I don’t really remember Steve Allen. I was a little mite when he was on late night. I do remember Jack Paar. He wasn’t bad. I have somewhere a book authored by Paar about the celebrities he met and the places he traveled to. Interesting and often funny read.
Sorry FRiend but Jack Paar was in fact a very bad man. As a extreme liberal, he sought to tarnish the reputation of Conservative William F. Buckley. That alone makes him reprehensible. On top of that, Paar was rightly called "Fidel Casto's Buddy" by Conservative columnist Donald Rogers. As a leftist, he was likewise a weakling, as evidenced by his well-remembered girlish crying bouts on camera.
