Chuck Barris was an American television producer and game show creator, best known for creating "The Gong Show," "The Dating Game," and "The Newlywed Game." His unconventional and often irreverent approach to television made him a controversial and influential figure in the industry. Barris's memoir, "Confessions of a Dangerous Mind," added to his mystique, blending his entertainment career with claims of espionage.
"There's tons of creative people in television that have one failure after another, and they just step up higher. I could never get over that. When I had a failure, there was no such thing as just getting over it."
"I could never do a show, or be a personality like Howard Stern, where you take all that heat from critics. What he does, he does, but the critical heat would crucify me."
