I still miss Steve Allen.
Steve Allen! I’d forgotten that he was the originator of the Tonight Show. What a genius! So much of the current format was his doing. He was so outrageously funny and he brought very funny people on to the show as cast members and writers. You could tune in his show and be assured that you would find yourself laughing out loud in spite of yourself. So many of the current crop are good for a chuckle or two but Steve Allen would put you on the floor laughing your pants off.
Yes, Steve Allen was great.
