That monologue is just one big pop after another. Amazing how much humor they used to pack in there. I miss this type of late-night TV so much. It died with Letterman’s retirement.
You are so right. But this was 'written' "Hollywood" humor - kinda like Kimmel is still doing (a mix of Steve Allen bits, etc.). The others are generally comedic actors or satirists - a completely different bag.
So true. Letterman was a most intelligent host. I really enjoyed what I was allowed to see by way of late-night talk shows. I was eleven when this show aired. I do clearly remember Paar, Cavett, Steve Allen, and of course, my fave, Letterman. Leno was cool. I don't watch late-night talk anymore...rather see the masters here on RUclips.
I just can't see the attempt to try and place the later hosts up there with Allen, Parr and Carson. When Carson left it was essentially over for late night talk shows. Even though the names we all know, that format endured into another form.
How how awesome
You can see how Johnny took a few cues from Jack. The level of creative wit in the comedy of those days was superlative. Makes me wish I was young again. "Aye, there's the rub!" Today's late night is substandard.
Unfortunately, ya just gotta deal with 'Young At Heart' and sobbing while watching the DECADES channel on your CBS OTA station... Officially middle age.
Dick Cavett wrote for both Jack and Johnny
Today's late night is like turning a barrel upside down and scraping off the barnacles . . . worthless content . . . . . worthless banter . . . tawdry . . . dumbed down like everything else . . .
I didn't know they had credit cards back then. Learn something new everyday.
@@awshade176 it's been sanitized beyond belief, one sided politics, so many groups off limits from lampooning. but I guess their audience makes them plenty of money.
Jonathan Winters, back from the coast, as he would have been working on one of my favorite comedies of all time "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World"!
Bette Davis is a sweet diva and she makes me smile. Love her.
Bette Davis and Jonathan Winters together? Amazing!
I miss that era of sophistication. I saw Cary Grant in Nashville about 1982. It was an ethereal experience. He had no script. He simply told stories with that famous voice of his and then took about an hour's worth of questions!! We all felt like we were in a Cary Grant movie. It was fabulous.
Long faded like the film, my friend... Like a different world, eh?
That era is long gone I’m afraid. I also miss the days when true legends walked the earth. I got to meet Vincent Price forty years ago after a speaking engagement. What a fine gentleman and excellent raconteur .
This was a weekly prime-time show Jack Paar did after he left "The Tonight Show".
When Paar left "Tonight", he was still under contract to NBC until 1965, so to fulfill the contract, he did this show until the expiration of his contract in 1965.
The two best known episodes of his prime-time show both aired in January, 1964.
One of them featured the first interview of Bobby Kennedy after the assassination of his brother.
The second featured a videotape of a Beatles appearance on British TV that had been taped a few weeks earlier. That tape aired about three weeks before their live American TV debut on Ed Sullivan.
39:37-When Bette apologizes for being hoarse......and Jonathan steps in, with his hoarse voice...... such comedy gold. Such genius between all 4 of them. And here we are in 2024, where has this kind of gentle, thoughtful comedy and comradery, gone?
That Betty Davis interview was amazing
jack Paar, Dick Cavett, johnny Carson...and the 50's & early 60's great comedians as ack Benny, ackie Gleason, Red Skelton...others!
Oh, what we had back then. It is very, very fine to get many of them now though, because of the tech advances. Paar is one of the best entertainers ever, Dick Cavett was almost another Paar, his brilliance, humor, knowledge, etc.
First time watching Jack Paar very pleasantly surprised! he was really great!
Same here. The monologue surprised me. It didn't have the level of sophistication I expected from him.
You can hear Dick Cavett’s jokes, not just the material but even in Paar’s Cavett like delivery. Especially in the part about Liver Bile
I can totally hear Dick Cavett in the Liver Bile joke.
Thank you thank you! I was a big fan 🪭 of Parr. I think he was the best.
Jack's energy comes across as personal and honest. Omg. Johnathan Winters and Betty Davis. Amazing.
Thanks for this bit of history.
But from cancer to smoking?? Omg.
And an original "catch me if you can." omg.
In the late 1960s I, a teenager, visited my divorced mother in Las Vegas and she took me to a show in which Gisele MacKenzie was the headliner.
Thank you for uploading. I wish I could watch every show.
Great upload! Thanks very much. Hope you have more Jack!
