In history? Not really.
Besides, a certain member of this board would surely disagree with these sentiments. [/quote]
Or maybe not. You might not like someone, you might have difficulty working with them, but you don't wish DEATH on them. Painful rectal itch, maybe, but not death. [/quote]
 Which wasn't what I was implying, or at least I hope not.  I was just saying that Chris probably wouldn't agree with the "charming, witty"...etc. part of this post.

He also did a commercial for a bank

I think Allen did several commercials for businesses nationwide -- when I was a kid, I think he was a voiceover in commercials for Federals, a defunct discounter in Michigan. I don't think he appeared, but I could rdcognise his voice.

Someone here mentioned that Allen also hosted a game show for the Massachusetts state lottery in 1976, after Password left ABC.

Wasn't he also the announcer on Ms. White's 1971 syndicated show "The Pet Set"? I'm sure he also voiced the promos for it as well.
