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.

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

SUMMARY:David Letterman (AM)
DESCRIPTION:The Life and Career of David Letterman is a fast-paced\, funny\,  and engaging multimedia presentation exploring one of the most influential and original voices in the history of late-night television. From his early days as a weathercaster in Indiana to his breakout as a stand-up comic and guest host for Johnny Carson\, David Letterman redefined the genre with a style that was ironic\, unpredictable\, and completely his own. We’ll look at why Johnny Carson wanted Letterman to replace him as the permanent host on the Tonight Show and the fierce “Late Night Wars” between former friends\, David Letterman and Jay Leno. \nThis program traces Letterman’s rise through Late Night with David Letterman on NBC and his legendary run on The Late Show at CBS. Using rare video clips\, photos\, and behind-the-scenes stories\, we’ll highlight his groundbreaking comedy segments\, famous interviews\, and the cultural impact he made over more than three decades. Letterman’s influence can be seen in every host who came after him—from Conan O’Brien to Stephen Colbert. \nWhether you grew up watching him toss pencils\, drop objects off a five-story tower\, or trade barbs with celebrities\, this presentation offers a fresh look at a man who helped shape modern comedy. Join us as we celebrate the wit\, creativity\, and lasting legacy of David Letterman. \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.
