Allan Havey (born 19 September 1954) is an American stand-up comic and actor. He started his career as a comedian in New York City in 1981. He made his national debut in 1986 on Late Night with David Letterman and made several appearances on the show throughout the 1980s and 1990s.
In November 1989 he was chosen by HBO to host a show on The Comedy Channel (later known as Comedy Central). His show, Night After Night with Allan Havey, which initially ran for three hours nightly, presented clips of various comedy films and stand-up comedians, which was a common format for Comedy Channel at the time. Havey provided introductions and intermittent commentary. It became a cult classic among fans. Later on the Night After Night was shortened to an hour. The show also featured an "audience of one", a "viewer mail" segment, and announcer Nick Bakay, who left the show to perform the same role on The Dennis Miller Show and who would return after that show's cancellation in 1992. Night After Night ran for three years and was cancelled in December 1992.
Since then, in addition to a few minor film roles such as 2003's Melvin Goes to Dinner, Havey has appeared twice on HBO's One Night Stand, and has appeared in episodes of Seinfeld and Curb Your Enthusiasm.
In 2004 Havey was cast as a field agent on the MTV Hidden camera show Punk'd.
As of 2006, Havey is a cast member of the Fox sitcom Free Ride, where he plays Bob Stahlings, father of the main character Nate Stahlings.
