Title: BREAKING NEWS: Gong Show host Tommy Maitland is fictional!
Post by: Matt Ottinger 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.

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.

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
