Joined in Progress. We hear Jack Paar’s monologue and there is a segment where editing a speech can change its meaning 360 degree, funny.
Guests are jazz pianist Eubie Blake, author Truman Capote, and comedian Jimmie Walker, Peggy Cass is co-host.
Truman Capote in an extended interview with Paar discusses his books and interviews with death row inmates, and the "Jet Set"...Jimmy Walker does a stand-up comedy routine and talks with Jack...and 86-year-old Eubie Blake plays a little piano but discusses with Jack Paar his early life, professionally and family and slavery (his father was 19 years older than his mother).
NOTE: At the time of this appearance, Eubie Blake was America's oldest living composer.

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.
Johnny's guests are Dom DeLuise, Glen Campbell, and author Jimmy Breslin.
