The Gong Show announces celebrity judges
The wackiest talent showcase (yes, wackier than America’s Got Talent) is back with Comedy Central’s The Gong Show. Hosted by Comedy Central veteran Dave Attell, The Gong Show will feature seven to ten bizarre acts each episode that will be judged by a rotating panel of celebrities. At the end of each show, the act with the highest score will be crowned the winner.
The premiere episode will be judged by Brian Posehn of Just Shoot Me, Steve Schirripa of The Sopranos, and Triumph the Insult Comic Dog. Other judges include Adam Carolla of Drawn Together, Kate Walsh of Private Practice, Andy Dick of Less Than Perfect, Ron White, Dave Navarro, Greg Giraldo, Jim Norton, and JB Smoove of Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I think this is worth a viewing — especially for those of you who can sit through America’s Got Talent. The new Gong Show should be funnier and have even more bizarre acts (none of the touchy-mushy back stories either).
The series premiere of The Gong Show with Dave Attell is on Thursday, July 17th at 10 p.m. ET on Comedy Central.
Steve-O Gets High At Gene Simmons Roast
Steve-O Gets High At Gene Simmons Roast
Yes, you read the headline correctly. Of all the crazy things he’s done, Steve-O has finally reached the point of smoking pot in public, in the presence of cameras and the media. And out of a Dr. Pepper can, at that!
The “Gene Simmons Roast” took place last night (November 27th) at the Key Club in Hollywood California. And thanks to Steve-O, the Sunset Boulevard establishment became a pot-smoking haven.
Simmons, the long-tongued, long-time bass player/vocalist for the rock band “KISS,” was honored by some of his peers and fellow celebrities. Jeffrey Ross played host, and he didn’t pull any punches.
Ross said, “I’m roasting my childhood hero… Growing up, Gene was my favorite member of my favorite band. But that doesn’t mean I’m not gonna take him down hard. What should i say about him???”
Ross was joined by Brian Poshen, Carrot Top, Dave Navarro, Craig Gass, Danny Bonaduce, Eddie Griffin, Fred Armisen, Jim Norton, John Heffron, Lisa Lampanelli, Ralphie May, Shannon Tweed, and of course, Steve-O.
