Casting Call: The 1970s variety show, The Gong Show is back with a new version on Comedy Central hosted by Dave Attell. The series will begin taping soon, so get your unusual, crazy, stupid human and pet tricks ready and send a link of your video-taped act to gongshowcasting@aol.com or contact Hedda Muskat, Casting Producer at 310-413-2861 to schedule a live audition in Los Angeles, Las Vegas or New York City.

Should this make air, one thing you can't say is that Comedy Central didn't promote it enough...

Didn't promote what?

Stay tuned for an all new episode of The Gong Show, coming up next after this week's fiftieth rerun of last week's all new episode of The Gong Show! (Then, Li'l Bush!)

I like Dave Attell. But then, I like almost every comedian that's been on Lewis Black's new show, and that hasn't made it any more watchable.

I had high hopes for that show. They were dashed with the first episode. Oy.

It's a go, set to premiere July 17. Source: the mighty thefutoncritic.com.

A couple of friends got to looking over that press release when they noticed this:



In other words, Adam Sandler's production company. Would this be a good or bad thing?
