Steve Allen created the Tonight Show in 1954 on New York station WNBT (later WNBC) and was presented on the NBC network the following year. Allen also created many of the bits that became staples of the program in later years. These included audience questions, man-on-the-street sketches, and reading funny newspaper headlines.

Without Allen, there would have been no Johnny Carson, but that also makes him responsible for Jimmy Fallon.
