Remember, Allen used to watch his shows at home and count his close-ups. One time he called George Choderker at home to complain about getting only six close-ups.

Thanks, Chris! Geez. Thank heavens Ludden had Steve Allen around to make sure his close-ups were well lit.

Lighting is one of the few things Allen didn't complain about. Guess he left that to Steve.

In his book, Adam mentions that Goodson requested Gene to move to L.A. When he refused, Goodson told him he was not including airfare as part of the show's budget, since he considered moving to L.A. a reasonable request. So Gene paid out-of-pocket for his travel expenses.

Speaking of host commutes, I've read before (likely on here) that G-T offered Bob Clayton the gig for syndie Concentration in the 70s, but he declined as he didn't want to commute from the East Coast or relocate.
