Jack Paar

[CassAnayadotcom]

if this happens on Feb 4, a week later one of the most important instances happen in the Tonight Show. Jack Paar walks off the set for being censored. He told a WC (water closet (toilet)).

[1950Bob]

Feb 4, 1960 - Comedian Jack Parr will be interviewed by Joyce Davidson.

Can you imagine that there was actually a time when english was spoken intelligently on TV?

[Laughandsong]

Gay should still mean happy!!!!!! Thanks to the homosexual movement for hijacking a perfectly innocent word! LOL

[RichHartley19671]

@Laughandsong You can always start a new movement to reclaim the word for the bigot world.

[CusterFlux]

Who's the goddess doing the interview? I didn't know they made them like that up here?

[gollyo]

@CusterFlux  Probably Elaine Grand, who was an interviewer at the time of this broadcast.

Comment 1: Jack Paar gestures and sounds a lot like Jack Benny in this clip. Comment 2: WHO'S THE WOMAN? Yowsah!

[fromthesidelines]

One week after this interview, he literally walked off his late night show over a harmless {today} joke involving a "water closet", which was removed by NBC before the show aired. Paar objected to the network censoring ANYTHING on his program, staying off TV until he and the network reached an agreement for his return a month later.

[MrHanMi]

Anything resembling an exact date for this clip?

[CBCtv]

@MrHanMi This interview was broadcast on February 4th, 1960 on the CBC program, Close Up.

It's hard to believe that Paar didn't notice anything about Marilyn Monroe's great talent. Even in retrospect, he still had nothing to say about her.

[lancer89032]

Paar said that he was architectually impressed by Monroe. If you mean by great talent that Marilyn was a great actress then I feel you are being overly generous. Which role displayed her acting talent? I liked Marilyn by the way and admired her when she came to the defense of her husband Arthur Miller when he was attacked by a House committee.

[Jazzanswer]

Check out "Don't Bother to Knock" and "Niagara".

She is also great in a small but unforgettable performance in "All About Eve".

[lancer89032]

Ok, further research is required and thanks for the followup comment, Peace and Health, Lancer

[evpsareallaroundus]

If Leno had been old enough back then he would have tried to steel Paar's show too ..

[hourlynewscaster]

You asked about the SCRIPT. There was none. This was ad libbed. It sounds better because people back then were educated. Dennis

[iEras3di]

Man this is great television.

Howcome the script today is not as good.

[equalcharliebrown]

"acrictechually, yes, the way she was built"

That's GOLD!

[littlemc444]

this bitch probably looked up and practiced a couple of big words before she came on to try and look smart

[fredxtini1]

The freakin homos have hijacked the English language. He used gay in its proper meaning. The se other people should really be called Sodomites....

[EricTheRed03]

gay meant happy back in the day.

[KaptKan1]

@EricTheRed03 That's back in the day, before the English language, and a whole lot else, was totally corrupted.

[Verbatim2232]

He isn't saying that he is gay. He is saying that he is fooling people by action gay, or open, verbose, extroverted.

[KillinDaWelfareMCs]

wow was he the first man on tv to admit that he was Gay at 37 seconds into the clip.

[38village]

his line about agent's heart and loyalty saying if in a fleas belly button there would be plenty of room

[reneecalling]

Yes, please upload more Jack Paar clips, if you have any. I really enjoyed the interview.

[MoonLightMitch]

If you have any more clips of Jack Paar, could you please upload them? Paar is amazing.

[MatuArt]
