Description: Remembering Pinky Lee. In 1954 The Pinky Lee Show premiered on NBC as the first variety show for children. Lee opened his shows with a song-and-dance number that started with the greeting “Yoo hoo, its me! My name is Pinky Lee!” In 1955 Lee collapsed on camera due to an infection. His normal antics were so energetic that apparently the cameraman and the show's director assumed the fall was an ad lib part of his performance. The audience continued their enthusiastic cheering and applause. This effectively ended his leading role on the show, which continued without him until June 9, 1956. He was the inspiration for the Pee Wee Herman character.

Description: The Gong Show was an amateur talent contest game show broadcast on daytime TV from June 14, 1976, through July 21, 1978, and in first-run syndication from 1976 to 1980 and 1988 to 1989. The show was created and originally produced by Chuck Barris, who also served as host from 1977 to 1980 in syndication. Amateurs competed in a talent contest judged by a trio of celebrities. If the act is so bad that the judges can’t bear to watch any more of it, they have the power to stop the act by pounding a large gong hanging on the wall behind them. Barris kept the acts flowing, the jokes flying and the raucous party atmosphere floating.
