey” master of ceremonies, he is sure to keep the fun meter up on high as he attempts to unravel any semblance of sanity on stage, and he may also lead the audience into a sing-along to the classic tune “Shaving Cream” at any given moment. And knowing Tommy, each show will include unscheduled surprises along the way, just to keep things even more entertaining – and just plain weird!
Series Finale:
Episode #20

What do you think? Do you like The Gong Show TV series? Should it have been cancelled or renewed for a third season?
I think The Gong Show should return for another season because if it gets cancelled,
I will be extremely disappointed.
We enjoy watching the Gong Show. Please keep bringing it back. We get lots of laughs from it.
The show is very entertaining. One thing I am disappointed with is that in Season 2 they discontinued the shaving cream song. It was very comical that they would have the same song in every episode.
please bring this show back, it was fun
Renew it. I love it.
Keep it…I love this show. Wen is on, is a family event…..
Keep the show. It is simply hilarious, clean fun. I still don’t recognize Mike Meyers under that chin! Love it
