He knows good entertainment when he sees it and he knows when a guest is working, stay the hell out of the way!.

Jack’s reference to Halley’s Comet at the beginning … would have been particularly in the public consciousness at that time. Last time the comet appeared was in 1986.

Nobody will ever top Johnny. He had class, funny and intelligence and interesting to watch all at the same time. Rip legend. You are missed and needed more than ever in this increasingly dark time

As he said, his personality traits did him in! Imagine being his level of nervousness before every show! He was a wreck bef show started! Plus he was smarter that 90% of guests which prob drove him crazy over time, having to dumb down his questions.

Mutual Respect and Admiration. I loved Johnny! Jack wasn't wrong.

oh my ...What a treat .thankyou... boy I miss my parents.

One of Johnnies best guests! His history is terrific w mom complaining about losing Walter!

"And to this day you're sticking to this story." Johnny was the MASTER!

Carson was the best. This shows just how great he really was. Notice how he lays back and lets his guest go on with what he's saying and doesn't try to control or orchestrate him, what a pro. I always thought that Jack and Johnny looked quite a bit alike. Watching the "Carson Show" as everybody called it back then, was so comforting. After watching, especially when it was 1 1/2 hours long, I could simply drift off to sleep and dream of wonderful things. We miss you Johnny and Ed and Doc too.

I am quite honest in saying I was not a real Jack Paar fan….nor a “can’t wait to see” type person when it came to these type shows & THEN😳Johnny Carson (no, we are NOT related😢) took over the HELM! Then, “I was easily HOOKED!”😳 Now, here, wondering at the edge of life as I prepare to welcome my 77th birthday in a few days, WHY was I NOT a “Paar Fan” during his reign?🧐 I certainly, overly enjoyed his appearance here!☺️ I ENCOURAGE those thinking about a talk show, as well as those already in the lineup, “PLEASE TAKE NOTE” because 🌟”THIS is HOW it’s done!”🌟

Jack was before my time, and since I’m 73. I'll bet he was long before most people's time. From what I understand, compared to Johnny Jack was rather blah. I'm glad I was around in Johnny's time. He was terrific. But I really enjoyed his stories in this chip.

Jack's show had a different format from Johnny's. As Jack himself said, he could never do the type of show that Johnny did. However, for the type of show that Jack did, he was also very talented and was highly respected. Johnny hesitated in taking over the Tonght Show, fearing that he would not be able to fill Jack's shoes. The rest, as they say, is history.

Jack was ahead of his time in some ways. Im sure he would benefit from more unusual comedy skits and shticks like a Letterman. He wasnt the interviewer Johnny was. Nobody was or is.

I hated it when Jack Paar went off the air. But Johnny was really a great replacement.

True comedy gold.

ONLY ONE JOHNNY CARSON 👍 ONE OF ONE

Parr is so likable and entertaining.

But one of the funniest bits that Jack Paar did on The Tonight Show..was an old film in black and white about the Old European Town about the Harvest of Spaghetti Noodles from the Spaghetti Trees and Bushes! It was so outrageous and funny..it was said that tons of viewers of this sketch wrote in to see if it was truly real! 🥴🤔😜🥰

@thefonzkiss

That was an existing BBC April Fool’s parody clip about the spaghetti. Paar (and a bunch of other networks around the world) replayed it. Google Spaghetti Hoax.

Got some Jack Benny vibes from him.

Jack Harold Paar (Canton, Ohio; 01 de mayo de 1918-Greenwich, Connecticut; 27 de enero de 2004) fue un comediante de radio y televisión y presentador de televisión estadounidense, cuyo trabajo más conocido fue el llevado a cabo en The Tonight Show.

I watched this on the original airdate and I knew it was a special moment even though I was born 10 years after Jack Paar left the air

Jack was a good story teller. Johnny and Jack were two different but yet similar hostes. Both were very good at their job, Johnny just had more gears than Jack.

I've heard about Jack before but haven't seen any of his shows and the thing that I find kind of strange is that Jack looks younger than Johnny.

This is a terrific study in the differences between Jack Paar and Johnny Carson. The 2 men had strakingly similar backgrounds, but they were quite different. Note how Carson immediately points out that they were not close, and Paar had a nasty habit of making snide comments about Carson. But as was shown here, Paar was a rambling, neurotic mess, as opposed to a cool, calculating Carson. It's little wonder that Carson lasted 25 years longer than Paar.

He made over 150 appearances, you must have more even with all the tapes that were lost for good. His videos are the funniest videos on here.

And yet Paar's hosting the tonight show full time from 57 to 62 has been erased. IMDB only has him listed as guest hosting 4 episodes in 1956.

Paar actually looks in better shape than Johnny at this point. He could have easily been on the Tonight Show for 25 or 30 years.

The guy is a natural. You can see that Paar had the talent, communication and skill. Too bad he did not try to do another talk show. He was great. Fluid, fun and interesting. Almost like the collosal mistake of Pernell Roberts leaving Bonanza, Paar should have never let his show.
