The best performers were Grape Jelly with the song " I live in a yellow box" it was beautiful!!!!!! I grew up watching this and don't remember this episode!
If you grew up in the 70's, there's no way you don't remember The Gong Show. A lot of people came from this and made a name for themselves. Michael Winslow was one. He was famous before his brother Hall of Fame TE for the Chargers Kellen. What are the odds that 2 brothers get famous for 2 different occupations?
Those band warm-ups were quite unique to listen to. Bill Neale lays down a guitar groove, and everybody else follows. I think that was Manny Stevens (father of the band’s drummer, Mark Stevens) playing the Peanut Vendor.
Yes, she is female. And she should have won the show. MW was fantastic, but Caldonia was a little better and more unique. Myself, (Art - opening act on this episode) and the other contestants all thought she would win. But MW was FANTASTIC! When Mike did his act, we (other contestants) were in the wings to the side of the stage and someone said, (when he made the guitar sound) "that guitar is real" and we all thought it was. It sounded so realistic. We couldn't see him and the sound in the studio was incredible.

What a treasure to watch this Gong Show!!! I loved the 70s!
Wow! Michael Winslow at the age of 19! And he became a movie superstar!
Yes, even on the Cheech and Chong Up in smoke movie, at the welfare office.
So cool to see a studio master of The Gong Show
Wow!!! What a gem! Fabulous quality too - thank you for posting!!
Actor/comedian Michael Winslow, the man of 10,000 sound effects (Police Academy movie series, Spaceballs) is outrageously cool on The Gong Show.
What a terrific episode! Mike Winslow went on to costar in the Police Academy movies.
Taped June 3, 1978 and aired in June 13, 1978
That trio, wow! I’d love to hear more of them.
I love the Gong show 45 years ago its very funny
Good job Mike Winslow, now on to the police academy shows 😳😊
VERY nice quality from the master tape!!

This Tucker guy still uses a Telex machine.
@@James_Bowie In fairness I've had problems using Telex through a time portal. Getting stuck on all caps is a known bug.
RIP Chucky baby! You were special!

Chuck was the BEST!!!!!
13:00
Didn't know Arte Johnson moonlighted as an NBC cameraman
Subscribed! more gong show if you have it
Thanks for posting this.
SIDE NOTE In 1975 CBS & NBC held there yearly dodgeball match for good causes and Chuck got a
dodgeball RIGHT IN THE GONGS
Frosted Flakes - Their Grate!
It's like the Muppet Show, but with humans!-JW
How could Chuck read the cue cards when his eyes were mostly covered?
He said that he wore those brimmed hats and caps low so that he couldn't see the audience, who distracted him mightily.
wow! michael winslow while still an unknown. you could see how polished he was already.

It was on reruns on USA NETWORK and local TV stations in the 80's a lot.
Great one, at the end everyones having fun
Here is some VERY obscure trivia. The song played on trumpet from 2:09-2:15 is titled "The Peanut Vendor".
Not too obscure. Stupid song was played by every jazzman since 1933. Now if you said the songwriter was a Cuban, THAT'S obscure trivia :-)
2023, I still play it on my gut string guitar. :)
Those band warm-ups were quite unique to listen to. Bill Neale lays down a guitar groove, and everybody else follows. I think that was Manny Stevens (father of the band’s drummer, Mark Stevens) playing the Peanut Vendor.
1:49--A few notes of Artie Shaw's "Frenesi" on the trumpet.
Michael Winslow 9:34 is the only man to ever appear on both America's Got Talent and The Gong Show.
So apparently they dubbed in the extra crowd noise during the taping. Interesting. That’s not the sound of the small studio audience.
Typical NBC audience sweetener and whistling. You heard it on every game show back in the day.

Caledonia took the show, by far, is she a female???
Yes, she is female. And she should have won the show. MW was fantastic, but Caldonia was a little better and more unique.

@@lobbyest Oh wow, I’ll watch that again. Thanks!
@@lobbyest Hey, can you still perform that act, ha, how old were you than?
@@apocyldoomer I was 25, now 69. I still do a little bit of gymnastics as my 15 y.o. son is a gymnast and he's always challenging me. He wins every time.
@@lobbyest That’s cool, wow! Was Caledonia wearing a disguise ?
The real deal
