  • I enjoy Mr.Paar's humor here and the piano rendition of"Lover"performed here by Mr.Melis.

  • 0640 sell water, Jack 30 years later it happened!

  • Paar had a lot of experience on wake-up programming. He started doing morning radio on WBEN in Buffalo before he was drafted into the armed forces in World War II--I worked there in the late 70s at a time when a few of the old-timers who'd worked with him were still around, and they said the Jack Paar Buffalo got in 1942 was a lot the same guy you see here--dry, witty, subtle--both on and off the air. You can also see how he got to be a star just within the next few years.

  • That announcer at the top sounds like the very same fellow who handled the announcing for "The Morning Show"on CBS in 1987..!

  • I love, love, love the desk. It's not square. People are laughing and they aren't talking all at once and it's wonderful.

  • I remember that Walter Cronkite, who preceded Paar, hated doing the show. I think he felt above what he thought was frivolous programming.

  • Pardon, WALTER CRONKITE was the first host of "THE MORNING SHOW", then Jack Paar!!!

  • That's Hal Simms as the announcer, 'noah'. He was also Jack's announcer on his mid-morning CBS variety show towards the end of '55...Ernie Kovacs had actually done an early morning show locally for WCBS-TV in 1952-'53, "KOVACS UNLIMITED" {in virtually the same format he'd done for WPTZ in Philadelphia ["THREE TO GET READY", 1950-'52]}, and wasn't on for long. Nationally, CBS decided to challenge Dave Garroway's NBC "TODAY SHOW" with "THE MORNING SHOW" in '54, with Paar as its first host.

  • My recollection is that Jack Paar replaced Ernie Kovacs on the Morning Show. Does anybody have kinescope of those?

  • That opening announcer...I'll bet he's the same CBS guy that worked mornings for 35 years...!
