This review is from: On The Air! The Classic Comedy Of Steve Allen (Audio CD)

This is a collection of comedic recordings by Steve Allen. Most of the tracks are taken from his television shows, but there are a few recorded especially for records, or recorded at live appearances. Some of the classic routines from television include: The Question Man (Steve gives the questions to answers), Man on the Street (oddball characters answer Steve's question of the day), and Funny Fone-Calls (prank phone calls). Some of these bits are a little dated, but the prank phone calls are absolutely hilarious. There are also funny songs and "hipster" versions of fairy tales, among other things. Like I said, some of it is dated, but for the most part it's funny. Steve Allen fans will definitely enjoy it.

If you remember the original "Tonight" show with Steve Allen, you will love this CD. I especially love the trumpet solo when Steve starts laughing and cannot stop. This man was wildly talented, and seemed to thoroughly love his job, and it showed. I cannot recommend this CD highly enough. If you ever need a laugh, just put this one on, sit back and enjoy!
