Slog - Comments on Announcing the First-Ever Stranger Gong Show http://slog.thestranger.com/2007/03/announcing_the_firstever_stranger_gong_s Attention talented freaks and those who love to gawk at them: On Thursday, April 12 at the Crocodile Cafe, The Stranger will be presenting its first-ever Gong Show, hosted by yours truly. In advance of the show date, we're looking for any and all unique and entertaining acts hungry to strut their stuff before a panel of drunken judges for fabulous prizes. This means jugglers, magicians, yodelers, strongmen, stand-up comics, clog dancers, air bands, contortionists, jug bands, sword swallowers, vaudeville acts, and anyone else with an act that's under four minutes long and doesn't involve fire or minors.

Sadly, Jaye P Morgan is no longer with us....

But Seattle does have Les Nesman, Julie McCoy, the Professor, Susan Powter and the infamous Tom Skerrit...

('cause this HAS to be a job for "Our Worst Enemy" (tm)).

I love the Gong Show so much. I love how the judges are wearing tuxedos and tiaras. What a brilliant show. I'm there!

And Jaye P. Morgan is still around if you were implying that she's dead.

Absolutely not.

However, if he signs up to compete, who am I to say no? Especially when Sarah Rudinoff's holding a gong wand?

If Pat Cashman can run out and rodeo-clown Keister to safety, Sesame Street 'end-of-skit' mayhem music must be played over the PA.
