"Gong Show" host Chuck Barris, who claimed to have moonlighted as a CIA assassin while emceeing the 1970s TV talent show, is locked into a heated, and mostly losing, legal battle with his 85-year-old co-op neighbor, Dorothea Weitzner, a Columbia Law School dropout with 25 patents to her name. Weitzner's alleged attacks include a range of angry obscenities and threats to slice one of Barris' body parts. The skirmish raises the question: How bad must a tenant's behavior be before a co-op moves to evict her?

The life of “Gong Show” host Chuck Barris has taken yet another strange turn.
Barris, who claimed in his 2002 autobiography “Confessions of a Dangerous Mind” to have moonlighted as a CIA assassin while emceeing the popular 1970s TV talent show, is locked into a heated — and thus far mostly losing — legal battle with his 85-year-old co-op neighbor, Dorothea Weitzner.
