If you grew up in the 70's, there's no way you don't remember The Gong Show. A lot of people came from this and made a name for themselves. Michael Winslow was one. He was famous before his brother Hall of Fame TE for the Chargers Kellen. What are the odds that 2 brothers get famous for 2 different occupations?
Yes, she is female. And she should have won the show. MW was fantastic, but Caldonia was a little better and more unique. Myself, (Art - opening act on this episode) and the other contestants all thought she would win. But MW was FANTASTIC! When Mike did his act, we (other contestants) were in the wings to the side of the stage and someone said, (when he made the guitar sound) "that guitar is real" and we all thought it was. It sounded so realistic. We couldn't see him and the sound in the studio was incredible.

Wow! Michael Winslow at the age of 19! And he became a movie superstar!
Yes, even on the Cheech and Chong Up in smoke movie, at the welfare office.
What a treasure to watch this Gong Show!!! I loved the 70s!
So cool to see a studio master of The Gong Show
Wow!!! What a gem! Fabulous quality too - thank you for posting!!
Actor/comedian Michael Winslow, the man of 10,000 sound effects (Police Academy movie series, Spaceballs) is outrageously cool on The Gong Show.
That trio, wow! I’d love to hear more of them.
What a terrific episode! Mike Winslow went on to costar in the Police Academy movies.
Taped June 3, 1978 and aired in June 13, 1978
I love the Gong show 45 years ago its very funny
The best performers were Grape Jelly with the song " I live in a yellow box" it was beautiful!!!!!! I grew up watching this and don't remember this episode!

It was on reruns on USA NETWORK and local TV stations in the 80's a lot.
Thanks for posting this.
Michael Winslow 9:34 is the only man to ever appear on both America's Got Talent and The Gong Show.
13:00
Didn't know Arte Johnson moonlighted as an NBC cameraman
1:49--A few notes of Artie Shaw's "Frenesi" on the trumpet.
Here is some VERY obscure trivia. The song played on trumpet from 2:09-2:15 is titled "The Peanut Vendor".
Not too obscure. Stupid song was played by every jazzman since 1933. Now if you said the songwriter was a Cuban, THAT'S obscure trivia :-)
2023, I still play it on my gut string guitar. :)

So apparently they dubbed in the extra crowd noise during the taping. Interesting. That’s not the sound of the small studio audience.
Typical NBC audience sweetener and whistling. You heard it on every game show back in the day.
How could Chuck read the cue cards when his eyes were mostly covered?
He said that he wore those brimmed hats and caps low so that he couldn't see the audience, who distracted him mightily.
Judges:
1. Gary Male Deer
2. Michelle Lee

Amazing👍

This is close to the end of the NBC run, which was the 500th episode.
Caledonia took the show, by far, is she a female???
Yes, she is female. And she should have won the show. MW was fantastic, but Caldonia was a little better and more unique.
