What happens
The $1.98 Beauty Show is an American game show that aired in syndication from September 1978 to September 1980. Hosted by Rip Taylor, the series is a parody of beauty contests, and featured six female contestants (including the occasional overweight ones), as well as celebrities Sandra Bernhard, Rhonda Shear, Kitten Natividad, and actress Teresa Ganzel, and on at least one occasion a male dressed in drag competing for the title of "$1.98 Beauty Queen". Chuck Barris created the series and was executive producer. Johnny Jacobs was the announcer. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
