Born in Philadelphia, Bob first made his name as a ventriloquist on NBC on the Today Show in the 1950's, while still in his teens. He appeared in 1953 on CBS on Ted Mack's Original Amateur Hour and was able to get his first regular television job hosting his own program on WTAR in Norfolk, Virginia. This led to his being hired on at WJZ-TV in Baltimore, Maryland in 1963 on the Bob McAllister Show. The show was a big success and led to an offer from WNEW in New York to host his own program there in 1967. Though the New York version of the show failed, he was brought in as host of the popular show Wonderama, which was syndicated, to replace the departing Sonny Fox and stayed even after the show became Kids Are People Too in 1977 and switched to the ABC network. Sadly, McAllister was forced out by 1980. He would spend the rest of his life performing magic shows for local children til his death from lung cancer in 1998.
