A classic example of Allen's humor comes from an August 1968 appearance on The Steve Allen Show'', syndicated nationally in the US by Filmways: "Did you know your mind alone can make you smart?" After his show business career ended, Allen was a real estate agent, operating out of an office in Dobbs Ferry, New York. He died of complications from a stroke.
