Comedian/Host Steve Allen (1921-2000) described his transition from radio into television, working with writing team Madelyn Pugh and Bob Carroll on his prime-time radio show, The Steve Allen Show, and his first television appearance in 1949 as a wrestling announcer for ABC in Los Angeles. He fondly recalled hosting a multitude of Steve Allen Shows for television, and the classic Tonight with Steve Allen, as well as the creation and hosting of PBS' Meeting of Minds.

And of course, Marshall McLuhan uses the words "cool" and "hot" in even more unfamiliar ways... and almost no one knows what he's talking about!

I used to sneak to watch Steve Allen on TV. As a child I recognized his intelligence mixed with humor. His show was stimulating to a developing mind.

A supremely talented man - but a very gentle man and a humble one as well. I was very lucky to have seen him in action on TV in the 60s and beyond.

I love Steve Allen. His show Meeting of Minds was so informative and entertaining. His book Dumbeth could be a testament to where we are today.
Steve Allen- one of a kind.... and still missed.
