This next act answers
the age-old question:

1:06:06
If you wear a cellophane--
if you--

1:06:09
Whish! OK.
1:06:10
[ Audience laughs ]
1:06:12
If you wear-- ha ha--
a cellophane suit...

1:06:16
can people
clearly see you're nuts?

1:06:19
I don't know.
A little humor, folks.

1:06:22
All the way from Pacoima...
1:06:25
Mick Donnelly!
1:06:27
[ Cheers and applause ]
1:06:29
[ Music plays ]
1:06:31
[ Off-key ] Raindrops
keep falling on my head

1:06:35
Just like the guy
1:06:37
Whose feet
are too big for his bed

1:06:40
Nothin' seems to fit
those

1:06:42
Raindrops are fallin'
on my head

1:06:44
They keep fallin'
1:06:47
So I just did me
some talkin' to the sun

1:06:51
And I said I didn't like
1:06:53
The way he got things done
1:06:56
Sleepin' on the job,
those...

1:06:59
BARRIS: Who could have known
there were so many Americans...

1:07:02
just waiting for
the opportunity to get on TV...

1:07:05
and make an ass
out of themselves?

1:07:08
Raindrops keep fallin'
on my head

1:07:09
But that doesn't
mean my eyes

1:07:11
Will soon be turnin' red
1:07:13
[ Audience booing ]
1:07:15
Cryin's not for me, 'cause
1:07:17
I'm never gonna stop
the rain by complainin'

1:07:21
Because I'm--
1:07:23
[ Gong ]
1:07:25
We'll be back
with more stuff...

1:07:30
right after this message.
1:07:35
You know what the sad part
about it is--

1:07:38
Barris has a reputation...
1:07:39
for lowering
the bar of television...

1:07:41
and the standards and all...
1:07:43
but he had a great feel
for what people wanted...

1:07:45
and he couldn't take
the criticism.

1:07:48
BARRIS: Things started
to evolve pretty quickly.

1:07:51
The show was
gaining momentum...

1:07:54
and I was becoming the one
thing I didn't expect...

1:07:58
famous.
1:07:59
- You're Chuck Barris, right?
- Yeah.
