Gene Gene the Dancing Machine

Why, in the George Clooney film, Confessions of a Dangerous Mind, does Gene Gene the Dancing Machine appear, when being interviewed in later life, why does he have false legs?

I didn't see the film, but during the '70s, Gene, Gene the Dancing Machine was a regular guest on Chuck Baris' the Gong Show.

,,and chuck barris was the cia operative / later game show host that
the book and movie "dangerous mind" was written about..barris was
a cia hit man in his early days before moving to hollywood and getting
into show business on tv..he was in the entertainment business before
the gong show and his world travel as an entertainment businessman
and promoter was his cia cover to be in many different places..
