G-g-gone but n-n-not For-r-r-gotten

The 'Gong Show's' off the air, long-ago dead ~ but not the reverberations of that gong in my head

On FB I evry once in a while I post "The Dong Show" People have to enter a song title from a word I choose, if they repeat someone else's they get Donged. You have no idea how many women want to get donged (lol) Great memories... CM

Indeed, he does: Unknown fought his way out of that paper bag and is ready to strike. lol. Thanks, Jerry.

I l-o-v-e this! Gonggggg… I remember it’s silliness well! Loved the unknown comic too - can hear the music. …or was it Gene Gene the dancing machine?

Yeah. Haha. I think 'Unknown's' alias was 'Gene Gene.' Good memory! ... I'll be right back, with more STUFF...

Oh my gosh, I remember that show. My younger brother just couldn't get enough of that show, especially the 'gong' at the end--which I, his older sister, found terribly annoying...or perhaps it was him that was annoying at the time? Hmmm. Now he's gone but not forgotten.