Yes... I will digitize more ;-)
@@musicom67 Thank you!
I remember watching the Jack Paar show when I was six. It was on late at night. Great stuff. It was a shame he quit and walked out.
I was 8 years old in 1960 , my brother and I would only watch on Friday night as there was no school next day . When we had a “snow day “ off of school the first thing I would think of was …. Oh boy , no homework , the second thing was we can watch Parr.
I was that age and remember that background music the minute I heard it, when he walked on stage.
It's hard to believe Jonathan Winters was just 37 years old here.
A young Jonathan Winters! Classic.
This is hilarious. Never actually watched Jack. Probably the best. One banger after another
Hertz rent a car had a commercial back then where a man floats down into the driver’s seat of a convertible as it’s rolling down the road..in case anybody wonders what Jack Paar is referring to in his opening monologue. Ha
Thanks. The context helps.
Thank You!!
Can you believe the smoking scene? I laughed and laughed.
The best "Tonight Show " host was Steve Allen.
Time took care of Walter Winchell! Supposedly almost nobody came to his funeral...
He was a slimebag...
@@randysills4418 as was Herb Caen from SF Chronicle
Who cares if anyone came to his funeral? HE certainly didn’t. He was dead.
Two dachshunds? I know how this breed can take over a household!
Did Hal Gurnee continue to direct the "Tonight Show" while directing Jack's show?
Yes and Hal Gurnee went on to direct the first Letterman show on NBC.
I loved Gisele MacKenzie - especially when she played "Getting To Know You" on the violin with Jack Benny, We had a neighbor, Mrs. Pelusio, that looked just like her, at least my brother and I thought so. If I close my eyes I can hear Bette say as only Miss Davis could say it " What A DUMP"
Normally in the 60's I would go get a snack or do my business during the singer.
Not Gisele MacKenzie!
What does Jack ask Bette @ 35:58? He asks "do you have a ____, there dear?" and Bette responds, "of course, I, only ____ in here....no, I don't have any." sorry, it seems it's a slang? but i don't know it lol thanks in advance!
38:25: Bette Davis ...The Oscar really looks best turned around, because it has the cutest fanny. I have a 90s Telly that ripped off the Oscar style (holding a TV), and it has the same fanny! What a racket
These shows were originally on color video tape, too bad they didn't save them. A kinescope is better than nothing, I suppose.
Was this the show he had after Carson took over the Tonight Show?
Yes
And Bette used to say that smoking didnt seem to do any harm to her (after 2 strokes and a mastectomy)
Bette Davis was highly intelligent but was able to talk herself into the idea that smoking wasn't risky, and life is the luck of the draw. Warn somebody now about the statistics, and you'll be told this: "My Aunt Ida smoked three packs of Luckies a day and lived to 94. My cousin Charlie never smoked and died at 53." Case closed.
@@akrenwinkle we're all going to die don't worry about it
It is phosphate and the other chemicals the war department spews over the land add air born pollution. God made plants man made 200 forms of cancerous parasites.. began Roman iron ore production 2000 years or so ago. Unnatural is toxic. Organi
@@akrenwinkle it bigger reason then the innocent plant...
My sister smoked 60 years and swore it couldn't hurt her. She started coughing continuously and was diagnosed with COPD. She now lives with an oxygen machine next to her. It slowed her down so much that she gained 80 pounds within a year, spends most of her time in her recliner, and needs to rely on a walker. She has to have a portable oxygen machine if she ventures within 50 feet from her chair. It beeps if she breathes through her mouth instead of her nose. She's become a nervous wreck and never sees any friends. This is all due to her smoking. I only wish more people could read this and stop smoking before it catches up to them, and then it's too late.
Jonathan Winters Comedy routine would be 100% banned today.
Johnny definitely copied his style..and im glad that he did ❤
Back when late-night TV was witty and funny. Now you have Jimmy Kimmel having Hillary Clinton open a pickle jar that doesn't pop.
feels weird seeing comedy that's actually just trying to be funny and not just a bunch of bitter writers wrapping their political opinions in the talk show format
I know some bitter writers and producers...😂
Never found Jack Paar funny. Watching this just reminded me of that.
They called it 'cerebral humor'...😀
@@musicom67 He may be related to Walter Winchell and Dorothy Kilgallen.
Jack Just ruined A Great Gig
Don't see women with a waist line like that anymore.
