| DENNIS ALLEN |
| HOST #3 |
| (1985 - 1987) |
| I KNOW
THAT THE IMAGES ARE VERY POOR BUT THEY CAME FROM A DEGRADED TAPE. HOPEFULLY
AS I SCAN THROUGH MY OTHER TAPES I WILL FIND SOME CLEARER RECORDINGS. IF
HIS FACE LOOKS FAMILIAR, TRY TO REMEMBER A COMEDY SHOW THAT RAN FROM 1968
TO 1973 CALLED "LAUGH IN".
HE WAS ON THE SHOW FROM 1970 TO ITS TERMINATION. AS FAR AS I CAN FIND OUT
HE MADE APPEARANCES ON A COUPLE OF OTHER PROGRAMS AND THAT WAS IT UNTIL
HE HOSTED "ALL NIGHT LIVE".
HE ALSO APPEARED IN LIVE STAGE PRODUCTIONS SUCH AS DINNER PLAYHOUSES AND
THE LIKE. ON "ALL NIGHT LIVE"
HE CAME ACROSS AS A GENUINELY NICE GUY. HE WASN'T ON AS LONG AS THE OTHER
TWO. NOT ONLY WAS THIS THE END OF "ALL NIGHT
LIVE", BUT IT ENDED A DECADE OF HORROR AND
NOT SO HORROR HOSTED TELEVISION IN KANSAS CITY. WHAT
A SHAME !!!
AFTER "CREATURE FEATURE", KANSAS CITY'S CHANNEL 41 HORROR HOSTED SHOW, WENT OFF THE AIR IT WAS REPLACED BY A PROGRAM WITH A MUCH LESS COLORFUL FORMAT. I'M NOT SURE WHY IT WASN'T FOLLOWED WITH THE SAME TYPE SHOW ESPECIALLY WITH THE SUCCESS THAT "CREATURE FEATURE" ENJOYED. THE NEW PROGRAM WAS CALLED "ALL NIGHT LIVE". I WILL GIVE TO THE BEST OF MY RECOLLECTION, THE NAMES OF THE HOSTS AND THE ORDER IN WHICH THEY APPEARED DURING THE SHOWS SPAN. UNFORTUNATELY THE DATES AND DETAILS ESCAPE ME. THE SHOW MIGHT HAVE MADE IT INTO THE 1990'S BUT I'M NOT SURE. |
