I was completely addicted to the Gong Show as a kid. I loved Gene. But for some reason I remember this one guy who came on the show to do motorcycle impressions - some one would yell out "Honda!" and he would go

 

Hooonnnnnnnn...

 

Hon.........

 

Hoooonnnnnnnn.....DAAAAAAAAAAA, (gear change) Hon.....DA........

 

like that - it was so dumb but I thought it was hilarious.

I'm gonna need to know if he got gonged or not. You can't leave us hanging like that. 

 

*Edit* NM - I read the article and he got the gong. What a dick move....especially before he got to do Kawasaki and Suzuki.

The one on the left looks like Debralee Scott.

People on the net have speculated that she is. The girls were underage (15 and 17). The act aired in 1978 when Debralee would have been 25 (b. 1953), so it's probably not her. But you're right, she really does look like Debralee.

That's exactly what I thought too!

so sad Debralee:

Overview (2)

Date of Birth 2 April 1953, Elizabeth, New Jersey, USA
Date of Death 5 April 2005, Amelia Island, Florida, USA  (natural causes)

Trivia (6)

She was engaged to John Levi, who was a police officer with the Port Authority of New York and New Jersey, who was killed in the September 11 terrorist attack on the World Trade Center.
Sister of producer Scott Bushnell and Jeri Scott (Talent Manager).
Auditioned for the role of Marty in Grease (1978). It was narrowed down to Debralee Scott and Dinah Manoff. Although Scott was better known at the time (and closer to the age of others already cast), Manoff got the part.
Ironically, she died in Florida shortly after moving there from New York City to help an ailing sister. One day she collapsed and was in a coma for several days but awoke in the hospital and seemed to be fine for a spell. She was released two days later on her birthday. No explanation was given for the coma, but she seemed fine and in good spirits. Three days later she went to take a nap and never woke up. Cause of death uncertain despite an autopsy. She was cremated.
Deadpan, plaintive-looking 70s and 80s support actress who played for laughs with prominent roles in the sitcom Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman (1976) and a few of the "Police Academy" slapstick movies.
The mother of her fiancé said Scott developed a drinking disorder shortly after the the 9/11 atrocities. She says, "Debralee has cirrhosis of the liver from her drinking." The actress' sister Jerri Scott adds, "She never did get over Dennis' death.".
