After nearly 30 years of being off of the air, The Gong Show is back on ABC tonight at 10p and just as wacky, wild and bananas.
For those of you who do not know what The Gong Show is, think what if all the rejected acts on America’s Got Talent had a game show of their own. There you go. They are acts you have never seen before and you do not know why you want to see them. Yet you enjoy every one of them, even the women who is dressed as Little Bo Peep and puts a whole living tarantula in her mouth. Then there is a married couple who do weird things with bananas. Not that thing, but you will see what I mean. Or a man dressed as an ape riding around on a unicycle playing the bagpipes. It does not make sense, but it does not have to.
Each week there will be three different celebrity judges like Will Arnett (who is the Executive Producer), Ken Jeong, Zach Galifianakis, Will Forte, Tracee Ellis Ross, Anthony Anderson and many more. They will judge the performers with a score from 1-10 and the winner of the night goes home with $2,000.17 and a trophy! Now what if an act is that terrible, and there are some really bad ones, they get gonged and that is why it is called The Gong Show.
As much as I love the show, I gong the host. It is hosted by Tommy Maitland who is really Mike Myers in disguise. It makes no sense to me and he adds absolutely nothing to it. If you are going to have Mike Myers host the show, then have him f*cking host the show. Plus, the makeup department screwed up and made him look like Robin Williams. For someone like me, who still cannot watch Williams’ films after his death, it is hard for me to watch Myers as Maitland looking like Williams.
Other than that The Gong Show is a hit and not a hit to the gong, so tune in for the wackiest show on television!

Did you know that when Love Connection ran before, it made 27 successful matches that lead to marriage. The Fox version is airing its fourth episode tonight at 9p, and it already has a man who gets down on one knee to ask his date to marry him. Will she say yes? I am not going to tell you. You are going to have tune in for one group of love connections that go horribly bad and another that goes the complete opposite.
I did not think I would Love Connection as much as I do, but I look forward to it every week. It is innocent fun and Andy Cohen is a great host!
Also at 10p but over at NBC, The Night Shift is back for its fourth season. Sadly, not everyone is back because they are protesting Dr. Julian Cummings (James McDaniel) buying the hospital, shutting down the ER and firing Topher. Now they are half staffed and no one is listening to him. Jordan (Jill Flint) finds ways to piss him off and she might have come up with a way to not only save the ER but also everyone’s job. Will he listen?
TJ is still in Syria and he is constant danger. He will not be getting out of there anytime soon, so he will have to fight for his life.
If that is not enough, several of the doctors will go out on a call in San Antonio and we are not sure they will get out of alive.
Translation, it is another exciting episode of The Night Shift. The show that helped to bring back medical dramas is still just as good as it always is.
Anthony Michael Hall was on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen and a caller wanted to know which movie or television has he done does he wish he could delete from his career. At first he said, “Oh, I got a bunch.” Then he settled on a movie called A Gnome Named Gnorm. After watching the trailer for the 1990 movie, I do not know what he is talking about. I think it is looks like the best film in his career, even ahead of Sixteen Candles and Weird Science.
What do you think of the trailer of A Gnome Named Gnorm?
UPDATE: Anthony Michael also played Plead the Fifth, and he revealed which Brat Packer got the most action. Believe it or not, it is not Rob Lowe. To hear that answer, then click here!
I do not know what is going in the NYC talk show world, but for some reason the make hosts want to make it the Summer of the ‘stache. Yesterday, Jimmy Fallon declared he was growing one and today, Andy Cohen revealed he already has. Why? All he is said was, “If I grew a mustache to celebrate today’s paperback release of SUPERFICIAL, would you be: A. More inclined to buy it B. Less inclined to buy it C. No change D. More inclined to think I am douchey E. Just confused.”
Boys, unless it is a porn ‘stache, in the words of KC and the Sunshine Band, “Baby give it up. Give it up, Baby give it up.” Sorry they just do not look good. It is just one step up from the soulless soul patch.
There are different ways a celebrity knows that they have made it. Seeing themselves on TV in an ad, reading their name in the newspaper and for Andy Cohen it was seeing himself plastered on a huge a$$ billboard in NYC.
While the host was driving down 7th Avenue, he saw a billboard for Love Connection, pulled over, recorded himself with this massive mug in the background and plotzed all over himself. Since it is Manhattan, he thought people recognize him due to the massive poster, but they didn’t care. They just kept walking as he sat their in awe of himself.
What I love about this, is that even though he has been on TV for like ever, he can still get excited about his sucess. He has every reason to because Love Connection is connecting with audiences. If you missed it last week, then you can check it out tonight at 9p on Fox.
Yesterday when Armie Hammer was on Watch What Happens Live, and Andy Cohen wanted to know all, and I do mean all, about his kiss with Leonardo DiCaprio in J Edgar.
The first thing the Bravo host needed to find out is if Leo has good breath? The Lone Ranger seemed to imply he does not. Which is a good thing that there no tongue was involved between the two men. But that doesn’t that mean that DiCaprio’s dreamy eyes didn’t him give him a slight boner during their lip lock! And there you have what a lot of Victoria Secret’s models already know.
While Hammer didn’t have a good experience with his co-star’s breath, Zac Efron had quite the opposite with The Rock in Baywatch. The High School Musical graduate told James Corden on The Late Late Show that DJ tasted like a Winterfresh commercial when you kiss him. How would he characterize their smooch? Efron said, “It was crazy, he is good at that too. Jeez…He is just the best at everything…It was an awesome kiss.”
I don’t know about you, but given the choice to make out with Leo or Dwayne, I would pick Johnson every time. Who doesn’t want to feel like they living a Winterfresh when they make out?
