September 21, 1963 - December 21, 1963. Jerry Lewis hosted an unprecedented two-hour live variety - talk show, signing a five-year deal for 35 million dollars in 1963 with ABC Television.

Jerry's guests are Ethel Merman, Jonathan Winters, Phil Silvers, Sid Caesar who does a comic routine, and Peter Falk, a few of the cast members of Stanley Kramer's blockbuster comedy motion picture, "Its a Mad, Mad, Mad, World" which premieres in two weeks at the new Cinerama theater in Hollywood.

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).

NBC,
80 min.
Ethel Merman, Bruce Yarnell, Rufus Smith, Jerry Orbach, Benay Venuta, Harry Bellaver, Wayne Hunter, Tony Catanzaro, Jeanne Tanzy
Ethel Merman reprises the role she created from the 1946 Broadway hit, in this "lost" TV musical special, which was recorded off the air, direct line, on reel to reel 1/4" audio tape and is archived in the collection of Archival Television Audio, Inc. A duplication of this TV Audio Air Check has been donated to The Paley Center for Media by Phil Gries, founder and owner of Archival Television Audio, Inc.
NOTE:
The ONLY Irving Berlin related production (film or television) that is not archived. Not found in the Ethel Merman estate, as well.
NOTE:
To date no original video tape or kinescope exists representing this Special NBC TV broadcast with the original cast from the Lincoln Center Stage revival which opened for a limited engagement of 47 performances on May 31, 1966 and then moving to the Broadway Theater on September 21, 1966 for another 77 performances. An LP was released on July 1, 1966 with just the musical numbers.
Jane Klain at the Paley Center for Media has devoted much time over the years to finding the tape. She did find the box that once housed it but the title was ERASED out suggesting the tape had been erased and reused.
From published reports, the telecast wasn't successful, cutting the show to 90 minutes and performing without an audience robbed it of its vitality...debated by critics and the public to the contrary.

October 1, 1962-May 22, 1992. Johnny Carson, host of NBC's network late-night "Tonight Show" reigned for 30 unprecedented years...five times the combined tenure of Steve Allen, and Jack Paar. Carson was impervious to competition, including efforts to dethrone him by Les Crane, Joey Bishop, Merv Griffin, Dick Cavett, Jack Paar, Pat Sajak, Joan Rivers, and Arsenio Hall. Sadly, very few complete "Tonight Show" broadcasts survive during Johnny Carson's first ten years of broadcasting. Around 1965, through the early 1970's, oldest tapes were first erased systematically by orders from myopic NBC executives, to be recycled for purposes of saving money. Ironically, in many cases, these older master tapes were too brittle, and portended probable drop-outs for re-use after being erased. Subsequently blank after being erased, these older questionable master 2" Quad tapes were either sparingly used or never used again for recording new programming and eventually were discarded. Saving thousands of dollars at the time (wiping master tapes for potential re-use) resulted in losing millions of dollars by NBC in today's marketplace, and more importantly wiping thousands of historic TONIGHT SHOW broadcasts, which contain precious personal anecdotes from political, show business, and sports icons of the past.
Guests: Rodney Dangerfield, Ethel Merman, John Davidson, David Reuben.
NOTE: This specific TONIGHT SHOW may only contain an opening monologue by Johnny Carson.
