With these two recent celebrity deaths I can't help but think of Johnny Fever's line: "78% of teenagers think Chuck Berry was the host of the Gong Show."
My favourite show of his was Treasure Hunt with Geoff Edwards. It was just wall-to-wall agony for contestants and not really so much a game as 15 minutes of extended cruel manipulation. Barris said he himself was shocked by Edwards' abilities.
I read Barris' autobiography. That movie was based on a single throwaway line in the book. When scriptwriter Charlie Kaufmann was asked to adapt the book into a film, that's what he focused on! Barris played along from then on, refusing to deny he was a spy.
Baris was also a songwriter, BTW--he wrote hit songs in the '60s like Pallisades Park.
Loved that song. Even went to Pallisades Park in NJ a few times.
