Gong Show

Wow, talk about a guilty pleasure. Last night I happened upon an E! True Hollywood Story on The Gong Show. Way back when I was in high school only Saturday Night Live could surpassThe Gong Show for "annoy the teachers fodder". The teacher's done with a presentation? Everybody holds up numbered signs: "4.5!", "7!", "2!". Better yet, "gong her" right in the middle of a particularly boring segment.

Ah, those were the days.
