The naughty Jerry Lee’s first TV appearance

July 28, 1957
Jerry Lee Lewis appeared of TV for the first time when he performed on the Steve Allen Show on this date.

Only a year earlier, Allen humiliated Elvis by making him appear in a tuxedo, singing Hound Dog to a dog, in an attempt to desexuallize Elvis‘ performance, Well, Jerry Lee Lewis gives a performance far more threatening than anything Elvis ever did live on television, just by the way he kicks that stool.
