Inspired by the Mean Gene Okerlund conversation elsewhere.

Possibly the most fascinating show in TV history.

Picture America's Got Talent.
Now picture all the judges being celebrities and drunk as hell.
The host may or may not have been a killer for the CIA.

Greatest. Show. Ever.

And whenever I hear the name Gene, no disrespect to Mean Gene, but this is who I think of every damn time:

And Roswell may or may not have had an alien craft crash in its general vicinity.

If you're implying he 100% certainly wasn't a killer for the CIA, then I would pick a different example to make your point. Just sayin'...

I had forgotten how awesome that show was. Thank you for the link.

Also, I'd say the odds that Chuck Barris was a CIA assassin is probably higher than an alien space craft crashed in Arizona.

Do we know where Chuck was the day Bin Laden died?

I'd go the other way.

Well, we know there is a CIA. We know they have been responsible for people being taken out. The only thing we don't know is if Chuck Berris was one of them.

On Roswell we know there is a Roswell New Mexico.

Chuck has died. Or gone really deep undercover.
