#V29: JACK PAAR PROGRAM, THE
1965-04-23, NBC, min.
Mike Nichols, Elaine May, Jack Paar, Nichols & May

     September 21, 1962 - September 10, 1965

Jack Paar elected to pursue a three year NBC series in prime time soon after stepping down as host of THE TONIGHT SHOW STARRING JACK PAAR (1957-1962). These broadcasts took on the form of a variety / talk show format. Each telecast opened with a Paar monologue. Also shown from time to time were personal home movies shot by Jack on various trips by the Paar family to Africa, Russia, and Europe.Jack's daughter, Randy Paar would often assist her dad narrating these films.  

Appearing with Jack were many of his old regulars from the TONIGHT SHOW including Alexander King, Oscar Levant and Jonathan Winters. This 10pm Friday prime time slot attracted many notable guests, including Richard Nixon, Barry Goldwater and Ted Kennedy. Also, given exposure were many young and veteran entertainers, Liza Minnelli, Judy Garland, Ethel Merman, Peggy Lee, and stand-up comedians, among them, Woody Allen, Bill Cosby, Godfrey Cambridge, Jackie Vernon, Mike Nichols & Elaine May, Burns & Schreiber, and Dick Gregory. 

Impact appearances occurred introducing footage of The Beatles, prior to the group appearing on The Ed Sullivan Show, and a young Cassius Clay (Muhammad Ali), singing and spewing poetry with Jack and Liberace. 

After three years (one and a half years less than his tenure on THE TONIGHT SHOW), Jack Paar called it quits and would prematurely retire from the business with the exception of  producing and starring in a handful of Specials for NBC and accepting one brief return to regular television, for nine months, hosting an ABC late night talk show, JACK PAAR TONITE in 1973).                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          
#7404: SMOTHERS BROTHERS COMEDY HOUR, THE
1967-04-09, CBS, 38 min.
Elaine May, Tom Smothers, Dick Smothers, Esther Ofarim, Blues Magoos

February 5, 1967-June 8, 1969. "The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour" was a breath of fresh air, but to CBS the Smothers Brothers seemed to be in the wrong place at the wrong time, with the wrong things to say.   

This unscheduled broadcast is joined in progress. 
Highlights include:
-Opening monologue with Dick and Tom Smothers ("Roll That Cabbage Down").
-The Blues Magoos perform, "Pipe Dream of the Blues."
-Comedy skit with Tom Smothers and Elaine May playing a married couple spending hours at home rehearsing  what they will be saying at the Academy Awards ceremony, later that night.
-Comedy reflections by Dick and Tom Smothers related to last years' Best Film Nominations.
-Esther Ofarim sings "I'm By Myself Alone."
-Eshter, Tommy and Dick combine to sing a "THREE SONG."
-Tom and Dick take questions from the audience.
-Esther Ofarin sings,"At Times I Feel Like a Motherless Child."
-Dick Smothers with the backing of chorus sings "Mame."
-Tom Smothers reviews his performance, criticizing it.
-Tom and Dick Smothers thank their guests and describe next weeks show with guests Simon & Garfunkel, Ann-Margaret, and John Gary.

*This scheduled broadcast scheduled to be aired the following week, April 16, 1967 did not air, and in its place the show that replaced it was broadcast with guests Lana Turner and Robert Morse.

**The anticipated proposed program with Simon & Garfunkel, Ann-Margaret and John Gary that never aired is now considered one that was either never produced or was completed and taped but shelved and now considered  a "Lost" Broadcast.
