In his 1984 autobiography, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, one-time "Gong Show" host Chuck Barris made an incredible confession. He had secretly worked for the CIA, he claimed, as a hitman.

If Barris is to be believed, his abilities extended well beyond the realm of political assassination. Indeed, the film (based on the book) contains the following dialogue:

Barris: Well, you might want to wait till I get to a can, Mr. Oliver, because your precious microfilm is up my ass.

Oliver: I see. Are you certain?

Barris: If you had a f---ing vial of microfilm up your ass, wouldn't you be certain?
