Popsicle Twins incident Edit During The Gong Show's run, Barris became well known for his clashes with the network censors, intentionally bringing in risque acts as bait to allow some of the less racy acts to slip by. In 1978, one of these bait acts, two teenage girls referring to themselves as "Have You Got a Nickel?", made it onto the show. Their act consisted of the girls sitting cross-legged on the stage floor and silently eating popsicles in a manner that suggested they were performing fellatio on the frozen treats. The nature of the act led to the two girls being known as the "Popsicle Twins".

While they were able to complete their act without being gonged, two of the judges gave them low marks. Phyllis Diller gave them a zero, while Jamie Farr awarded them a marginally better 2. Jaye P. Morgan awarded them a 10, quipping, "Do you know that that's the way I started?" (She was rewarded with a popsicle from one of the girls as they left the stage.)

Surprisingly, the girls' act was approved by the censors, who apparently did not see anything wrong with it during the rehearsals. However, after the episode aired in the Eastern Time Zone, NBC cut the act from the later tape delay broadcast for western time zones.[8] The act was not cut from all the tapes, and the Popsicle Twins incident has aired in reruns and retrospectives. Barris said in a 2001 interview with Salon.com that this particular act began making him reconsider his career.[8]

The 70s were crazy. And pervy. Teenagers were totally sexualized - and anyone who critiques was a prude.
