I was smiling the whole time.

What a rare talent was Jack Paar!  He is so witty and pleasurable to watch. It's fitting that Jack Benny,  another of the same talents, gave Jack Paar his start in television. ❤️ May God rest their souls. 🙏

So years later your kids can see their parents at a time when they were young & attractive

See? This is why we photograph wedding parties.

Such a great talent. Not to be seen again is Jack Paar.

A challenge for a retrospective like this: the vast majority of Paar's career doesn't survive on videotape, except for a handful of best-of clips. Johnny Carson, upon discovering that NBC had also done away with the first decade of his shows, imposed demands that all of his shows from 1972-1992 be archived (a smart business move, since they're in reruns today).

Jack Par was such a class act. No one ever equaled him, much less surpassed him. I was very sad when he was no longer the MC of the Tonight Show. It was always such a deligt to watch his show. Johnny Carson was good but...

This was wonderful!!    I remember Jack Párr and loved his show and loved it all over again tonight!, thank you so much!!😊

Andy Warhol said it once that in years to come every one will have fame for fifteen minutes JG

Truly an American Master. In fact I wonder if he ever ran across Al Jolson over there.

His writer guest started me reading and buying books at age 16. I still have books featured on his show by Jack Douglas and Alexander King. I cannot watch todays Late Night  shows which inspire hardly anything as Paar did.. His show changed my life!!!

My grandma says Jack Paar was her first crush - she was 6 and her dad would let her stay up and watch - now I can see why❤❤

Hugh Downs, ... talk about a consumate "Supreme Broadcast, Anchor, Journalist"

Jack Parr, in his genre', likewise had his unique Supreme Value and was the cutting edge, 1st in the Late Night Shows, and only he and Carson had that something special.

Others were good, but they were/are a different era and flavor.

JP featured a filmed segment of Beatles before their Ed S. debut.

I remember Mort Sahl was on Jack Paar a ton. Do you have any of those GoodWater? Thank you!

Did they have tape back then?

Paar was a nervous ninny. Hard to watch for any length of time.

I don't want to encourage them

He was a 'master' of what?  Narsisistic, neurotic, controlling, self-promoting and more...
His favorite words were - I, my, me, myself...
