A syndicated version of "The Steve Allen Show," known informally as the "Westinghouse Show", ran, through Westinghouse Broadcasting, from June 1962 to October 1964. It was taped at what would later become known as "The Steve Allen Playhouse" in Hollywood and followed Allen's original 90-minute "Tonight" format. Why Allen decided not to return to "Tonight" himself was not clear, especially considering Jack Paar had just left the show and the position was open. He instead ended up competing against new "Tonight" host Johnny Carson. Original announcer Gene Rayburn and bandleader Skitch Henderson did not return to this version (Rayburn was by this time hosting "The Match Game" on NBC and Henderson opted to rejoin "Tonight" under Carson), instead being replaced by Johnny Jacobs as announcer and Donn Trenner as bandleader, respectively (in early 1964, Bill Daily succeeded Jacobs as Steve's announcer). Following a dispute with Westinghouse over creative control, Allen left the show in 1964 to take over hosting duties on "I've Got a Secret", and a young Regis Philbin briefly took over the reins in its final weeks. The Trenner orchestra included some of the finest West Coast jazz musicians, among them guitarist Herb Ellis, trombonist-scat vocalist Frank Rosolino and saxophonist-trombonist Bob Enevoldsen.
