9. McAllister Later in Life
After “Wonderama,” McAllister hosted a show aimed at teens on ABC, called “Kids Are People Too.” The name of that show was a nod to his former gig on “Wonderama,” where he closed every show with a song called “Kids Are People Too.” The show was not successful. Mcallister popped into corporate banquets in the ‘70s and ‘80s, speaking to adults who once watched his show. In the end, lung cancer ended his life early at age 63.
