That's what this show could have been called! As a child watching this, I always wondered why everybody acted so nuts on this show, especially Chuck Barris, and now I know why. Blow. And lots of it. My God, remember how Barris used to constantly flick at his nose? Ahh, the 70's. Shows like this, and Match Game, were just half hour exploitations of the Hollywood B list. These people were just out to have a good time. The Unknown Comic? A dude with a brown bag over his head. I used to laugh just looking at him. And that was the point. When this show was at it's peak, it was comic zaniness of insane proportions. God I miss being a child again.
