Fred Allen (May 31, 1894 – March 17, 1956), born John Florence Sullivan, was an American comedian whose absurdist, topically pointed radio show (1932–1949) made him one of the most popular and forward-looking humorists in the so-called classic era of American radio. His best-remembered gag may be his long-running mock feud with friend and fellow comedian Jack Benny, but it was only part of his appeal; radio historian John Dunning wrote that Allen was old-time radio's most admired comedian .

- Fred Allen (May 31, 1894 – March 17, 1956), born John Florence Sullivan, was an American comedian whose absurdist, topically pointed radio show (1932–1949) made him one of the most popular and forward-looking humorists in the so-called classic era of American radio. His best-remembered gag may be his long-running mock feud with friend and fellow comedian Jack Benny, but it was only part of his appeal; radio historian John Dunning wrote that Allen was old-time radio's most admired comedian . . . and most frequently censored. A master adlibber, Allen often tangled with his network's executives (and often barbed them on the air over the battles), while developing routines the style and substance of which influenced contemporaries and futures among comic talents, including Groucho Marx, Stan Freberg, Henry Morgan, and Johnny Carson . . . but his fans also included President Franklin D. Roosevelt, and novelists William Faulkner, John Steinbeck, and Herman Wouk (who'd begun his career writing for Allen). Ironically, because of his often barbed observations of the medium, Fred Allen was honored with a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame . . . for contributions to television.

- Fred Allen (synt. John Florence Sullivan) oli yhdysvaltalainen radio- ja televisiokoomikko, joka aloitti uransa vaudeville -taiteilijana. Sullivan aloitti uransa jonglöörinä ja vatsastapuhujana taiteilijanimellä Fred St. James (myöhemmin Fred James). Vuosina 1915–1916 hän osallistui vaudeville -ryhmänsä mukana kiertueelle, joka ulottui Australiaan, Uuteen-Seelantiin ja Havaijille. Palattuaan kiertueelta hän otti itselleen lopullisen taiteilijanimensä Fred Allen, ja samoihin aikoihin hänen ohjelmistonsa alkoi painottua komediaan. Uransa radiossa Allen aloitti vuonna 1932, esiintyen useissa CBS:n ohjelmissa, kunnes 1934 hän sai oman ohjelmansa Town Hall Tonight, johon vuonna 1939 aloittanut The Fred Allen Show pohjautui. Fred Allenin lisäksi ohjelmassa esiintyi myös hänen vaimonsa Portland Hoffa. Allen kirjoitti itse lähes kaikki ohjelman 273 jaksoa. Fred Allen kuoli 61-vuotiaana. Hänellä on kaksi tähteä Hollywood Walk of Famella. Lisäksi hän on päässyt Radio Hall of Fameen.
