Dear Christie,
Sorry, but I came up empty in asking local video stores about the
availability of The Gong Show–THE MOVIE. You would think that would be a
natural for the rental stores. I never saw it myself. I did do two Gong
Shows… the first being an impersonation of Rhett Butler singing and dancing
to "I Won't Dance". I was gonged by Arte Johnson for that one. (Chuck: Oh,
Arte, why did you gong my good friend Sean? Arte: He danced!) The second
appearance I won the trophy, as well as the $516.32 prize money, for a bizarre
little piece I called "Heart to Heart", in which I played two characters having
an intimate, heart to heart conversation with each other: Grandpa Walton and
John-Boy Walton! I did a full makeup and costume for each, splitting myself
down the middle and doing the scene in rotating profiles. Don't exactly know
what gave me the idea for it, except that I was a good friend of Will Geer, and
performed in his Shakespeare acting company for several years. Good luck with
your search!
