Comedy Central’s “Gong Show” Preview

Posted by Alex Davis On June - 30 - 2008

Comedy Central’s new game show, The Gong Show with Dave Attell has started the press rounds for its debut on Tuesday, July 17th at 10:00PM ET.  The show follows the basic pattern of the old one but obviously with more comedy (intentional or not) acts being promoted.  Seven to ten acts are on each show, and the winner of the entire show takes home a Gong Show belt as well as $600. Not bad for a few drag queens performing archery.

The judges are looking to be very good as well.  On the first episode you will see judges Brian Posehn, triumph the Insult Comic Dog, and Steve Schrippa.  Other judges include Adam Carolla, Kate Walsh, Andy Dick, Ron White, Dave Navaro, Greg Giraldo, Jim Norton and JB Smoove.  As a big stand up comedy fan, it’s looking extremely nice, and they are including some pretty big non comics.  The show also has a few experienced people behind it: Doug Robinson of Happy Madison Productions and Andrew Goldner of Win Ben Stein’s Money, Identity, 2 Minute Drill, and much more.  Check out the show on July 17th at 10:00PM ET on Comedy Central.  It should be extremely funny.

    yeah, unfortunately Chuckie-baby has lamost dissapeared from US TV since the original gong show ended. however, I think they’d be wise to at least get him to do a cameo at some point.

    I was on the show. I’m in the promo hitting my self in the face with a bag of flour. I haven’t seen it yet just been told. It was a pretty fun show with a lot of crazy acts.

My Only Comment on “Instant Recall”

Was it just me or was Instant Recall pretty tough?  If that’s what GSN thinks a tongue-in-cheek retro-style game show is, no wonder they are having so many problems.  It looks like a bad cable access show.  I feel bad…
