1960 - NBC - The Steve Allen Plymouth Show IN COLOR !!! (1 / 4)

From an original color videotape master, see what only the well-to-do folk who could afford a color television in 1960 saw in "Living Color" on NBC Television at 10 p.m. on January 11, 1960. It's "The Steve Allen Plymouth Show", sponsored by Plymouth, a division of Chrysler Corporation. This episode features Steve Allen with Tony Bennett, Caroline Richter, Monica Zetterlund, Jayne Meadows, Louis Nye, Gabe Dell, Bill Dana, Les Brown and his Band of Reknown, This part features Steve and Tony Bennett singing "Wait for Me", accompanied by Les Brown's Big Band. Then, a taped commercial for a 1960 Plymouth Fury Convertible (supposedly Steve's own car). Then, comedian Caroline Richter, followed by 'singing sensation' Monica Zetterlund. This part ends with a filmed 1960 Plymouth Valiant commercial with a Cool West Coast jazz score. PLEASE NOTE: there are a few audio dropouts (from the master).

Dancing Girl hit the boom. They searched high and low and could not find ANY black native Jamaican dancers in Steve Allen's particular Jamaica. What a hideous forticated society his was.

@dvdmrtnkls How 'hard' was 'it' to search for the dancer in the striped pants who opens the show and tries to push the 'D' button?

"See this command seat, sort of like a PILOT'S!...and every control is in easy reach of the driver." Awesome, I hate cars where the blinkers are only accessible from the back seat.

[musicom67]

@Ramubay Hardly a 'command seat'... In those days they were lacking a headrest for whiplash control or shoulder belts... Now PUSH the "D" button and Drive (Just hope it doesn't get stuck!)...

3:31 - Hear how the dancing girl hit the boom microphone while removing the hat from Steve.

@dvdmrtnkls Calm down, sir or madam.  Your overreaction is embarrassing to yourself and others.

Caroline Richter is my stepmom and she's alive and doing well! Thanks for publishing this video, I didn't know how good she was!

@cmcb09 I'm referencing the MST3K invention exchange where it was determined Steve invented everything.

[cmcb09]

@tertommy Granted his shows didn't always have the best writing, but when it came to discovering talent and getting them in the public's eye he was a genius.

[tertommy]

Steve Allen invented color TV, and the automobile, and YouTube too.
