RIP Gene Gene The Dancing Machine

Sad news of late that Eugene Patton has passed away...now you may be asking yourself, who is Eugene Patton? You may know him better as his on stage persona, Gene Gene the Dancing Machine.

Eugene was a stagehand working at NBC at the time Chuck Barris was taping The Gong Show. Chuck found Eugene's dancing during the breaks so entertaining, that he decided to put him on the show and Gene Gene the Dancing Machine was born.

Here is a clip of Eugene in action. As you can see from Chuck's attire, the Gong Show gang were having a lot of fun!


Gene Gene, you're dancing on a cloud now. God Bless.
