 June 24, 1956-December 27, 1961.
The multi-talented Steve Allen- musician, composer, singer, comedian, author- was the star of this live weekly variety series that bore a strong resemblance to his informal, late-night Tonight! Show. Although the program had elements of music and serious aspects, comedy was far and away its major component. Steve had with him one of the most versatile and talented collections of improvisational comics ever assembled. Among the features that were used at one time or another on a semi-regular basis were: "Letters to the Editor," "The Allen Report to the Nation," "Mad-Libs," "Crazy Shots," "Where Are They Now," "The Question Man," "The Allen Bureau of Standards," and "The Allen All Stars." The most frequently used feature, and by far the most memorable was the "Man on the Street Interview." It was here that the comics on the show developed their best-remembered characters: Louis Nye as suave, smug Gordon Hathaway, Tom Poston as the man who can't remember his own name, Skitch Henderson as Sidney Ferguson, Don Knotts as the extremely nervous and fidgety Mr Morrison, Pat Harrington as Italian golf pro Guido Panzini, and Bill Dana as shy Jose Jimenez.      

Guests include Tennessee Ernie Ford, John Payne, Gisele McKenzie, Eddie Fisher, and George Gobel. A preview of the 1957 Fall season on NBC.                                                         

October 1st, 1957-March 17th, 1959

An hour-long variety series starring singer Eddie Fisher. It alternated bi-weekly with the George Gobel Show. During the 1957-58 season, Gobel was a permanent guest star on Fischer's show and Fisher did the same on Gobel's show. 

On this episode of the show, the guests are Bob Hope and George Gobel. Bob Hope monologue includes comments about Sputnik and moon jokes. In a skit, Hope tells Eddie Fisher how to tell jokes. Fisher tops Bob.                         

Stars from the world of show business pay tribute to the late Emanuel Sacks. Their tribute takes the form of 90 minutes of entertainment by Sid Caesar, Rosemary Clooney, Nat King Cole, Perry Como, Eddie Fisher, Betty Grable, Bob Hope, Harry James, Tony Martin, Dinah Shore, Frank Sinatra, Kay Starr, Danny Thomas, Jack Webb and Jane Wyman.
Some of these entertainers were discovered by Manie Sacks, all of them were helped by him during his years as a record-industry and television executive and all were his friends.                     

Rematch with pre and post-fight interviews. Les Keiter calls the boxing match and Howard Cosell does the color commentary. Preceding the fight, Eddie Fisher sings the National Anthem.  Rocky Marciano also comments. There is an interview with Floyd Patterson's mother. Also, we hear Gabe Pressman interview both Ingemar Johansson and Floyd Patterson the day after the fight at a Press conference.                          

Jockey Eddie Arcaro to retire, boxer Benny (Kid) Paret dies of a brain injury he suffered in his middleweight boxing fight vs. Emile Griffith in Madison Square Garden in New York City ten days ago, OAS terrorists keep up the violence in Algeria, Elizabeth Taylor to divorce Eddie Fisher, she is romancing with  Richard Burton.  

NOTE: Emile Griffith's career was overshadowed by the fatal beating he gave Benny "The Kid" Paret in their 1962 title bout. The outcome darkened the world of boxing even prompting some network television stations to stop showing live fights. It also cast Griffith as a pariah to many inside and outside the sport. Emile Griffith went on to have a successful career after that fatal fight, but Griffith acknowledged later in life that he was never the same boxer. He would fight merely to win, piing up the kind of decisions that praised by purists but usually jeered by fans hoping for a knockout.                                                 

Joe Franklin hosts his last show for ABC-TV. He reflects on his first broadcast in September of 1952, and the first live Joe Franklin Show song "Mother" sung by Eddie Fisher. Ralph Herman and the orchestra play that tune.
