The Gong Show is an American television game show, that was produced in the late 1970s and early 1980s.
It was created and hosted by Chuck Barris.
The show's name came from a gong used to shorten performances that were not liked.
The gong was sounded by celebrity judges, who rated the performers.
In the mid-1970s, Barris hoped to make a new kind of game show, based on the old "amateur hour" contest shows.
He held auditions to find talented acts to appear.
Nearly all the performers who came to the auditions were ordinary people, who had one or two skills, or thought they had special talent.
Many of the performances were "party pieces", that people did to amuse others.
Others were more serious, and tried hard to perform well.
Most of the acts made Barris and his staff laugh.
They thought their idea for a show would not work, because of the strange and funny performances.
Barris then realized that audiences might want to watch them for amusement.
He and his staff began to look for funny and unusual acts.
The show debuted in 1976, and became a hit.
Two hit shows
Two versions of The Gong Show aired at first: A nighttime version, hosted by radio announcer Gary Owens, and a daytime version, hosted by Barris himself.
Barris later took over the nighttime version also.
Each version worked the same, but featured different judges and performers.
A live band played music for the performances.
Live audiences attended each show, and cheered on the acts they liked.
When they did not like an act, they would call on the judges to "Gong 'em!"
If a judge sounded the gong, the act had to stop, and lost their chance for a prize.
The performer who rated highest with the judges won a cash prize. (
The "prize" was mostly for show; all the performers were paid the same, whether they won or not.)
Many celebrities served as judges on the show, including Jaye P. Morgan and Jamie Farr.
One well-known comedian, Murray Langston, performed on the show with a paper bag over his head.
He called himself the "Unknown Comic", and told simple jokes when he appeared onstage.
Langston won his round, and was invited back to appear other times.
Many people wondered who the Unknown Comic really was.
Langston later admitted he had appeared on the show just for some quick cash, because he needed money.
He hid his identity so his performance would not hurt his comedy career, since he was already well-known.
No real stars were made by Gong Show appearances, but thousands of people got a chance to perform on national television, and others got the chance to watch.
One popular member of the show's cast was "Gene, Gene, the Dancing Machine", who would dance in front of the show's band between acts.
Barris himself was also well-liked by the audience.
He treated all the performers on the show kindly and seriously, and hosted the show like it was a party.
Many of the acts who auditioned for The Gong Show were not suitable for television, or for times when children or families might watch.
Some of these acts appeared in a movie, which was released in 1980.
In time, new and unusual acts became hard to find, as more people performed on The Gong Show.
The television audience also lost interest.
Barris was tired from working on the show.
The Gong Show was cancelled by 1982.
Reruns came later, but they also stopped with time.
Today, The Gong Show is remembered fondly by the people who watched it.
Amateur talent contests still sometimes feature a gong, for when an act does not go over well. (
They are rarely used.)
Barris wrote a memoir, titled Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, that talked about his time on the show.

Charles Hirsch Barris (June 3, 1929 - March 21, 2017) was an American game show creator, producer, and host.
He was best known as the creator of many popular television game shows.
Some of his most famous shows were The Dating Game, The Newlywed Game and The Gong Show.
These shows appeared on American television from the mid-1960s until the early 1980s.
Barris was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
He studied at Drexel University.
Early in his career, Barris tried songwriting.
One of his songs, "Palisades Park", was a hit record for Freddy Cannon, a popular singer.
Barris got his start in television as a page and later staffer at NBC in New York, and eventually worked backstage at the TV music show American Bandstand.
Barris was promoted to the daytime programming division at ABC in Los Angeles and was put in charge of deciding which game shows ABC would air.
Before long, Barris admitted to his bosses that he disliked all the shows he was given to choose from, and believed he could make better ones.
They suggested that he quit his programming job and become a show producer himself.
Game Show Career
Barris first became successful during 1965 with his first game show creation The Dating Game on ABC.
The next year Barris began The Newlywed Game.
Barris became a public figure in a big way in 1976, when he produced - and served as the host of the talent contest spoof The Gong Show, which he packaged in partnership with TV producer Chris Bearde.
