Title KUTV EXTRA Episodes 40 and 41: Tom Barberi, Sanctus, The Gong Show, Rolling Thunder
Media Number A0303_040_A0303_041
Description Segments include: A humorous profile of Tom Barberi, irreverent early morning DJ on KALL radio, featuring Fred Wix and Mike Runge; Ballet West co-artistic director Bruce Marks shares his new choreographic work, Sanctus, about the birth and crucifixion of Christ; C. Larry Roberts follows contestants for The Gong Show, the brainchild of Chuck Ferris, who is the host. The premise of the show is that performers, the best and the worst, are featured on the show for one minute and thirty seconds, at which point a panel of celebrity judges either hits a gong, eliminating the contestant, or award points to win absurd prizes; A self-named Chief Rolling Thunder builds a home of found objects beside the interstate, known as "Chief Rolling Thunder in the Mountains."
