  1. #CueTheSun, a book by Emily Nussbaum about #RealityTV, had these fun facts: Chuck Barris was a pioneer who created game shows such as #TheGongShow, described as "a talent contest for the talent free." Also #TheDatingGame where a woman asked questions of 3 men she didn't see, and then picked one for a date. Before they were famous, Steve Martin and Farrah Fawcett were two of the contestants. His #NewlywedGame lasted for more than four decades. #television
