SUMMARY:Steve Allen: Renaissance Man of Late-Night Television
DESCRIPTION:Steve Allen: Renaissance Man of Late-Night Television\nThe Tonight Show has been a mainstay of American life for over 50 years. Each of the permanent hosts has stamped American culture in unique\, distinctive\, and memorable ways. Who was the greatest host in the history of the Tonight Show? That is a matter of personal opinion\, of course. However\, in terms of the sheer influence on the direction and the look of late-night television talk shows\, the choice would probably have to be Steve Allen. If you loved when Johnny Carson did his memorable “Carnac the Magnificent” routine\, you might not know that it was a direct copy from the Steve Allen routine called “The Answer Man.” Jay Leno was famous for “Jaywalking.” It was a clever routine – and directly copied from Steve Allen. When Steve Allen appeared on the Tonight Show to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the program\, Jay Leno knelt and kissed his ring! \nSteve Allen: Renaissance Man of Late-Night Television\n As the first host of The Tonight Show\, Steve Allen helped shape our late-night television expectations. But he was far more than just a superb comic broadcaster. This amazing man wrote over 75 books and over 5000 songs\, appeared in major movies\, won awards as a producer\, lectured on philosophy\, history\, and ethics\, and was an accomplished jazz musician. Nobody in the history of show business can approach Steve Allen’s fantastic range of talent and intellect. We will watch rare film clips\, listen to hilarious stories\, and enjoy examples of Steve Allen’s music. I will also add numerous personal anecdotes about my acquaintanceship with Steve Allen. \nThis is one of my favorite presentations! I know you will love it. \nCOST\nThe program is available for a minimum contribution of $5.00\, which helps support my work and allows me to continue offering engaging content. \nPAYMENT OPTIONS \nCash/Check\nPayable to: Barry Bradford\nMail to:\nBarry Bradford\nP.O. Box #177\nDeerfield\, IL 60015\nPlease write “Steve AM” in the subject line. \nPayPal\nPay securely via PayPal:\n\n(Please note: PayPal deducts 10% of your donation as a fee. I receive $4.50 per $5.00 donation.) \nVenmo\nSend to: @B-Bradford-1\nPlease include “Steve AM” in the note. \nZelle\nUse the email address Barry1776@ATT.NET\nInclude “Steve AM” in the note. \nWAIVER OPTION\nIf you cannot afford to pay or feel my programs aren’t worth $5.00\, you are welcome to attend for free or contribute less.

SUMMARY:Johnny Carson The King Of Late Night (AM)

SUMMARY:I Love Lucy - The Amazing Life Of Lucille Ball
DESCRIPTION:“I Love Lucy” was a cultural phenomenon!! It was not only the most popular television show on the air during the mid-1950s\, but it also continued to make audiences laugh over 60 years after it first aired. Many consider it the funniest situation comedy of all time. \nHow widespread was the popularity of” I Love Lucy?” In her autobiography\, Lucille Ball told a charming story of being in Japan\, turning on the TV\, and seeing one of her favorite episodes of the show-dubbed in Japanese! \nIn the 1960s\, Lucy returned with a new show that also dominated the ratings for half a decade. \nBut behind the scenes\, Lucille Ball’s life was far from a comedy. Although she is well remembered for her kindness\, generosity\, and warmth\, she suffered through a very dysfunctional childhood. Her rebellious teenage years almost led her to disaster. Lucy’s marriage was controversial and challenging. Although she had built a solid career as a model and movie actress\, it wasn’t until the years of television that Lucille Ball became a superstar. \nIn this fascinating and fast-moving multimedia presentation\, we will examine Lucy’s life before and after “I Love Lucy.” Using many video clips\, fascinating biographical anecdotes\, and intriguing insights\, we will learn the real reason everyone should love Lucy. \n  \n
