Synopsis

In a parking lot, Lamont unexpectedly encountered Chuck Barris, who kindly gifted him four tickets to a taping of *The Gong Show* – a show known to be a particular favorite of Fred’s. Inspired, Fred resolved to audition as a contestant, assembling a routine with his brother-in-law, Rodney, and Lamont. Just before the taping, however, Rodney suffered a back injury, leaving him unable to participate.
