Chuck Barris passed away yesterday at the age of 87 from natural causes according to Variety.
Long before there was Star Search, The Voice, American Idol and all those other talent shows, there was The Gong Show. It was created and hosted by Chuck Farris and he brought his own wacky flair to the show. Before he starred in his own game show, he had created The Dating Game and The Newlywed Game. Shows that either still air in syndication to this day or have been or will be rebooted. This summer The Gong Show returns to ABC with Will Arnett as the host.
Besides changing game shows forever, his “autobiographical” book Confessions of a Dangerous Mind became a big screen lauded film with Sam Rockwell starring as him in 2002. In the story, he claimed to be a CIA Assassin, something he later denied. A secret he took to his grave with him.
Today, you can honor him by rewatching that movie or re/discovering The Gong Show, The Dating Game or The Newlywed Game.
Publicist Lewis Kay Tweeted a photo of two of his clients kissing, so you have to wonder if Will Arnett and Will Forte have something to tell us? He didn’t say, but now we know if Lego Batman was The Last Man on Earth, there would still be love left in the World and it wouldn’t be a battle of the Wills.

Will Arnett is going to be on this tomorrow’s Lip Sync Battle and he is mouthing a song that is very familiar to him. He will be performing Everything is Awesome from that little movie he did last year, The Lego Movie.
The Tegan and Sara song is happy enough as it is, but seeing the words come out from between his lips makes it even happier. Actually it makes everything more awesome because everything is awesome!
To see if he wins the battle, you will just have to tune in to Spike tomorrow at 10p. But let’s be real, there is no way Alison Brie can top that.
We know that Will Arnett can make us laugh, but can he DJ? The Millers’ star (I miss that show) showed off his skills, and let’s just say he needs to stick to his day job.
I am not saying he isn’t hot? I mean he obviously he is because why else would his hose spew like that? I know, I definitely needed to cool down after seeing him in just his swim trunks. Too bad The Lego Movie is an animated one because I would be begging for more shirtless scenes in the sequel. Who knew he was built like that under all of his clothes?
Will Arnett and Jeff Bridges were both on Today today and they looked very close. So I have to wonder, do they have something to tell us? Nope, it is just The Millers star hanging with his TV dad’s (Beau Bridges) real life brother. In a way it’s like he’s hanging with his uncle, right?
