Louis Nye began his career in the theater and after the World War II he ventured into radio. Deciding he would rather do comedy than drama, he performed his stand-up routine in New York City. Receiving good notices he wound up on
The Tonight Show hosted by Steve Allen who had a difficult time holding back his laughter with Louis' gags and ad-libs. Louis became a regular and as one of his many characters, Gordon Hathaway he coined the catch phrase "Heigh-ho Steveorino!" He appeared on numerous television shows and spent one season on
The Beverly Hillbillies as Sonny Drysdale.
