In 1978 Chuck Barris hosted a short lived prime time variety hour for NBC, called The Chuck Barris Rah-Rah Show. The format essentially was a noncompetitive knock-off of The Gong Show (cf. this). On 7 March 1978 at 8 p.m. Ray appeared in a line-up with Henny Youngman, Clifton Davis, Patti LaBelle, Jim Bailey, Al Green, Jaye P. Morgan and Margo Smith, “in the ongoing crusade to put a dent in ABC’s rating lock on this spot” (source here).
