Chuck Barris, whose game show empire included “The Dating Game,” “The Newlywed Game” and that infamous factory of cheese, “The Gong Show,” has died. He was 87.
Barris died of natural causes Tuesday at his home in Palisades, N.Y., according to publicist Paul Shefrin.
Barris made game show history right off the bat, in 1966, with “The Dating Game,” hosted by Jim Lange.
The gimmick: A young female questions three males, hidden from her view, to determine which would be the best date.
