Wish this video could had continued. I remember watching the show hoping Gene would be on at the end. Wasn't quite the same without him. Everyone, including the audience had so much more fun with him on at the end
We may never see a carefree time like this again. Woman were feminine and actually liked guys. My Grandma went on Vacation in California back then and was in the audience during one of these shows.
Everything is politically correct bs now . Everyone is afraid to sneeze now , or they might lose their job . I’m glad I grew up back then . Life wasn’t perfect but it was more fun and less serious than now . People were nicer too .
I agree 100%, and I'm glad I was around in those days as well. Just as you said, things were not perfect. But it was FAR better and much more fun in those days before the PC/"senstive"/Cancel Culture/Woke/Libtard crowd came on the scene. The libtards could not have a good time if it slapped them across the face.
Chuck Barris was a maniac! And I mean that in the best way... Gene Gene The Dancing Machine was my favorite part of The Gong Show
Chuck Barris was HILARIOUS!!! RIP Gene and Chuck 💖
The Gong Show was already a success but Gene Gene Dancing Machine kicked it up a notch .
OMG!!! LOL I remember watching this show and TOTALLY losing my mind when that little riff kicked in! Ha ha! TV was so great back then.
I think the song he was dancing to is called " Jumpin at the Woodside"
0:50 Gene Gene with the slick hands move to avoid the nut shot.
Chuck, thank you for asking Gene to dance on stage that first time. WHO Could have imagining it evolving into what it did
Set the time-circuits back to 1976, Marty!! We're going back!!
I'd give up darn-near anything to be back in the 70's again....
R.I.P. Gene Gene the Dancin Machine .....
Had a class in high school that was like this every time the teacher left the room for a few minutes.
Lol same, but it was while the teacher was in the room. He was retiring and couldn't care less lmao
Hahahhaha go baby go !
Chuck Barris was high as hell look @ him move! 😂😂😂
Wow! Look @ the crowd pure fun & energy! Go Gene.. Gene the dancing machine! 😊
Cocaine was a HELL of a drug. Man the 70s were an awesome time.

This clip brought to you by the letter, “C,” for cocaine.
Unhinged!
There was alot of alcohol flowing on that show lol
"Cocaine a Hellaof a drug."
Did Chuck payoff the cameraman? They show him more than Gene.
How often would Gene be featured in an episode?

Who starred as Gene Gene the dancing on the gong show
simpler times
Chuck Barris danced better than Gene
If you notice the crew is throwing stuff on stage and not at Gene Gene, which makes the whole thing funny and not mean spirited.
Is it just me or did Chuck steal the show?
