Dave Ate;; to revive 'Gong Show'

May 8 2008

Comedy Central has ordered up a new incarnation of "The Gong Show," to be
hosted by Dave Attell.

The updated "The Gong Show With Dave Attell" will premiere on the cable
network on July 17.

The series will retain the basic premise of the classic NBC variety show,
which was hosted by Chuck Barris and premiered in the summer of 1976. Every
episode will feature eight-to-10 off-beat acts performing for a revolving
panel of three celebrity judges. Good acts will receive high scores from the
judges. Dismal acts will receive the gong.

"We are very excited to welcome Dave Attell back to the network and put the
Comedy Central touch on such a classic game/variety show," says Lauren
Corrao, Comedy Central's president of original programming and development.
"Dave is the perfect guy to host this series. His dry, comedic wit paired
with the outspoken personalities of our celebrity judges and the outrageous
acts will create a fresh, new take on the famed series."

Attell spent four seasons looking for late-night activities on Comedy
Central's "Insomniac with Dave Attell." A veteran of several comedy specials
on the network, Attell's most recent stand-up special, "Captain Miserable,"
aired on HBO in December.

The comic shows trademark enthusiasm for the new "Gong Show," raving, "Stars
will be made, feelings will be hurt."

Adam Sandler's Happy Madison Productions and Andrew Golder ("Win Ben Stein's
Money") will executive produce the Sony Pictures Television offering.


If Atell shows up drunk, the show will be a hit. Chuck Barris's Gong
Shows were better when he was wasted.
