Subtitled “An Unauthorized Autobiography,” this book wants you to believe it’s not a novel in disguise or the author’s delusional fantasies, or both. But how can anyone in their right mind believe that the creator of The Gong Show and The Dating Game was actually a double agent for the CIA who assassinated KGB spies while agonizing over what critics wrote about his schlocky TV shows in the newspapers. The only thing Barris doesn’t confess is what drugs he was taking all during the 70s.
