BIOGRAPHY: [no bio found]
TRIVIA:
- 'Milton Berle' (qv) always referred to Steve's mother, 'Belle Montrose' (qv), as "the funniest woman in vaudeville".
- At one point in his broadcasting career he was a commentator for professional wrestling. He later admitted that in order to juice up his commentary, he made up the names of wrestling holds. Apparently, nobody ever questioned him about it.
- First coined the question "Is it bigger than a breadbox?" when making an appearance as a panelist on _"What's My Line?" (1950)_ (qv), 18 January 1953.
- Son of vaudeville stars Carroll Allen and 'Belle Montrose' (qv).
- Father of Steve Jr., David, Brian and Billy Allen.
- During his 1940-1941 school year, he transferred to Phoenix Union High School from Hyde Park in Chicago. In spite of a late start he still received credit in the yearbook for the Annual Staff, Journal Staff, Mor Follies, Entertainment Committee, Scribble and Blot. His trademark glasses are missing from his senior picture. Following high school, he attended Arizona State University Tempe in 1942 when it was the State Teacher's College. In a matter of months his parent's vaudeville blood got the better of him, and he dropped out to work as a disc jockey at KOY radio in Phoenix.
- Brother-in-law of the late actress 'Audrey Meadows' (qv).
- Biography in: "Who's Who in Comedy" by Ronald L. Smith; pg. 12-13. New York: Facts on File, 1992. ISBN 0816023387.
