At least he's not Ryan Seacrest who has pimped out those awful reality TV shows on E! that spawned such awful garbage like <i>The Jersey Shore</i>.<br /><br />As far as the film is concerned. It's been years since I've seen it and I've been unsure if I want to see it again.

(I seem to be writing those first six words a lot recently). I hated Chuck Barris so much. Don't ask me why I kept watching the show. Kids are stupid and I was no different, I guess. <br /><br />Anyway, my dislike for him kept me from watching this movie for quite a while. When I finally did, I found it reasonably entertaining, but completely unbelievable. As you said, though, the whole CIA subplot makes the story more interesting.Chip Laryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00787403805554027107noreply@blogger.com
