In 1963 I was 13 and my brother was 11. We were standing outside of Allen’s theater with our parents waiting to get in to see his show. A TV camera suddenly appeared from the doors and aimed at us with the lights on. Then it swung to some other folks standing nearby. They picked an older guy near us and invited him to come into the theater.

When we watched the tape delayed program later that night, we see could ourselves on TV with Allen making comments about what “dumb” looking kids we were (LOL, our 5 seconds of fame) and the guy they picked out of the crowd was made up to like like Hitler and he was placed in the audience as a “special guest.” Wish there were VCRs back then so we could have taped a copy of the air!
