While Allen often was critical of rock and roll music, he also often booked rock and roll acts on his television program "The Steve Allen Show". It featured such acts as Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, Louis Jordan & the Tympany Five, the Treniers, and the Collins Kids. Allen famously scooped Ed Sullivan by being one of the first to present Elvis Presley on network television (after Presley had appeared on the Tommy and Jimmy Dorsey "Stage Show" and Milton Berle shows).
