TIS THE SEASON TO BE JOLLY! Happy birthday to the worlds all thyme best laugher, Steve Allen (one of my erstwhile mentors, alongside Ezra Pound, Aldous Huxley, & the original Richard Burton). This famous Laughing Scene was directed by N. Brice Shipley — related to OUR Las Vegas Shipley? m.youtube/watch?v=YaNxy4wDv1k&feature=share Steve invented the talk show, and the comedy improv while walking out in the audience, and out in the street, for that matter. The author of over 40 books, he was also a respected pianist and composer of serious music and the most prolific writer of hit songs ever. He launched the careers of nearly all of the most famous comedians and talk show hosts who came in the generation after his own. He was a mathematician, a scientist, a political activist, a philosopher, an inventor, a movie star, and had approximately a thousand other amazing talents. m.youtube/watch?v=C4XFROzcs9k&sns=fb
