Steve Allen's 38th book is an autobiography covering his fifty years
in radio and television. Filled with comedy, both on- and
off-camera, this is Allen's first-person look at the Golden Age of
TV. Hi-Ho, Steverino! includes Steve's experiences as creator and
first host of the Tonight Show, and his years as star of his own
primetime comedy series The Steve Allen Show, where he worked with
such gifted comedy players as Don Knotts, Tom Poston, Louis Nye, Pat
Harrington, Jr., Gabriel Dell, Bill Dana, Dayton Allen, Buck Henry,
Tim Conway, The Smothers Brothers, and Jim Nabors. In recalling the
glory years of these series, Allen reminisces about getting to know
such luminous guests as Jack Kerouac, Lenny Bruce, Elvis Presley,
and Jerry Lee Lewis. There's a chapter on Allen's award-winning PBS
series Meeting of Minds, and reports on his other comedy-and-talk
shows, series and specials, in which he relates on-the-air TV
boners, mistakes, and technical mishaps that are now part of the
comic folklore of television history. Along the way, Steve Allen
pays tribute to Arthur Godfrey, Ernie Kovacs, Jack Paar, Dave
Garroway, Jerry Lester, and other video pioneers. |
