Barris was born in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He attended Drexel Institute of Technology where he was a columnist for the student newspaper, The Triangle. He graduated in 1953.
Barris got his start in television as a page and later staffer at NBC in New York City, and eventually worked backstage at the TV music show American Bandstand (then filmed in Philadelphia), originally as a standards-and-practices person for ABC. Barris soon became a music industry figure. He produced pop music on records and TV, but his most successful venture was writing "Palisades Park". Recorded by Freddy Cannon, it peaked at No. 3 on the Billboard Hot 100 for two weeks (June 23-30, 1962), the biggest hit of Cannon's career. Barris also wrote or co-wrote some of the music that appeared on his game shows.
Tic-Tac-Dough is an American television game show based on the paper-and-pencil game of tic-tac-toe. Contestants answer questions in various categories to put up their respective symbol, X or O, on the board. Three versions were produced: the initial 1956–59 run on NBC, a 1978–86 run initially on CBS and then in syndication, and a syndicated run in 1990. The show was produced by Barry & Enright Productions.
Jack Barry, the co-producer, was the original host of the 1950s version, followed by Gene Rayburn and then Bill Wendell, with Jay Jackson and Win Elliot hosting prime time adaptations as well. Wink Martindale hosted the network and syndicated version beginning in 1978, but left the program and was replaced by Jim Caldwell who hosted during the 1985–86 season. Patrick Wayne hosted the 1990 version.

Tic Tac Dough (September 22, 1980) - Thom McKee's final show
And after 46 shows, Thom finally goes down as champion, leaving a true legacy on game show history for many years to come.
This episode has been on YouTube before, but not in this quality. And I even went through the trouble of correcting a tint problem in the master. It took me eight layers of correction, so I hope this extra work proves worthwhile.

And now here's the episode where Thom wins his seventh car and beats the previous quiz show record of $260,000, held by Teddy Nadler of Twenty-One in 1957 (obviously this one is much more legit). And again, this would remain unbeaten in terms of solo players until 1999 and Who Wants to Be a Millionaire.

Já é tarde Mais uma noite que você me Deixa aqui a te esperar assim sem saber A que horas vai chegar Ligo a TV pra tentar me distrair Mas você não chega e eu volto a insistir No seu celular Você não atende não está a fim Já passou da hora de você chegar Ligo pra teus amigos tento te encontrar Mas eles me dizem que não vão te ver Preciso de um calmante ou vou enlouquecer Se você chegasse iria adormecer A noite já se foi, amanheceu cade vc? O tic tac do relógio Parece que já parou Ele não soube te esperar Mas ainda estou aqui Volta para casa, vem me amar Que eu espero por você Só vou conseguir dormir Quando você chegar e fizer Amor comigo Já passou da hora de você chegar Ligo pra teus amigos, tento te encontrar Mas eles me dizem que não vão te ver Preciso de um calmante ou vou enlouquecer Se você chegasse iria adormecer A noite já se foi, amanheceu cade vc? O tic tac do relógio Parece que já parou Ele não soube te esperar Mas ainda estou aqui Volta pra casa, vem me amar Que eu espero por você Só vou conseguir dormir
