Like the old kid TV show host (Sandy Becker? Chuck McCann? Fred Hall? Sonny Fox? - it was one of them) used to do with his character Mr. Backwards. ;D

What was the joke? Professor Backwards was killed in a mugging today in NYC. Passers by ignored his cries of "pleh, pleh."

Yeah, Steve Allen did plenty of schtick. But what I liked as a kid were the "man in the street" interviews. He had quite a crew with Tim Conway, Louis Nye, Tom Poston and several others who went on to do TV comedy for quite some years.
Later on I appreciated the jazz musicians he had on. Also talent like Lenny Bruce, Jack Kerouac etc..
