The $1.98 Beauty Show: Worth Every Penny!

You heard it here first, folks! Rip Taylor (1931-2019) and Charles Nelson Reilly have the same birthday! Good lord, what crazy, kookin’, campy stars were alligned in the heavens on that day??? It’s practically a sign of Armageddon!

Comedian, voice-over actor, television personality, and just about my favorite master of ceremonies on earth, Taylor was THE perfect choice to host Chuck Barris’s follow up to The Gong Show, his beauty pageant parody The $1.98 Beauty Show, which ran in syndication from 1978 to 1980.

I learned many valuable lessons as a host from Taylor, not the least of which is that party favors and confetti will cover all multitude of sins. What matter if the jollity come out of a store-bought package? The bottom line is jollity!
