My pal Jerry Hopkins
Posted By thecircusblog on January 5, 2010
Jerry Hopkins ….never a nicer guy! Jerry was a comedy writer and also booked the talent for the Steve Allen show in the 1960’s. The show was probably one the funnest shows on TV. Jerry was always looking for unusual people, comics and sometimes pretty daring things for Steve to do. This is where I came in. Jerry thought it be would funny and also show off Steve’s talent by doing certain circus stunts. It became a regular, about every two weeks we came up with something he could do and knowing Steve he would turn it into laughable situation. It was an honor to work with such a fine man as Steve Allen. Thanks Jerry for all the good times. Incidentally Jerry and I are good friends to this day. We stay in touch by email and as I said before he is writer…so look for his books. Many are biographies of famous people.
