After a not so successful attempt at fight promotion, Chuck landed a job with ABC.Chuck soon became restless and unhappy at ABC and wanted out. Chuck then borrowed $20,000 dollars from his step father and started "The Dating Game". At first ABC rejected the show, then changed it's mind.
The movie was roughly based on a day in the life of Chuck Barris and The Gong Show. In 1985 Chuck made one more special for Television. The last time Chuck made an appearance on television was in 1993 when he was promoting his new book "Game Show King".
