Nationwide Talent Search Underway for Season Two of ‘The Gong Show’ on ABC
In the immortal words of host Tommy Maitland, “Who’s a cheeky monkey? YOU ARE!” “The Gong Show” is back for season two, and now is the time for unusually talented and unique performers to see if they have what it takes to appear on the show and survive the gong!
Hosted by Tommy Maitland (portrayed by Mike Myers) and executive produced by Will Arnett, “The Gong Show” is offering you or someone you know the opportunity to show off your wonderfully unpredictable, strange, weird, odd, one-of-a-kind and original acts that could lead to a performance on “The Gong Show” stage in front of a celebrity-filled judging panel and viewers across the country.
And calling all parents – are your kids, 9 or older, super talented or have an incredibly unique skill? Or do you and your family have a fun act? Then come on down and spend some quality family time on “The Gong Show”! Potential contestants can apply online at www.gongshowcasting.com or attend an open casting in Los Angeles on Saturday, March 24. A parent/legal guardian must submit on a minor’s behalf.
Take a look at some of the profoundly weird yet oddly entertaining acts from last season’s “The Gong Show”:
