BREAKING NEWS: Gong Show host Tommy Maitland is fictional!
« on: January 08, 2018, 12:27:21 PM »
In a a stunning announcement, ABC revealed today that the quintessentially British host of their Gong Show reboot was comic Mike Myers the whole time! Who knew?

[Oh, everybody did?  Well, never mind then.]

Anyway, all you cheeky monkeys should be happy to hear they're renewed for a second season.

There are people who never knew Phil Hendrie was the voice of all his guests so yeah, there are some shocked faces in this country tonight.

As I said on Facebook, I never got the point of the Tommy Maitland role. Obviously, I knew it was Mike in costume, I just thought having him play a character didn't make any sense, when you could get a naturally zany performer to host.
"I just wanna give a shoutout to my homies in their late-30s who are watching this on Paramount+ right now, cause they couldn't stay up late enough to watch it live!"

Now celebrating his 21st season on GSF!

It might have been funnier if ABC announced that they were replacing Tommy Maitland with someone else ... who turned out to be a different character also portrayed by Mike Myers.

Wayne Campbell. He'll say every act was "Excellent!!!". And maybe he'll try to play "Stairway to Heaven" with one of the acts.

/and producers will show him the "No Stairway" sign
.....and it goes like this!!!