The show's cult stature far outstripped the two years it spent on NBC (1976-78) and the four years it ran in syndication (1976-1980).
After The Gong Show went off the air, Barris kept a lower profile (did not attract as much attention), but still worked in television.
In the 1980s, he published a memoir, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind.
Barris claimed in the book to have been a CIA (Central Intelligence Agency) agent and assassin, who regretted his earlier life.
He also regretted making "puerile" (childish) television shows, that catered to poor taste.
It was republished in the 1990s.
Many people believe Confessions does not tell a true story.
Others are not sure if it is fact or fiction.
Some, including celebrities who knew Barris, do not know or care, and enjoy his stories as entertainment.
The CIA itself denies Barris ever worked for them.
George Clooney made Confessions into a movie, starring Sam Rockwell, Drew Barrymore and Julia Roberts.
Barris was married to Lyn Levy from 1957 until they divorced in 1976.
He later married Robin Altman from 1980 until they divorced in 1999.
He later married Mary Rudolph in 2000.
Barris had one child with Levy.

Caligula (Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus, 31 August 12 – 24 January 41) was the third Roman Emperor.
He reigned from AD 37.
After only four years, he was assassinated by members of his bodyguard and the Roman Senate.
During his reign, many innocent people were killed without fair trials.
Even with all that, he was popular with the Roman public in his time.
Caligula's father Germanicus was the nephew and adoptive son of emperor Tiberius.
He was a very successful general.
He was one of Rome's most beloved public figures.
When Germanicus died at Antioch in 19 AD, his mother Agrippina the Elder returned to Rome with her six children.
She had a bitter feud with Tiberius.
That eventually led to the destruction of her family.
Caligula was the only male survivor.
In 31, he joined the emperor on the island of Capri.
Tiberius had gone there five years earlier.
When Tiberius died in 37, Caligula became emperor.
There are few surviving sources on Caligula's reign.
He is described as a noble and moderate ruler during the first two years of his rule.
After this, the sources focus upon his cruelty, extravagance, and sexual perversity, presenting him as an insane tyrant.
Caligula worked to give more authority to the emperor.
He put a lot of his effort into ambitious construction projects and luxurious dwellings for himself.
He started the construction of two new aqueducts in Rome: the Aqua Claudia and the Anio Novus.
During his reign, the empire took over the Kingdom of Mauretania and made it into a province.
In early 41, Caligula was assassinated.
There was a conspiracy involving officers of the Praetorian Guard, members of the Roman Senate and members of the imperial court.
After Caligula's death, the conspirators' tried to bring back the Roman Republic, but they were unsuccessful.
The Praetorian Guard declared Caligula's uncle Claudius emperor in his place.
Ancestors of Caligula
Insanity?

He was accused of turning the palace into a brothel.
Caligula appeared in public dressed as various gods.
He demanded to be worshipped as a god.
There was a legend that he appointed a horse to the priesthood.
It is difficult to know anything for certain about Caligula.
Only two sources from his time still exist.
Those are the works of Philo and Seneca.
They give mostly anecdotes.
At one time, there were detailed histories on Caligula.
Now they are lost.
Caligula's sister, Agrippina the Younger, wrote an autobiography which certainly had a lot of information about Caligula's reign.
It is also lost.
No surviving source paints Caligula in a favorable light.
It is not known whether Caligula was insane.

Jacques Arcadelt (also called Jacob Arcadelt) (born probably in Liège,  1504 or 1505; died Paris, 14 October  1568)  was a Franco-Flemish composer in the Renaissance period.
He was an extremely popular composer of madrigals and chansons.
We know hardly anything about his early life, but we know he was living in Rome by 1539 whe was made a member of the Julian Chapel.
Soon he joined the Sistine Chapel, where he had the job of "magister puerorum" (director of the boys choir), and later he became choirmaster.
In the same year he published four of his total of six books of madrigals for four voices.
Probably around 1553 he moved to France, where he spent the rest of his life.
He wrote a very large number of chansons (French songs).
He also wrote some masses.
Arcadelt's music became extremely popular because it was quite simple and easy to sing with beautiful melodies that people could remember.
