The Gong Show marathon GSN did was in 2001 for the Gong Show's 25th Gongiversary. They repeated it once or twice afterward.

(sigh)

Zach, you're missing the point (as usual). I was making note of the fact that a marathon was indeed done, in recognition of "Confessions Of A Dangerous Mind" being released, which was in January 2003. Whether or not it was a rerun of the 2001 marathon doesn't mean a damn thing to me. The fact remains, they did a marathon for "Confessions."

Of course, when has that ever stopped you?

"Everything You Wanted to know about Sex but were Afraid to Ask". If I'm remembering this correclty, there's a scene in there with Jack Barry, on a show called "What's My Perversion".

Jack's the host and Regis Philbin's one of the panelists.

...and Robert Q. Lewis is the other male panelist.

Much attention was paid to detail in other ways; Robert Q. looks just the same as he does on The Name's the Same, and the jumpy monochrome picture effectively conveyed a Fifties ambience.

OBRealGS: Also featured in other vignettes of "...About Sex*" were Pyramid regulars Tony Randall and Lynn Redgrave, and Win Lose or Draw co-producer (co-exec?) Burt Reynolds.

Esoteric Eric; the second paragraph was going to be here, but wasn't someone griping about long sig lines?
