(On opening for Adam Sandler in 1996) Allen Covert: Not only was it nerve-wracking standing up in front of 15,000 fans who didn’t know who I was, but I get stage fright, very badly. I would pace back and forth behind the curtains going 'Oh g-d, oh g-d, I hope they like me' and the man working the curtain would literally say back to me 'they're gonna love you, you’re going to kill them'.
Allen Covert (reference to the Wedding Singer): I was a walking ad for the 80s. I had shoulder pads, sleeveless shirts, mesh, parachute pants, pinkie rings, earrings -- any crazy thing anyone ever saw in the 80s, they gave to me!
Allen (reference to 8 Crazy Nights): I remember attending my cousin’s daughter’s bat mitzvah and having the kids come up to me and being so appreciative and thanking me for making this film
Allen's favorite food is donuts.
Grandma's Boy was inspired by a several-month stay Allen spent with his parents while his father recovered from bypass surgery.
Allen worked as at the Improv.... as a doorman.
