Good point, bcsco.
I thought of adding Steve Allen to my original post, but left him out because Steve seemed more comedian that host. His impromptu Hat Gags and ‘Man In The Street’ interviews are classics.
Jack.
He was actually the first host of The Tonight Show, and later had his own Steve Allen Show where the ‘street’ interviews began in earnest. I remember him having a Kewpie doll or something he’d squeeze. Great comedy.
