  • ...and nobody mentions this when they talk about The Tonight Show and late night television and where it got its start. Everybody mentions Steve Allen, which is the proper place to begin the genealogy of The Tonight Show itself, but a lot of them leave out Broadway Open House with Jerry Lester. Jerry Lester and Milton DeLugg and the orchestra. Milton played the accordion. Ray Malone was a tap dancer. Dagmar was the sex bombshell who, I guess she could pass for a singer, I don't know, uh, and Jerry Lester. Funny. Broadway Open House. And that one really got my attention. 'Cause that was mixed, planned and unplanned, slapstick and verbal and that was just, you know, for me was, that fed me. I never missed Broadway Open House. (en)