One very famous madrigal is called Il bianco e dolce cigno (The white and gentle swan).
The style of Arcadelt’s music influenced the next generation of madrigal composers.

The Sarah Jane Adventures was a science fiction television series, that started in 2007 and ended in 2011, due to Elisabeth Sladen's death.
It was a spin off from the British cult series Doctor Who.
The series starred Elisabeth Sladen as the journalist Sarah Jane Smith, who was a companion of the Third and Fourth Doctor in the classic Doctor Who series.
Sladen played the original part of Sarah Jane from 1973 until 1976.
Sarah Jane was considered the most popular companion of the Doctor and appeared in the new series episode "School Reunion" along with her robot dog, K-9.
Unlike the other spin off of Doctor Who, Torchwood, the target audience for The Sarah Jane Adventures was children as it is shown on CBBC.
Connections to Doctor Who
The series featured many connections to Doctor Who.
The Slitheen family, who first appeared in the Doctor Who episode "Aliens of London" appeared in two stories in the first series, and the Sontarans, who first appeared in the Doctor Who story The Time Warrior featured in two stories in the Second series.
The character Doctor Who also appeared in the episodes "The Wedding of Sarah Jane Smith" (played by David Tennant) and "Death of the Doctor" (played by Matt Smith).
Doctor Who also used ideas from The Sarah Jane Adventures.
In the Doctor Who episode "Turn Left", the Doctor makes a reference to the Trickster - an enemy who had only featured in The Sarah Jane Adventures.

The Regionalverband Saarbrücken is a Kommunalverband besonderer Art, that is, it is a special mix of a rural district and a district free city.
In 1974 the district and the district-free city Saarbrücken were merged, and the new administrative body was named Stadtverband Saarbrücken.
Although it's not a district like others, most of its administrative tasks are same as those of a district.
Sinaloa is a northwestern Mexican state.
It is bordered by Sonora to the north, Chihuahua to the northeast, Durango to the east, and Nayarit to the south.
To the west lies the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of California, also known as the Sea of Cortez.
The district was part of the Holy Roman Empire.
After the Napoleonic wars the area went to Prussia, which in 1816 created the district as part of its Rhineland province.
From 1936-1945 it was called Saarlautern, when the Nazi government tried to exchange the French name for a German one.
Saarpfalz (Saar-Palatinate) is a Kreis (district) in the south-east of the Saarland, Germany.
Neighboring districts are (from west clockwise) Saarbrücken, Neunkirchen, Kusel, Südwestpfalz, district-free Zweibrücken, and the French département Moselle.
When after World War I the Saar area went under special government of the League of Nations, the Palatinate area, then part of Bavaria, was split in two parts.
The part which went into the Saar became commonly known as Saarpfalz, and was administered by the two Bezirksamt: St. Ingbert and Homburg.
The district Saarpfalz was created in 1974 when the two districts of Saint Ingbert and Homburg were joined.
Since 1997 the district has a partnership with Henrico County, Virginia.
Sankt Wendel is a Kreis (district) in the north of the Saarland, Germany.
Neighboring districts are Trier-Saarburg, Birkenfeld, Kusel, Neunkirchen, Saarlouis, Merzig-Wadern.
The district was created in 1834 when Prussia bought the Lichtenfeld area from Saxe-Coburg and Gotha.
After World War I the Saar area came under special rulership of the League of Nations, and the Sankt Wendel district was split into two parts.
The northern part, the Restkreis Sankt Wendel, was merged into the district Birkenfeld, the southern part stayed in the Saarland in its smaller size.
The district is located in the Saar-Hunsrück natural area, a hilly area with elevations between 200 and 600 meters.
The Bostalsee is the biggest tourist lake in the south-west of Germany, covering an area of about 1.2 km2.
For the biochemical process, see respiration
The respiratory system, also called the gas exchange system, is the body getting rid of carbon dioxide and taking in oxygen.
Carbon dioxide, a waste product, goes out of the body.
Oxygen, which the body needs, comes in.
The lungs are the main organ to do this.
