Here's a bit from an unreleased Hicks performance circa 1983:
> This week, [televangelist] Jim Bakker was upset again, saying that the
language on TV is
> getting 'crude and vulgar', which was an overreaction as usual, or
that's what I thought anyway.
> But he played examples from some shows & I was amazed -- I tuned in just
in time to hear...
> "The Password is... C#NT!"
> Whoa! When did this start? How long was I out?!?
> Then the guy giving the clues goes...
> "Uhhhh... Bonnie Franklin."
> [The contestant replies:] "C#NT?"
> DINGDINGDINGDINGDING!!!
> And Allen Ludden goes "G*dd*mn it, he GOT it!!!"

PS: Ironically, the week that the new Gong Show started, I ran into a
friend of mine who had been on the original, and who was also the very
last bachelor on the original Dating Game!
