| Jack Paar, RIP |
| 2004-01-27 |
| Jack Paar died today. He was 85. Paar had the Tonight Show before Johnny Carson, for the young 'uns out there. Johnny Carson had the Tonight Show before Jay Leno, for the even younger. Jack Paar — dead. I kid you not. |

| #3 Paar was a little before my time, but I've heard nothing but good about him, just like Bob Hope. I expect the same will be said for Johnny Carson, when the ineveitable happens. |

| #2 Thanks for the post Fred. Jack gave us a lot of pleasure, and a tear or two, while he was host. In addition to those mentioned were Steve Allen who started the "Tonight Show" and Ernie Kovacs who was a part-time host during its early days. |
