Steve Allen was hilarious and Jerry Lewis was absolutely hysterical. There's been nobody like either of them since. Nobody is quite in their league.

Steve's IQ was off the charts and so quick-witted..fondly remember watching the old "Tonight" show..and typically for back then, we couldn't watch until we'd done our all our homework.

Now that Jerry Lewis has razamatazz and expressive humour by the bucket load. Never really seen him in anything but I like his style in humour. Its both witty verbally and facially expressive. Steve Allen is of course divine (blushes furiously).

One of the best episodes. Normally I find Jerry Lewis annoying but here he is likeable - people who try too hard to be funny come across as desperate. Steve Allen is funny without seeming to try and John Daly is the same. They know when to stop.

I could not stand Jerry Lewis stupid comedy years ago and still can’t today. But I respected his efforts for Muscular Dystrophy and always supported him. But his comedy? Omg……horrendous. But I have to add…this is the first time I’ve ever seen him talk normal or act normal…wow…..but that kind of comedy is not my bag…

@Willa: I seriously doubt given Steve Allen hosted "Tonight" in 1956 and this was almost a full decade later. Johnny Carson was early in his three-decade (1962-'92) run as host of "Tonight" when this originally aired live.

Interesting that Steve Allen did what he did here. On the episode where Mr. Daly gave him away as the mystery guess by accident, Buddy Hackett remarked, "Just let him go back and have him come back as somebody else". In a matter of speaking, that seems to be what he did here.

Jerry's disastrous variety program was not that long ago from 1966. That program evolved into the successful "Hollywood Palace" when ABC dumped Jerry and kept the format. Jerry was more successful in Tv in the 1950s and was more successful in movies in the 1960s.

Jerry was 40 at this time. And while he moaned when asked if he was a TV star, he would get another network show on NBC the following year. It was a 1 hour variety/sketch comedy show and lasted 2 seasons.

WML not WMY (stupid spell corrector.) I'm glad to see Jerry before his ubiquitous chronic pain got to him. I wish his son Gary would re-watch this vid, with its unmistakable genuine audience appeal, where Jerry was loving and thoughtful to him, so Gary will stop publicly stating his brother's fate was because of bad-father Jerry. UNBEARABLE EXCRUCIATING PHYSICAL PAIN, Gary! Jerry Lewis is my idol. I love you, Jerry. Always have. Always will.

I'm wondering if the Steve Allen segment was an unofficial secret "test-run" to see how he "played" in front of a studio audience before he started his infamous gig as Tonight Show host. Probably. In those days there was time and attention in "the business" to do plenty of test runs. They still did them up through the 1970's in Hollywood. I'm giving away trade secrets. Allen was a shoe-in, but he did play so well here that he stumped the polished panel. Fascinating episode of WMY, and I haven't even watched the Jerry Lewis (my Guru) segment yet.
@michaelmantle60438 жыл бұрын
+Willa Green Your attempt at posting a comment with some modicum of intelligence failed miserably. This episode of WML aired 12 years after Steve Allen was the first host of the "Tonight Show." You should have kept your trade secrets to yourself. Also, I would suggest you look up the definition of the word infamous. There was noting negative about Mr. Allen's tenure as host of the show.

As another commenter noted, watch Lewis first cross himself in the usual Christian manner and then with a Star of David motion. Very funny. The female fire eater, unfortunately, was unusually boring and lacked any discernible personality.