In other words, the process in which oxidation of organic compounds occurs in cells and energy is released is called the Respiratory system.
The first step in this process is breathing in air, or inhaling.
Inhalation means bringing air rich in oxygen into the body.
Exhalation means giving out air rich in carbon dioxide from the body.
The second step is gas exchange in the lungs where oxygen is diffused into the blood and the carbon dioxide diffuses out of the blood.
The third process is cellular respiration, which produces the chemical energy that the cells in the body need, and carbon dioxide.
Finally, the carbon dioxide from cellular respiration is breathed out of the body from the lungs.
Breathing is the first step in respiration.
For respiration to happen, the body needs a constant supply of oxygen, which is done by breathing.
Inhalation is the breathing in of air.
To inhale, the lungs expand, decreasing the air pressure in the lungs.
This is caused by two actions.
The diaphragm (a sheet of muscular tissue that separates the lungs from the abdomen) is pulled downward.
Also the muscles between the ribs contract to expand the chest.
Both of these actions expand the lungs.
To fill the enlarged lungs, air from outside at higher pressure comes rushing into the area of low pressure in the lungs.
Air first passes through the nose and mouth, then through the larynx (voice box), then down the trachea (windpipe), and into the lungs.
The lungs are made of many tubes or branches.
As air enters the lungs, it first goes through branches called the bronchi, then through smaller branches called bronchioles, and finally into the air sacs.
Gas exchange occurs in the air sacs where oxygen is exchanged with carbon dioxide.
The carbon dioxide in the air sacs now needs to be exhaled or breathed out.
In the reverse process of inhaling, the diaphragm and the rib muscles relax, causing the lungs to be smaller.
As the air pressure in the lungs is greater when the lungs are smaller, the air is forced out.
The air sacs are able to contract and expand because they are coated with a lubricant, surfactant, this lubricant helps the air sacs inflate while also preventing the collapse of the lungs during deflation.
The exhaled air has a high concentration of carbon dioxide and a low concentration of oxygen.
The maximum volume of air that can be breathed in and breathed out is called the vital capacity of the lungs and is up to five liters.
The inhaled air goes down to the air sacs at the end of each bronchiole.
The air sacs are called alveoli — they have a large surface area and are moist, thin, and close to a blood supply.
The inhaled air has a much greater concentration of oxygen than carbon dioxide whilst the blood flowing to the lungs has more carbon dioxide than oxygen.
This creates a concentration gradient between the air in the air sacs and the blood, meaning there is more oxygen in the air than the blood.
As the membrane, oxygen can easily diffuse in and out.
Oxygen at high concentration in the air sacs diffuses into the blood where oxygen concentration is low, and carbon dioxide at high concentration in the blood diffuses into the air sacs where carbon dioxide concentration is low.
The oxygen in the blood enters the circulatory system and is used by the cells in the body.
The carbon dioxide in the air sacs is exhaled out of the body.
An internal combustion engine is an engine in which combustion, or the burning of fuel, occurs on the inside.
There are many kinds but the term often means the machine that Niklaus Otto invented.
In this kind, fire makes pressure increase inside a sealed box (cylinder).
The pressure pushes a rod which is attached to a wheel.
The rod pushes the wheel and makes it spin around.
The spinning wheel is attached to other wheels, such as four car wheels, with a belt or a chain.
The engine is very strong and can make all the wheels move.
There can be many configurations of internal combustion engines such as the single piston engine, the inline engine, the flat engine, the V engine, the VR engine, the W engine, the X engine, the U engine, the H engine, the horizontal K engine, the opposed piston engine, the delta engine, the Wankel or rotary engine and the radial engine which is commonly used in planes.
The most common layouts among these engines are the V layout, and the inline layout.
In the V engine, the pistons are aligned in a V shape if you look at them from the front.
There can be V twin engines, with 2 pistons, V3 engines, V4 engines, V6 engines, V8 engines, V10 engine, V12 engines, V14 engines, V16 engines, V18 engine, V20 engine and V24 engines.
The VR layout is the same as a V layout except the angle between the V shape is smaller making the overall drive smoother.
In inline engines, the pistons are aligned in a straight line.
