Gerald, thank you for posting this. All of the 1959 to 1960 Steve Allen Plymouth shows in color look great. Unmatched NBC Living Color from RCA TK-41 cameras in Burbank Studio 1. Far superior color rendition than even today's cameras. No wonder why Johnny Carson insisted on using the TK-41 cameras in Studio 6B in New York for several years after the TK-44A's became available.Too bad, Steve Allen's 1957 to 1959 programs from Brooklyn in color appear to have been lost.
This is when writer’s and actor’s still had imaginations . They knew how to make us laugh. 😂😂😂Steve Allen was one of the Best. Music that was music. ♥️🎼🎶♥️Car’s that were real 🚙 car’s. 🥰😎 Thanks for posting,,Gerald. Chris from Portland,🥀Oregon. 💕🥀💕
Most people alive today have heard an elder Tony Bennett deliver a sincere, measured performance but are not aware of his early exuberant, fast-paced power as shown in the last song, "Sing You Sinners".
Lovely arrangement behind her from Les Brown and Co as well. Beautiful. Steve’s intro 11:00, performance 11:30, and the orchestra beautifully following her vocal at 13:04
Tony didn't get through his cigarette when he did his ballad. Apparently he had to drop and extinguish it before he got to the high notes at the end of song.
What I find intriguing about this archive is how the film presents itself... it's kind of hard to believe this is from 1960 because of the 60 fps and color in the film. Or maybe I developed some incorrect misconception as to how TV was viewed back in the 60s, I never knew that images were reproduced in 60 fps live back in this time frame. It almost makes it seem like "this program came out not to long ago", I hope this statement isn't confusing.
NBC was virtually the *only* television network to present regular color programming {on a limited basis} in 1960. CBS decided not to telecast ANY color shows- except for an occasional special, including the yearly telecasts of "The Wizard of Oz"- until the fall of 1965. ABC couldn't afford to present any color programs until the fall of 1962 (and even then, it was two or three filmed series in prime-time, and a few cartoons on Saturday mornings).
Steve Allen's last year on NBC before the end . then a brief apearance on ABC black and white prime time then the final end of his network TV prime time variety run . The competition with Ed Sullivan his first two years probably did him harm in the long run .
Suckin' on a cancer stick was the culture back in the day. Do some research and watch videos from that era and you'll see MANY TV stars smoking. No one knew the dangers of smoking back then; except for the tobacco industry. Smoking was glorified, and people were suckered in, thinking smoking was cool and unknowingly, they were on a collision course with mortality.

The greatest talent in the history of television, Mr. Steve Allen.
Plymouth!! Solid for 1960!!
Incredible!

Caroline Richter is a real-life precursor to THE MARVELOUS MRS. MAISEL...
Steve Allen (not really) made a cameo in that show when Lenny Bruce appeared on Steve’s Sunday night program
Love this!
Thank you for posting

Wooow Monica Zetterlund was there...awesome and i didnt know that, what a pleasant surprise!

I get it! Color programming was very rare back in the day, so videos like these seem quite difficult to comprehend with how we view vintage TV now.
This isn't "film"; this is *COLOR VIDEOTAPE.* And it's *very* rare to find a program that exists on videotape- even in color- from that period.

He had a summer series in 1967 on CBS
Monday nights, 10pm(et).

Steve can sing too?
Watch out. Historic Films owns these and causes trouble. I know. Surprised you've been safe so far.
I like to live dangerously.
Be sure to archive all of these videos, whenever possible.
Lighting a cigarette mid-song. Yuck!
