At age 87. He also wrote the pop song "Palisades Park", a hit for Freddy Cannon in 1962.

I am old enough to have seen him when he hosted the Gong Show. Really enjoyed his energy and the way he seemed to have so much fun doing it.

Lesser-known fact about Chuck Barris is that he used to live in one of Donald Trump's properties: the Trump Plaza in Manhattan, NY.
