Thank You kgammill!
I've been looking for that blooper for years and finally YOU CAME THROUGH!
That was incredible! I watched it live years ago! Do you remember the year it was?

Allen was truly one of the great talents America ever produced!

@pixi2nv Himself. Steve didn't know how he was going to look until he saw his image on a tv monitor.

I remember watching this sketch with my Dad in 1958. He was laughing so hard just watching this master of entertainment. It warms my heart to see it again. Thanks.

Whenever Steve Allen did this sketch, he always called himself "Bill" Allen - I think both in imitation of many of the sportscasters of the time (like Bill Stern) who had that first name, and maybe in honor of his father, who was also named Bill.

This clip and the Timex gaffe with the outboard motor are a couple of the funniest moments ever in live television. Personally, I remember as a high school kid in the mid to late 60's hurrying home from school so I wouoldn't miss a minute of Steve's afternoon talk show from LA. He reprised many of the characters from the original Tonight show a la Louis Nye, Tom Poston, Bill Dana and Pat Harrington, Jr. Steve also renewed his "Man In The Street" bits out on the Streets of LA. Pure genious!

What was he laughing at?
One of the funniest if not the funniest clip of all time. Steve Allen had a monitor just off camera which is why he kept cracking up every time he saw himself. This is why live t.v. was so great.
