Title: Who Was This Person? #9
Post by: CG6468 on April 25, 2012, 02:15:12 PM
This is a simple one.

This host of a TV show was born in the 1920s and was a prodigious author of books and songs. His TV appearances were hilarious back in those days, and most of the tapes of him are still hilarious.

To whom am I referring?

Steve Allen was a fabulous pianist and as already said, was a comedian of immense talent. He is missed.
