This is a full episode (with commercials) of The Steve Allen Plymouth Show from 1960. The guest lineup includes Johnny Carson, a few years before he'd take over The Tonight Show, which of course was started by Mr. Allen. Also on board are Diana Dors, songwriter Johnny Mercer, comedienne Belle Montrose (Steve's mother) and Steve's little "stock company" of comics: Louis Nye, Pat Harrington, Dayton Allen, Don Knotts, Bill Dana and Gabe Dell. There are, alas, no credits but I'll betcha the writing crew consisted of not too many guys — possibly just Stan Burns and Mike Marmer plus maybe one other — Herb Sargent or Bill Dana — plus Steve. They did not put a vast amount of prep into these but they still managed to be quite entertaining. Take a gander, at least at the opening segment with Mr. Carson…
