For those who grew up with that thing called a "television,"
ReplyDeletethis game—call it Fun Almighty—was popularized
by STEVE ALLEN.
This sounds like a comment I could have fabricated:
DeleteSTEVE ALLEN was the first host of something
known as The Tonight Show on NBC.
The Tonight Show proved that a late night "talk show"
—with an emphasis on the "funny bone" could succeed.
Luckily, for me, I wasn't reduced to a grain of salt
for using such a simple seven-letter-word
as "succeed"
