Television Icon and Controversial Author Chuck Barris to Appear on “NYC TV PROFILES”

New York, NY, July 06, 2009 --(PR.com)-- Host Mickey Burns interviews iconic television host and producer, Chuck Barris on "NYC TV PROFILES." Barris is the creator and producer of several successful shows, such as "The Dating Game," "The Newlywed Game," and "The Gong Show."

In the late 60’s and early 70’s, Barris produced an incredible 27 half-hours of groundbreaking television each week. In 1976, Barris stepped in front of the camera as the host of "The Gong Show", an improvised talent contest exclusively for the "talent-impaired." It lasted two years, and four more in syndication, before an exhausted Barris pulled the plug.
