DESCRIPTION:
(from ABC's press release, April 2018) "The Gong Show," which is executive produced by actor/comedian Will Arnett, is set to make its triumphant return to ABC on THURSDAY, JUNE 21 (8:00-9:00 p.m. EDT). Celebrated film and television actor/comedian Mike Myers stars as the show's host - British comedic legend Tommy Maitland. The iconic and irreverent talent show competition makes its way into the 21st century with a bang, celebrating unusually talented and unique performers on a primetime stage. A revolving panel of judges featuring Hollywood's biggest stars praise, critique and gong contestants in this revival of one of TV's all-time great variety shows. This summer, Will Arnett returns as a celebrity judge. Most performers will go home with their unique talent that only a mother can love, but each week, the winning act with the highest judges' score will receive "The Gong Show" trophy and a check. This season promises to bring in even more big-name judges and a new gaggle of contestants who are unafraid to showcase their awesome yet quirky routines. |
