July 29, 1957- March 30,1962. Joined in progress. Jack Paar talks with guest Johnny Mercer who reveals his own personal greatest songs...discusses royalties, etc. He states that Bing Crosby is his favorite singer. Mercer sings a medley of songs including, "I'm An Old Cow Hand," "Atkinson Topeka & the Santa Fe," & "Accent the Positive." Marian Marlowe sings "Autumn Leaves." Jack talks with Virginia Graham who recounts a long story. Interesting and revealing discussion between Paar and guest Jockey Billy Pearson who tells of the time he and John Huston were together and Huston wanted to ride Pearson's Ferrari and thought the tachometer was telling him what his speed was as they drove all around France. Charles Schwartz, dog trainer, discusses with Jack the different breeds of dogs. *Most of this series does not survive in any broadcast form. Kinescopes were discarded, burned, decomposed...whereabouts unknown. 2" Quadruplex Video Tape was expensive ($300 for a one hour reel), weighting 26 pounds, requiring great storage space. Video Tape could easily be erased and was used for new program recordings...retained briefly for a re-run and then erased or discarded. Legend has it that even Jack Paar himself hired a junk man to come to his home garage and paid to have JACK PAAR TONIGHT SHOW recordings discarded (reels of kinescopes and video tapes) that were now cluttering up his space. During this era in television history archiving television programming was not a primary concern or vision, and considered an arcane pursuit. ARCHIVAL TELEVISION AUDIO, INC. retains over 70 complete and excerpt JACK PAAR TONIGHT SHOW air checks (34 hours), including the complete Jack Paar's first anniversary telecast which was broadcast live from Havana Cuba (June 28, 1958). These originally recorded off the air pristine sound direct line 1/4" reel to reel audio tracks, recorded at the time of the original broadcasts, represent the only broadcast record of a "lost" visual telecast. ATA is the largest single repository (one collection), in the United Sates of Jack Paar Tonight Shows recordings. The combined archives of The Library of Congress, Paley Center for Media, and UCLA Film & Television retain a composite total of 13 hours of representative JACK PAAR TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts excerpts...none complete. For four years and eight months Jack Paar reigned supreme as host of the TONIGHT SHOW with a crew of regulars, but only two stayed with him for the entire run; announcer Hugh Downs and band leader Jose Melis, a former army buddy. Familiar faces who appeared many times with Jack included Dody Goodman, Betty Johnson, Elsa Maxwell, Alexander King, Genevieve, Jack Douglas; and wife Reiko, Zsa Zsa Gabor, Hans Conreid, Peggy Cass, Cliff (Charley Weaver) Arquette, and Jonathan Winters. Hugh Downs substituted for Jack Paar 79 times, more than any other substitute host. There were 20 different substitute hosts for Paar over the period of the series run. Joey Bishop substituted for Paar 31 times. Arlene Francis, 30 times, Jonathan Winters, 26 times, Orson Bean, 21 times and Johnny Carson 15 times. All together there were 243 broadcasts which had substitute hosts filling in for Paar during Jack Paar's TONIGHT SHOW tenure. The title of the late night broadcast changed to THE JACK PAAR SHOW which took effect on February 3, 1958. The first video-taped broadcast aired on January 5, 1959. "Best of Paar " Re-runs began on July 10,1959. Beginning July 20, 1959 Jack Paar began taking off Monday nights & guest hosts would substitute for him (approximately on alternate Mondays). The first color broadcast aired on September 19, 1960. Theme music, "Everything is Coming Up Roses" was first used beginning in the Fall of 1959. Location broadcast telecasts of the program telecast away from the Hudson Theater in New York City occurred 14 times during this series run.

September 5, 1949-June 7, 1954 (NBC); June 14, 1954-June 16, 1963 (ABC). This was the first broadcast of the season. "Voice of Firestone," which began on radio in 1928, was a Monday-night perennial for more than two decades before coming to television in 1949; for the next five years it was simulcast on NBC radio and television, until a dispute between the sponsor and the network over the Monday time slot led Firestone to shift the program to ABC. The half-hour musical series presented all kinds of music, but emphasized classical and semiclassical selections. Each week a guest celebrity was featured, and for many years the principal guests came from the Metropolitan Opera Company. The Firestone Orchestra was conducted by Howard Barlow, and the show was hosted by John Daly during its years on ABC; Hugh James was the announcer. "Voice of Firestone" was seen as a series of specials from 1959 until 1962; it returned as a weekly series in the fall of 1962 for a final season (September 30, 1962-June 16, 1963). "Best Of Opera."

This musical/variety special honors the career of theatrical composer Jerome Kern (1885-1945). Singer Patrice Munsel opens the program with "Yesterdays," and host Bob Cummings visits Kern's "memory space," where he chats with frequent Kern collaborator and librettist/lyricist Otto Harbach. Harbach briefly describes the history of "Smoke Gets in Your Eyes," written for "Roberta" (1933). Keely Smith performs the song, followed by "Why Do I Love You?" from "Show Boat" (1927), joined by singer Louis Prima. Cummings chats with announcer Hugh Downs about Kern's personality, noting that he kept a bust of composer Richard Wagner on his piano. Howard Keel sings "All the Things You Are," accompanied by dancers Bambi Linn and Kelly Brown. Bob Cummings introduces the famous "alter-ego dance" scene via a film clip from "Cover Girl" (1944) in with Gene Kelly, smarting over an argument with love interest Rita Hayworth, converses and dances with his own reflection. Cummings explains that Kern helped invent a new form of "musical comedy" with 1905's "The Earl and the Girl." He joins Carol Channing for "How'd You Like to Spoon with Me?" Smith and Prima sing "The Bull-Frog Patrol," and Channing, playing a late-night maid in a historical museum, performs "Cleopatterer" from "Leave It to Jane" (1917). Patrice Munsel and Howard Keel sing the title song from "Till the Clouds Roll By" (1946) and are joined by the other performers for "Look for the Silver Lining." Bob Cummings reads positive notices for the 1931 musical "The Cat and the Fiddle," and Brown and Linn perform the "Poor Pierrot" ballet from the show. Cummings recites "The Last Time I Saw Paris," the poem written by Oscar Hammerstein and set to music by Kern, which then went on to win an Academy Award for Best Original Song from "Lady Be Good" (1941) and was again featured in the 1954 film also titled "The Last Time I Saw Paris." Munsel sings "All Through the Day," and vaudeville performer John W. Bubbles sings "Bojangles of Harlem" from "Swing Time" (1936). Keely Smith performs "Can't Help Lovin' Dat Man" from "Show Boat." When Prima stops by Linn's rehearsal, he decides that "I Won't Dance," though is quickly convinced otherwise. Keel sings "Ol' Man River" and Lisa Kern sings "Bill," both from "Show Boat." Munsel and Keel sing "The Song is You" from "Music in the Air" (1932), and the program closes with an all-cast reprise of "Look for the Silver Lining." Announcer is Hugh Downs.
