I just saw some clips from the old Gong Show, and I never realized at |
|
the time (probably because I was like 9 or 10 years old) that Chuck Barris was more coked up than any human being I've ever seen. I mean SHIT, he might as well have brought a big old bag of blow on stage with him and inhaled the whole damn thing right there :).
