The "Hello Dere" comedy team of Marty Allen and Steve Rossi could be the Martin & Lewis of
tomorrow. Keep your eye on this pair!
Carol Burnett's helping them . . . Garry Moore's helping them . . . and Marty — the plump, wildhaired chap with the penguin walk — has caught the fancy of Abner Greschler, who managed Martin & Lewis into fame and fortune. He wants to star them in three big movies. "We need a slapstick team . . . there hasn't been one since Dean and Jerry," says Greschler, who's feeling his oats now because he happens to be managing Vince
Edwards and Tony Randall also.
Allen & Rossi have come up from the night clubs. They've transferred their humor to Garry Moore's show, primarily, without great alteration. I'm especially fond of their so-called interviews: Good-looking singing Steve Rossi playing the interviewer, with Marty being the subject . . . it doesn't matter which subject — anybody from Khrushchev to a lion-tamer — but always the interviewee must say "Hello dere" to the interviewer.
Marty (playing a lion-tamer) : Hello dere!
Steve: I know you're a famous lion-tamer. Do you hunt with a rifle?
Marty: No. I hunt with a club. Steve: Aren't you afraid to hunt with a club?
Marty: No. There are fifty of us. Steve: But you are carrying a gun.
Marty: Yes. If a lion comes near me, I'll kill myself.
Steve: I heard you crossed a lion with a skunk. What did you get? Marty: A dirty look from the lion.
After which, Marty, on a recent show, recited a poem: "Early to bed, Early to rise, Until I get money To do otherwise."
