This makes me want to dance every time I hear it!! I loved the Gong Show and I’m pretty sure Chuck was zonked out of his mind for most of them. That’s what made it fun!!!!
What’s wrong with David Letterman? Everyone is dancing around having a great time and he’s just standing there clapping like he has a board up his ass.
@LadyNightthorn I wasn’t saying it was good…I was just saying it existed. The best thing the Attell show did was introduce me to the band Cookie Mongoloid.
@johnnyhorror92182 On an off chance I went to iTunes and searched “Gong Show” and I got 4-5 entries of the Attell version. AWFUL!!!! Not funny, ugly, nasty. I could go on. Nowhere near Chuckie’s wonderful show. Hopefully, someday the original will come back to us, cable TV or DVD. I’m sure I’m not the only one waiting.
we don’t need to have the gong show come back – we have Americas got talent. However the last series should have been called America don’t have much talent.
I was visiting the NBC studios about 6 years after the Gong Show went off the air. As we were touring, I walked by this guy in the hallway and said “I know that guy from somewhere.” After we left, I figured out it was Gene Gene the dancing machine!
Thank you so much for sharing this hilarious video! It always makes me laugh! Naturally, I’m obligated to dance around the room waving my arms much to the chagrin of anybody nearyby. lol (Dry Martinez is hilarious, too) Too bad we don’t have this stuff today. Oh wait … it’s called politics. lol
Gene Gene, the Dancing Machine, you are always Number One!!!

Brings tears to my eyes to watch and remember the fun!!
My favorite from The Unknown Comic:
“What do you get when you cross an elephant with a rhino?”
“Elephino!” (Hell if I know!!)
Thumbs up for J.P. Morgan being hot!

@AdoribleAdrian “Jumpin’ at the Woodside” originally performed by Count Basie and his orchestra
I LOVED, LOVED, LOVED The Gong Show! Gene Gene the Dancing Machine was one of the best parts of it!
Go Gene, Go!!!!
Holy shit….this is where Eddie Murphy got his Nutty Professor character from!!! (cause he damn sure didn’t use the Jerry Lewis version)
Monkeys are funny.
Why is that annoying jew host dancing too? How annoying.
Does anybody know the name of the song Gene always danced to?
All my teachers call me this.. cause my name is Gene.

I saw a rare sight at the time no stuff thrown onto the stage while gene gene is dancing.
I love this show. I used to watch with my family when I was a kid.
