He set the standard for how the TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JACK PAAR format evolved, including introducing the standard monologue at the beginning of every show, which continues to evolve to this day...however, sans the whit, charm, warmth, ease, unpredictability, vulnerability, pace and controversy which Paar brought to TV audiences at night. Jack Paar was stellar, and he is sorely missed by most Baby Boomers who remember watching him in real time. Mostly forgotten by todays' younger audiences Jack Paar needs to be re-evaluated at length to place him royally as one of the most, if not the most, important LATE NIGHT HOSTS IN THE HISTORY OF LATE NIGHT TELEVISION. Interestingly, current documentaries examining the history of Late Night television, including the current CNN 6 hours retrospective on the subject THE STORY OF LATE NIGHT (2021), relegates only 15 minutes of screen time to Jack Paar's contributions as one of many late night hosts.

1965-07-21, NBC, 18 min.
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. Guest host: Joey Bishop. Opening monologue only.

#10101: TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JOHNNY CARSON, THE
1965-07-30, NBC, 60 min.
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.

A lot of humor exchanged. Joey asks Betty to remember her beginnings as an entertainer going back to when she was three years old. She describes how Vincent Lopez discovered her...first Broadway musical Panama Hattie and how star Ethel Merman deleted three of her songs from the the show because they were getting more attention than Merman wanted...learning techniques from Helen Morgan, and other great performers of the era...first big song, Rockn' Horse which she remembers the verse...singing a duet to It Had To Be You.

April 17, 1967 - December 26, 1969. THE JOEY BISHOP SHOW was one of several attempts by ABC (previously Les Crane tried and failed to attain ratings) to establish a strong late-night talk show. Bishop held the record (177) substitute hosting appearances for Johnny Carson on The Tonight Show, and had been quite successful. It was hoped Joey could lure away some of Carson's audience. Similar to Jack Paar, in 1960, Bishop surprised his audience on the night of November 26, 1969, and walked off the show while taping his opening monologue. The Joey Bishop late-night program lasted for one more month using guest hosts before it left the air. During three phone conversations I had with Bishop, in the early 2000s, he confirmed to me that almost ALL of his late-night shows had been erased by ABC. Joey Bishop hosts the 46th Annual photoplay magazine Gold Medal Awards. Joey is the recipient of this award. Dean Jones accepts for Glenn Ford. William Shatner and Leonard Nemoy accept for Gene Roddenberry, and David Janssen accepts for Paul Newman. NOTE: The 57th Annual Photoplay Awards aired 11/21/78 ~ ABC-TV was one of only two Special Photoplay Awards (this show aired as a one hour Special) produced, with this one in 1978 being the last one ever. Photoplay ceased publication in 1980, and it’s staff started a new magazine called “Us Magazine” which is still published today. Previous TV exposure for the Photoplay Award was broadcast on The Steve Allen Show in 1959, and The Merv Griffin Show in 1966 and 1967. NOTE: There a slight hum is heard occasionally as originally broadcast.

On the day of the death of assassinated New York Senator Robert F. Kennedy, Governor Ronald Raegan is interviewed by Joey Bishop via phone related to the assassination of Sen. Robert F. Kennedy. First question from Bishop to Raegan is how do we abolish guns from indiscriminate use by those who can purchase guns so easily in our country? Ronald Raegan, governor of California, describes his feelings related to the assassination of Kennedy and why it occurred. He states that there should be no collective guilt by Americans. Moral standards seem to be changing in our country. America must return to principles where individuals are responsible for their actions and not society. Raegan describes his conservative approach to government. He feels that all candidates today running for president are targets for assassination. Reagan states that he not in favor of restricting gun control but addressing the law to be less lenient with criminals who use guns and break the law. There should be swift and certain justice for such individuals. We should review the USA permissive attitudes in the courts. Raegan also addresses Joey's question: "How does the rest of the world look at this tragedy?" Commercials include: Kennel Ration Dog Burgers, Gold Bond Stamps, Lee's Hair Pieces for Men, and an ABC TV plug for viewers to watch "Divorce Court," "General Hospital," and "Dark Shadows."
